How do you reef?
@vandalorian87774 ай бұрын
I’m guessing the tether along with the leash to your safety vest as set up, won’t keep you from falling overboard but will instead drag your body through the water.

I guess I know the answer because your video is very good but I want to doble check: is it possible to reef down wind with this system? Not necessary in a run, let´s say 120°?

I ended up cutting my whole drum off with an angle grinder because the screws in the drum were all corroded. I tried drilling them out, but it would’ve taken a infeasible time. I’m now waiting on Schaefer for two weeks to reply to my email about a $400 replacement drum. Those flat head phillips screws in the drum are bad engineering in my opinion. The cap screws on the sail feeder have faired fine in comparison.

I wonder why they measure the foils for cutting when the foils are all coiled up. That seems super awkward. Why not do it when they're uncoiled and just lying out on the dock. Super helpful video though.

There was a NY 50 in Hawaii, a few years ago, sitting in storage. The story I heard, someone would come every year to work on it, but it appeared to be a loosing battle with the elements. Would this qualify as a possible project for your series? I can do some homework to see if it is still around.

I’m doing a full professional restoration on a 1950 40’ Trumpy built S&S sloop in Rockport, Maine. Presently the cabin top has been somewhat rebuilt, the cockpit has been torn down and is being rebuilt, a new Beta engine is being installed, and new sails have been ordered. Over the winter the below the waterline work will be done. I think we’re going in the paint booth sometime in November. Appreciate the videos you’ve done on the Cal 40 (actually considered buying one at one point). Let me know if you are interested in my project. Should be completed for launch in the spring.

nice to have you back. it is encouraging to have someone who is educated, articulate and passionate about sailing on you tube. i dont know your sailing history or if you started out in small boats, but they are so much more responsive and fun to sail. might i suggest a star boat, designed in 1910 and an olympic class boat till, i think 2013. they were built of wood till around 1963. look for an old lowell north wooden boat and restore it. i think you would get a kick out of sailing a star boat. good luck on you new adventure and i sure did enjoy the series on the cal 40 also one of my favorite boats. a manager of lyman morris here in camden maine had one called towee that was in perfect shape and i told him about your series but it was only a yell across the water and i never ran into him again.

Boat manufacturers(no longer applicable in this case) and marine engine manufacturers love this stuff. Bigger motor = bigger profit for them. What no one talks about, if they even know, is that most sailboats when under power are performing as a displacement hull. To transmit the power available from the engine to the boat effectively is to use what is available efficiently. This requires a large diameter prop turning slowly. Prop shafts should never exceed 1,000 RPM. This means with most modern, lightweight industrial type engines used in marine applications those engines are designed to run at about 80% of maximum RPM for the normal life span of the engine. Many of these engines are designed to turn at a maximum of around 3,600 RPM. So 80% X 3,600 = 2,900 RPM. This requires a reduction ratio of 3:1 and that is something you will never see on any modern production sailboat. A 50HP engine is in effect delivering 150HP to the prop when put through a 3:1 reduction gear. Total nonsense and entirely unneeded. In the case of a Cal40 at 15,000lbs displacement a 30HP engine run through a 3:1 reduction gear should be able to turn an 18"diameter X 14"pitch three bladed prop easily. This should easily deliver a 5knot cruise speed very economically, a 6knot cruise speed somewhat economically and the power to push the boat at just about hull speed and against pretty significant wind and seas. More power does nothing against water current. Remember boat propellers on displacement hulls do not have any form of AI. All they can tell you is that if you want me to revolve at this speed, you must provide me with this much power. Generally speaking power comes from prop diameter, speed comes from prop pitch. Check out Skene's Elements of Yacht Design for the basic calculations.

Thank you for that. Up here in the Northeast there are mill buildings that have been restored and a few have their original plants displayed. These massive engines only put out 10 or so horsepower. This is a poor analog, I know , but marine literature is loaded with descriptions of famous auxiliaries with small engines. So, in short, it’s not what you’ve got, it’s how you use it.
