GEMINI 3000: A VERY AFFORDABLE CRUISING CAT GEMINI 3000: A Very Affordable Cruising Cat. The Gemini, the first production cruising catamaran ever built in the United States, was born from the ashes of a terrible fire that in 1981 destroyed the molds for the successful Telstar 26 folding trimaran that multihull enthusiast Tony Smith had just brought over from Great Britain.

I’ve seen this one coming for some months now, and it does not mitigate the loss.

FIBERGLASS BOATBUILDING: HULL-DECK JOINTS An acceptable alternative is to glass over a bedded joint with fiberglass tape so that the hull and deck effectively become one part. The most bulletproof method is do all three: bed the joint, through-bolt it, then glass it over. Prepping an inward hull flange prior to installing a deck. The surface is roughed up so the adhesivesealant will

DUTCH BARGE RACING: DEMOLITION SAILING Check out these video clips of traditional Dutch barges, called skutsjes, which were originally used for hauling cargo in Friesland and are still actively raced today.

FIBERGLASS BOATBUILDING: INTERNAL HULL STRUCTURES The traditional procedure, however, is to bond, or tab, internal components in place with strips of fiberglass tape after the hull has been molded. These secondary adhesive bonds are weaker than primary chemical bonds. To create a superior secondary bond the surfaces involved must be properly prepared. In many cases the component beingtabbed
FIBERGLASS BOATBUILDING: RESINS AND LAMINATING TECHNIQUES A vinylester resin, by comparison, can elongate up to 5 percent of its length before fracturing and has a tensile strength of about 11,800 pounds per square inch. This makes vinylester the resin of choice when laminating with more sophisticated fabrics. Vinylester is also much more water resistant than both ortho- and iso-polyester resins, thus CRUNCHING NUMBERS: HULL SPEED & BOAT LENGTH As a very general rule the maximum speed of any displacement hull–commonly called its hull speed–is governed by a simple formula: hull speed in knots equals 1.34 times the square root of the waterline length in feet (HS = 1.34 x √LWL). Thus, for example, if you have a 35-foot boat with a waterline length of 28 feet, its hullspeed works

In fact, I’ve never seen one listed, until now. I met Steve and Tracy, owners of RC Louise, a Boreal 44, through a series of coincidences last summer and managed to lure them to my home in Portsmouth by shooting them an e-mail as they were sailing down the coast from WOOD BOAT CONSTRUCTION: PRACTICAL AND TRADITIONAL Traditionally, the deck consists of planking fastened to the deck beams with all seams, again, carefully caulked. Another common way to seal decks, often used on yachts, is to cover the planking with painted canvas. These days, however, many wood decks are simply good-quality marine plywood sealed with epoxy. RETRIEVING LOST HALYARDS: A CHEAP TRICK THAT WORKS Given this, retrieving the lost halyard should be easy. Step 1: Take a loose length of line that is long enough to reach the lost halyard from the deck and tie a noose in it with a slip knot, so that you can pull the noose shut. Step 2: Clip the noose line with noose open into the shackle at the end of your spare halyard, as shown in the detail FIBERGLASS BOATBUILDING: INTERNAL HULL STRUCTURES The traditional procedure, however, is to bond, or tab, internal components in place with strips of fiberglass tape after the hull has been molded. These secondary adhesive bonds are weaker than primary chemical bonds. To create a superior secondary bond the surfaces involved must be properly prepared. In many cases the component beingtabbed
FIBERGLASS BOATBUILDING: HULL-DECK JOINTS An acceptable alternative is to glass over a bedded joint with fiberglass tape so that the hull and deck effectively become one part. The most bulletproof method is do all three: bed the joint, through-bolt it, then glass it over. Prepping an inward hull flange prior to installing a deck. The surface is roughed up so the adhesivesealant will
SABRE 28: A SOLID POCKET CRUISER SABRE 28: A Solid Pocket Cruiser. This stylish little pocket yacht is both the first and smallest boat ever produced by Sabre Yachts, a quality production boatbuilder based in southern Maine. Designed by the company’s founder, Roger Hewson, and introduced in 1971, the Sabre 28 was the only boat produced by Sabre until 1977. NOR’SEA 27: A TRAILERABLE OFFSHORE CRUISER Nor’Sea 27: A Trailerable Offshore Cruiser. Legend has it the idea for this unique pocket cruiser was born round a campfire in Baja California in the early 1970s as two brothers, Dean and Stan Wixom, speculated on alternative modes of exploring Baja and the Sea of Cortez. They were on motorcycles, had tired of the dusty ride, andthought a
FIBERGLASS BOATBUILDING: RESINS AND LAMINATING TECHNIQUES A vinylester resin, by comparison, can elongate up to 5 percent of its length before fracturing and has a tensile strength of about 11,800 pounds per square inch. This makes vinylester the resin of choice when laminating with more sophisticated fabrics. Vinylester is also much more water resistant than both ortho- and iso-polyester resins, thus CRUNCHING NUMBERS: HULL SPEED & BOAT LENGTH As a very general rule the maximum speed of any displacement hull–commonly called its hull speed–is governed by a simple formula: hull speed in knots equals 1.34 times the square root of the waterline length in feet (HS = 1.34 x √LWL). Thus, for example, if you have a 35-foot boat with a waterline length of 28 feet, its hullspeed works
FIBERGLASS BOATBUILDING: RUDDER CONSTRUCTION Since the late 1960s, almost all fiberglass boats have been built with fiberglass rudders. Not all glass rudders are created equal, but most are built on the same basic principle. Most commonly, the spine of the structure is a metal rudderstock (also sometimes called a rudderpost) off of which sprouts a lateral armature that supports the rudder TANIA AEBI'S VARUNA: ABANDONED AND UP FOR GRABS IN THE The last passage of Tania’s epic adventure was non-stop from Gibraltar to New York, more than 3,000 miles, in the fall of 1987 and took 52 days. A challenge, to say the least. For a while she lost comms capability and, per a sensational headline in the New York Post, was presumed to be lost at sea. This time Varuna truly is lost.

CRUISING SAILBOAT RIGS: KETCHES, YAWLS, AND I like to use the term "split rig" to refer to any sailplan on a boat where sail area is divided between two (or more) masts, rather than crowded all on to one mast, as with a sloop or cutter. On ketches and yawls, as I'm sure you know, the taller mainmast is forward and the shorter mizzenmast is aft.

Now we’ll consider how a simple fiberglass boat hull can be reinforced and strengthened by the structural elements within it. GULFSTAR 50: AN AFFORDABLE BIG BOAT Gulfstar Yachts was founded in 1970 by Vince Lazzara, an industry pioneer who in the early 1950s helped make a success of Aeromarine, one of the very first fiberglass boatbuilders. In the early 1960s he did the same at Columbia Yachts, which became the world’s biggest sailboat builder in its day. Early on Gulfstar emphasized low price and maximum interior space over build quality and sailing FIBERGLASS BOATBUILDING: RESINS AND LAMINATING TECHNIQUES In the last installment of our continuing exploration of how fiberglass sailboats get built we looked at the different types of fabric that can be used to create a laminate. As mentioned in our first episode, however, any fiberglass laminate is in fact a composite material (just like papier-mâché), consisting both of glass fabric, which provides structural strength, and plastic resin, which CRUNCHING NUMBERS: HULL SPEED & BOAT LENGTH I agree with those lines that the boat’s hull speed is not necessarily its actual maximum potential speed. There are still many other things to consider,and one of them is the boat length itself, the persons skills driving capability, the boat accessories and many other thingsMore on this things you can follow this link,and see the many aspect about boat Boat Tops SAILS & RIGGING: JUNK RIGS FOR CRUISERS I HAVE ALWAYS been very attracted to junk rigs, first, I suppose, because they seem so very strange and archaic. As one early Western proponent, a British cruiser named Brian Platt, who sailed from Hong Kong to California under junk rig in the late 1950s, once wrote: “Nobody could have designed the Chinese Sail, if only for fear ofbeing laughed at.
SALVAGE LAW: DO YOU GET TO KEEP AN ABANDONED BOAT? I’ve been posting a bit lately about abandoned boats, and my SAILfeed colleague Clark Beek has rightly pointed out that it is high time I bloviated on the subject of salvage rights. Many people believe that if you find an abandoned boat it automatically belongs to you, and yes, I intentionally played into and exploited that popular misconception in the title of my first post on Wolfhound__
