MarkMT 68 Posted August 17, 2016 Share Posted August 17, 2016 "the glass over foam construction makes her one of the heavier yachts in the GBE fleet" How so? I thought the point of composite construction was to lower weight Quote Link to post Share on other sites
B00B00 310 Posted August 17, 2016 Share Posted August 17, 2016 My one was solid glass and was VERY heavy compared to the foam glass ones that were measured at the same time. Around 150-200KG difference which was 15-20% I think the foam glass was also a lot stiffer. It would be a great buy for that price! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
erice 732 Posted August 17, 2016 Author Share Posted August 17, 2016 having a dacron main may mean it still has the standard?, 'safer for cruising', pinhead mainsail instead of the, 'must have 1 hull out to race', fat-head mains of the race boats certainly great value!

Clipper 343 Posted August 28, 2016 Share Posted August 28, 2016 Awesome. She will be fun Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Ed 143 Posted August 29, 2016 Share Posted August 29, 2016 What's wrong with the main? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Dambo 44 Posted August 29, 2016 Share Posted August 29, 2016 What's wrong with the main? Cheers all Does she still count as an 8.5? I mean, she's put on a wee bit of... length The main is... tired, dacron, pin top. I'd like something a little better. But the first thing (once I've done the next SSANZ and I get back from Fiji) will be anti-foul, followed by replacing the forward beam, add some nav lights (I like sailing at night) and start replacing cordage, the traveller is looking a bit scary in one place... almost as bad as Sundreamers The tramps are top-notch, the boards are awesome, the OB is good. The #2 and the gennaker are excellent. I'm happy. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
