DrWatson 331 Posted February 22, 2019 Author Share Posted February 22, 2019 looking more and more complete... She's now in the fitting workshop, where all the go-slow weight will be added... Quote Link to post Share on other sites
muzled 140 Posted February 22, 2019 Share Posted February 22, 2019 Exciting! How long until she is complete? You seem to be getting in to check progress reasonably often or are they sending you photo's? Have you gone down the name path yet? I can only assume it's like choosing a name for your firstborn...

DrWatson 331 Posted February 22, 2019 Author Share Posted February 22, 2019 Coralie is sending photos; Fridays are cool Tentative splash date end April, early May. We won't be able to get there until May 20th, though. Name was chosen 5 years ago... Boat was changed but the name stayed the same. Name is now also reserved on the register I think it was easier to name our firstborn, actually. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

DrWatson 331 Posted March 14, 2019 Author Share Posted March 14, 2019 Updates! Just some internal photos of the start of fit-out. Can see either side of the centre in the forward cabin under the berths are the flotation foam spaces. Water tank to go in the centre there. Motor is in! Beam shelf visible in the aft cabin is actually a shelf in this boat Aaaaand another shot of her from behind, because that's what you'll all be seeing... lol 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

muzled 140 Posted April 12, 2019 Share Posted April 12, 2019 Exciting day! And the fun hasn't even started yet, congrats! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
DrWatson 331 Posted April 12, 2019 Author Share Posted April 12, 2019 Still have to wait until May 20. That's the first chance we have to get a little time off to go for a sail! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
AJ Oliver 154 Posted April 13, 2019 Share Posted April 13, 2019 In the real light stuff, I wonder if she might be faster with the board up . . off the wind only, of course (as pictured above) Quote Link to post Share on other sites
DrWatson 331 Posted April 13, 2019 Author Share Posted April 13, 2019 In the real light stuff, I wonder if she might be faster with the board up . . off the wind only, of course (as pictured above) In that orientation it’s quite an ugly shape from a hydrodynamic perspective. Also, the centre of gravity is shifted aft by prob a good 2m, hauling that fat bum down increasing drag. So I think it unlikely that’s it might be quicker. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Island Time 1,108 Posted April 13, 2019 Share Posted April 13, 2019 awesome Doc ! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
B00B00 290 Posted April 13, 2019 Share Posted April 13, 2019 The pogo 1250 We cruised and raced with across the the Caribbean was quite a bit faster motoring with the keel down. The profile shape is horrible when the board is up and as mentioned before it really shifts the weight aft and drags the ass bigtime. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
AJ Oliver 154 Posted April 13, 2019 Share Posted April 13, 2019 Thanks for the informed replies . . We pull the board (partly or mostly) up off the wind on these boats, but they have dagger boards - move straight up and down. (sorry for blown out sails) Quote Link to post Share on other sites
