Ex Machina 384 Posted May 22, 2020 Share Posted May 22, 2020 They look just as good on the road as they do on the water Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Deep Purple 520 Posted May 23, 2020 Share Posted May 23, 2020 Is that the new sail? First sail today once we got it all sorted. Sadly too rough out but we had a nice little sail up the river. She feels good Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Ex Machina 384 Posted May 23, 2020 Share Posted May 23, 2020 Is that the new sail? yeah new main it’s seems pretty good . didn’t really Focus that much on it we were really happy just to be out there . It is way nicer to trim we just need to find where the gears are and play around with the twist etc . good to see your boat in the water ! Rig is quite different to ours , shorter but much bigger headsail Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Cameron 93 Posted May 30, 2020 Share Posted May 30, 2020 Probably a deceptive image... but the rig almost looks forward of vertical... certainly very little if any rake. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Deep Purple 520 Posted May 30, 2020 Share Posted May 30, 2020 I set it up right yesterday. Hired a cherry picker so I could get all over the rig with a tension gauge to get the stays right. They were so out of whack. The mast was plumb but I raked to 2 degrees to Robs figures. The mast steps forward so the side stays have to be off to drop it. But the forestry was disconnected and no marks. The centreboard is directly behind the mast so doesn’t carry much rake, 2 degree now. Ive installed a compass and depth sounder, added a 2:1 fine tune to the 2:1 jib sheets. Re-routed control lines and today made up the first of 2 carbon pipe berths.

Deep Purple 520 Posted June 6, 2020 Share Posted June 6, 2020 First real sail today and really happy. Genny out into the bay and played around for a while on all points of sail with a reef. Top over 13 knots 2-sail reaching with the reef. 17.5 with the masthead genny 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Deep Purple 520 Posted June 9, 2020 Share Posted June 9, 2020 In other news ... DP came with a multi-display but speed only. I fitted a depth transducer the other day and it reads perfectly...........................The distance between the hull and the top of the keel bulb - doh. Evidently I'm not the first Quote Link to post Share on other sites
ex Elly 221 Posted June 9, 2020 Share Posted June 9, 2020 Yep our depth works, but is permanently 2.3m Quote Link to post Share on other sites
