Fogg 427 Posted May 15, 2012 Share Posted May 15, 2012 Wonder how that would go against an Electron? Link to post Share on other sites
rbob 0 Posted May 15, 2012 Share Posted May 15, 2012 Electron should be quicker I would think. The Electron hull shape is quite different and doesn't have a skeg so should turn faster. The T32 model also has an overlapping headsail which makes it a bit harder to sail but may give it better upwind speed. Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Posted May 15, 2012 Share Posted May 15, 2012 That T32 is very cool can you get a kit for that or did you just build it from scratch? I,m refitting an Old Marblehead now and are wondering what sort of winch I need to pull in the quite large sail area the mast is two metres tall I bought all the rig off Isobar yachts. I,ve heard you can convert some of the cordless Screwdrivers to do the job on the winch anyone know anything about RC winches? Link to post Share on other sites
SloopJohnB 322 Posted May 15, 2012 Share Posted May 15, 2012 Normally use these winches in IOM and Mableheads. www.rmgsailwinch.com.au (39 to go to thye big one ) Link to post Share on other sites
rbob 0 Posted May 16, 2012 Share Posted May 16, 2012 That T32 is very cool can you get a kit for that or did you just build it from scratch? Built from scratch by my brother. Based on the Twilight plans and some measurements off my boat (Takahoa) He is building a 2nd one for me so we can have a bit of friendly sibling match racing. Link to post Share on other sites
