Guest Posted March 13, 2013 Share Posted March 13, 2013 Now the pictures are up I'm knot to sure what to make of it but I do like the thinking. Link to post Share on other sites
Deep Purple 512 Posted March 13, 2013 Share Posted March 13, 2013 How cool I'd be very interested to see the underwater shape and know the keel/ballast details. Looks the opposite of Silver Bullet in that it has catamaran bows and monohull stern. And is it a testbed for something bigger? Link to post Share on other sites
Clipper 343 Posted March 13, 2013 Share Posted March 13, 2013 i've sailed on something that appeared to have a similar concept (maybe?) in perth a few years ago. It was not as nicely executed, but had a cat type bow blending into a mono stern. There was a detailed article on it in the aussie sailing mag, would have been about 2005/2006? Went OK for what it was, especially upwind. Link to post Share on other sites
Huey 7 Posted March 13, 2013 Share Posted March 13, 2013 YEHAH!!! Well done just saw the BLUR SE site. TACK HAMMER has just gone half way round the world! A very pretty looking sheer ,bow and stern ; everything looks right so there fore your on a winner. Link to post Share on other sites
Tiller 2 Posted March 15, 2013 Author Share Posted March 15, 2013 just putting twin rudders on her. when going to windward we sail with a bit of heel and center rudder lifts out so have to ease main a little boat still tracks straight just helm goes lighter than normal.Shes a work in progress, normal for me.

Tiller 2 Posted April 12, 2013 Author Share Posted April 12, 2013 sailed a couple of weeks ago in Bucks rum race with my boy to try out twin rudders, not sure? seem a little dragy. any ideas? Not much breeze for us to get going at the start but increased on the flat off for a good beat to southern leading. My boy pulled the jib hallard cleat off the mast in the beginning of the beat then smashed port dagger board just before finish on reach in. Busy making stronger daggers and probably go back to central rudder. Link to post Share on other sites
203 0 Posted April 12, 2013 Share Posted April 12, 2013 just make the center rudder longer, by about 500mm i reckon Link to post Share on other sites
Absolution 7 Posted April 13, 2013 Share Posted April 13, 2013 How about twin rudders but make them lifting so that you can pull the windward one up in the light? Link to post Share on other sites
bushman 12 Posted April 23, 2013 Share Posted April 23, 2013 How much lead ? is down stairs , it,s about time the scows made a return Link to post Share on other sites
Tiller 2 Posted April 24, 2013 Author Share Posted April 24, 2013 cant say but a man and boy could lift it. Going back to central rudder maybe later make it lifting. Its a long haul up the coast. Link to post Share on other sites
