Marshy 30 Posted May 29, 2011 Share Posted May 29, 2011 Marshy, were you guys running any boards down wind? Seems you guys could haul us in pretty quickly downhill, although you are bigger with a sh#t load more HP I guess. Yeah i think a sh*t load of power, more sail area in the main and probably the same size if not slightly bigger chute. With probably the same wetted surface (Hulls arent that much different). And its pretty timid downhill so you can keep the foot to the floor. Man that last run of the last race was awesome! If we didnt have a stuck winch on the gennaker sheet we mighta got ya but you were smoking maddock! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
TimW 1 Posted May 29, 2011 Share Posted May 29, 2011 We had a terrific day on Saturday. The changes have completely transformed Timberwolf. Great acceleration, no nosediving tendency at all, much higher top speed, and very light on the helm and well balanced. We are all just so stoked with it all ! Thank you very much to all of the guys who have helped us get Timberwolf sailing again. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

TimW 1 Posted June 5, 2011 Share Posted June 5, 2011 Last items to paint today. Tiller link bar was substantially reinforced to reduce flex and repainted. The foreground is the VHF and GPS aerial mounting bracket. The Instrument bracket for two Nexus displays has to rotate. The Boom inboard end needed some additional clearance to prevent it hitting the Gooseneck when the Boom End is raised. Boom is topcoated but no real effort to Fair the boom in order to save weight. The Boom is very stiff compared to the old one but still only weighs 12 kg. Next weekend we should have everything ready including the Canting Rig (we had to lock it in the middle in the last three races). Yay, no more painting ! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
