shannon 0 Posted October 12, 2018 Share Posted October 12, 2018 Hi, I am hoping to get the factory measurement of the base of the mast to the bow of a Noelex 22? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Ex Machina 365 Posted October 13, 2018 Share Posted October 13, 2018 Got two or three factory 22's in our compound I will run the tape over them tomorrow and get back to you Quote Link to post Share on other sites
madyottie 82 Posted October 13, 2018 Share Posted October 13, 2018 I'm not sure what has happenned to the class association, I know there's still a few racing in Auckland. There were at least three "factory" builders, Marten Marine built the ones that look like a smaller N25, to my eye the prettiest ones. Noelex Marine and Elder Boats were also very prominent. There may be discrepancies among the mast positions between the builders, the Marten boats had a swing centreboard, while the Noelex boats had a daggerboard. Pretty sure the Elder boats were daggerboard as well. The marten boats had a brace from the top of the centrecase/table to the mast base, if you have one of these, that's where the mast needs to go. Sorry I can't be more help, it's been 20 years since I sold mine. If I could, I'd buy her back. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Ex Machina 365 Posted October 14, 2018 Share Posted October 14, 2018 Ok I measured 4 boats Two of them were 2300mm And two were 2330mm Measured from front of aluminium tabernacle to bow proper , not to end of bow roller . All were factory boats , one very old with the odd looking deck that slopes straight up from the bow that boat and the newest boat were 2330 , the other two that looked exactly the same were 2300.

Zachary 2 Posted October 14, 2018 Share Posted October 14, 2018 Mine is one of the newer Noelex Industries boats. Measures 2290mm from the bow. Like all N22's there will be discrepancies. I'll try and dig out a copy of the class rules to see what the tolerances are. On a separate note, does anyone know what happened to the N22 Association? 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
madyottie 82 Posted October 17, 2018 Share Posted October 17, 2018 I'll do some asking next weekend when the fleet is at Manukau, surely someone there will have up to date assn info. A friend has just bought one if the modified Marten boats, which has a reasonable racing heritage. He's asked me to sail with him then. I'm wondering whether I should buy another one, they still have seriously hot racing there Quote Link to post Share on other sites
shannon 0 Posted October 24, 2018 Author Share Posted October 24, 2018 Awesome thanks a lot I really appreciate your help there! Should the mast base be directly over the compression post? Is it uncommon for it to be half on or not at all but very close to it? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
shannon 0 Posted October 30, 2018 Author Share Posted October 30, 2018 Thanks a lot for the help guys mast base is not far away from those measurement. The mast base is sitting about half on the compression post in the cabin should this be sitting directly on top or closer than half on at least? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
