Great sailing Bruce and Thelma

Looks great, nice work

.....am thinking - perhaps - maybe - get in the water (see if i can diagnose while I'm there) insert an M6 bolt with an eye on each side through the rudder. Use those eye's to attach straps so i can...

Nice work, looks good.
What is the trick to glass taping/ coving/ filleting / fairing/ sanding a 3 way internal corner. Mine usually show thru in the final paint finish.

Was it Roger Taylor of 'Roc' and 'Ming Ming'

Nice wholesome cruising yacht. Unusual for these to have wheel steering

Roiaata, the Sea Spray -August 1968 picture

81320

Have you got the Sea Spray magazine photo of the Roiaata crew about to depart Auckland for the Pacific.
IIRC it shows Roiaata's doghouse with brass rods protecting the windows.

Sorry to hear the gear was not working. Is the linkage as per Fay Marine drawing.

Are you sure the vane was oriented correctly . i.e did you try it with the vane turned 180 degrees ?

Try...

Gary, the cartopper will be great with a junk rig The profile has similarities to Hasler's 'Hum' in PJR

Nice work on the linkage.
Aim for the interface position with the trim tab tiller to be about 80% of the distance of the trim tab axis and the rudder axis, this should give feedback and smoother...

An early wooden 12m was 'Gleam' . Great name for a yacht.

Looks like the gear shift and throttle brackets are set up for Teleflex/Morse type 33c cables.
Clones of these cables are readily available in half meter increments.

If you put the 6 on top of the 9 you could end up with a bent zepplin

Tom, great work , a real transformation, just as Wilf O'Kell would have invisaged.

A Finisterre clone ?

I used a similar method to Rick. The tray sits on the keelson/ stringers . Chopped mat over a cardboard and packing tape...

Good work with the fiberglass stern tube.
No need for a keyway if you go with a Polyflex 434TC steel half coupling and a 434 flexible disc. Make sure you leave some clearance (say 6mm ) between the...

Rick,thats good news.
Some recommended reading from my lockdown, several of these have an antipodean flavour:

''Under False Flags-Disguised German Raiders of WW2'' -Stephen Robinson
"Erebus-...

Gain clearance by replacing the timber floor with a cast bronze floor

Looks like GRP construction -gravel,rocks & pebbles

Gary , Nice photo , how are the 2 junk fore sails sheeted in so tight ?. There doesn't seem to be much room between the luffs and fore masts for spans and sheets.
The mizzen looks to have one panel...

These are a quality classic bronze Kiwi designed hinge , been around for many years, the spring loaded captive pin enables them to be separated. They are left and right handed , so sold as a pair.
...

Rick, nice GRP work.
Are you planning to use a pair of these the separating hinges on one side of the cover ...

Bruce , is the shaft wear at the point where the lip seals touch the shaft ? This doesn't answer your monel question, but have you tried replacing the s/s? spring gaiter with an 'o' ring on the lip...

Crossing the Pacific Joe Adams got tired of the clunking noise from Hoana's centerboard , so he knocked the pin out and let the board sink to the bottom of the ocean !!

Is that the same 'Hoana' that yacht designer Joe Adams sailed around the world ?

Bruce,

Are you finding the German (Hanse) burners last longer than the Optimus burners? I have one of each in my stove . For the last few years i have been using Jet A1 which supposedly is more...

Tom, the snap shackle is clipped onto the headsail sheet ( just as you do with a parrot beak) and the other end clipped to the mast ring. The topping lift bridle/span has a ss ring clove hitched in...

I have retired my spinnaker pole . Now I only goose-wing the headsail with an old recycled 4m carbon windsurfer mast . No flat jaws or parrot-beaks , just a snap shackle at each end and a bridle for...

Thanks for posting a photo of Tui of Opua under sail. It was a privilege to be shown down below at the Hobart WBF . A superbly built yacht and very nice owners too.

Tom, take a look at Fineline NZ double braid polyester , they make a colour called 'Traditional' . A light tan colour, with a choice of flecks . Popular with the classic yachts here

Very nice. Could it be the mystery Kiwi Concordia

Gary,

Nice work on the tiller and counter top.
I reckon that Cartopper with low angled yard and some cambered panels will be just the thing for the river. So easy to sail and efficient too.
I...

Good sailing and may all the wind come from your behind

Some good photos of interiors as well as lines drawings for many of the designs. A quality publication.

Rick, at the WBF the owners / builders showed me over the 'Lucy' and gave me a cd of the build. I have since bought a copy of the Ed Burnett book ,so much talent.

#48323 - The Tasmanian built / Ed Burnett designed double ended cutter 'Lucy' is perfection !

Looks like a keel-less thunderbird

Looks good Tom. A crane or bolster to give clearance for the throat block attachment . Don't skimp on the drift between the attachment position and the throat stirrup at full hoist. Perhaps a spot of...

Phil, on my mainsheet traveller track I cleaned the corroded areas around each bolt hole with one of those scotchbrite disks that fit on an angle grinder, then a thin coat of 2 part Altex etch...

That cleat needs a lanyard

Hallam, great video and sound track. Is the double ended ketch the 'Kelvin' , if so its a long way from home ?

Looks like John B is having South Minerva lobster for dinner

Tom, the throat block doesn't need to swivel, this stops the halyard from twisting. Similarly with the peak span blocks .
I like the look of tufnol too !
What sort of saddle/ tumbler have you got...

Peter was a top bloke and an inspiration to us all. Condolences to his family.

Don't let that reefing handle slip over board. If it does, you will find a solution in ''A world of my own '' by RKJ .

Is that Rick's friends yacht from Nelson . A Grahame Shannon design from Waterline Yachts US ?
