    Nice boat for sure. I have an offer topic question...why do so many boats have their standing rigging go to the middle of the side decks? Any designer must know that will be a hazard, right? Bring them in or bring them out. But right where you are expected to walk seems to be a really poor design. Am I missing something?

    • @boatfools
      @boatfools 6 часов назад

    • @milanmarinkovic3016
      @milanmarinkovic3016 5 часов назад

      It is a compromise. (Like just about anything else in the boat design). If you bring it out, you can't sheet in genoa hard enough to sail it really hard to windword. If you bring it in, aangle between mast and inner shrouds is to small=shrouds are more busy trying to push the mast trough the deck / keel, then preventing mast to bend sideways.

    • @Greatlakessailing

    • @boatfools
      @boatfools 5 дней назад

      Hello! Actually, this boat was manufactured with two options for keel configuration. You could get one with a 3’11” shoal draft, or a deeper 5’ draft - but not both. On a boat that has a centerboard, like a Tartan 37 for example, the board can be raised and lowered as needed, doing exactly what you described, help with stability and help with better upwind performance. Hope this helps!

      What could be hidden in a sandy ballast? Drugs going in and cash going out?

    I love how you 2 show real boats that normal people could afford. Too many 50ft youtube sailboat channels out there. Thx!

      Thank you. Yes, agreed, so many great, reasonably affordable boats out there with a lot of sailing left in them. Appreciate your comment & thank you for watching!

    The words perfect boat is an oxymoron, since every boat is a combination of compromises. My first boat was a power boat, but zooming around inland waters eventually wore out the novelty. My next boat was a 30ft fixed keel yacht, with head, separate bedroom etc... But was expensive and had to be moored 2hour drive from my home, eventually been there did that. Being older I decided to down size to a trailable yacht, thinking 25ft might be a good size, but measuring my parking I could only store a 18ft boat and trailer... I then realised my vehical towing ability limited weight... I then realised raising a mast is normally a two person job once the mast gets to big... in the end a 18ft drop keel was my compromise.... I can call it perfect because it is a perfect fit for me!
