@@tigersharkboatworks Its nice to just set off and if needed pick up crew - visitors when and if you want. 👍👍 Looking forwards to see the mast stepped.
My only comment is to go through all your sails and make sure the thread and fabric are still in good shape. Sail materials do break down over time, even when just sitting in a sail bag.
I made a little miscalculation in how long it would take to build the dinghy, but next sunday I'll upload the complete build, after the summerholidays I'm hoping to go back to the regular schedule of a video every 2 weeks
it looks good. there are no rules for this, only the boat is in balance. many schooners have forked sails in the middle and bermuda at the back, to get the sail area forward. then your sail will probably be excellent. sailing with three headsails is a challenge in a downwind, but maybe you have a gennaker lying around for light winds. with best regards Magne
Thank you! Good point on the downwind sailing, we have 2 genoas of 90m² that we can hoist. Those in combination with a whiskerboom on each side gives quite some downwind area :)
How about a self tacking jib at 135 or 150 size. I noticed that the previous mast was not beveled for a serious weld ? Perhaps a steel collar for additional strength ? The boat is shaping up nicely, the right sailplane will make her look good as well.
We will have a self tacking fore staysail, but the inner and outer jib both have to pass a stay to move to the other side, making it impossible to use a traveler to make them self tacking. That's why we have the tacking winch with one handle for 4 sheetdrums. The new bottom mast is larger in diameter than the old one, so there's about 4 inches overlap, and a nice 12mm ridge for the weld(s). No need for a bevel or a collar :)
Thanks! The closest thing I have to an interior layout I've used in the video about the plans for the rebuild: ruclips.net/video/gpBusohBdpM/видео.html start around 3:45 :)
I would go for the sailplan of the 40ft "Bylgia" of Eilco Kasemier, designed by Dick Koopmans sr. It consist of a Topsail with a wisbone on the for mast and a staysail on the main mast.
The Bylgia is a Ketch, which makes that sailplan more logical, because it completely fills the space between the masts. For a schooner like ours, it makes a little bit less sense, as the top of the staysail can not be near the top of the main mast, because the stay would then interfere with the wishbone somewhere in the middle :)
We've thought about this, and we're not sure. The thing with going for more traditional sails is that they generally need more people to handle them. Which in turn makes it more difficult to go sailing whenever we want to. But we might still change our minds :)
Depends on what you call "traditional". Wishbone ketch and schooners have been around since the 1930s (see schooner Carrina). Not really ancient but at least almost centennial. Wishbone hasn't been invented for windsurfing!
@@joeldumas5861 I've looked at Carrina, "Launched as a gaff-rigged top/staysail schooner", here you go. Traditional means there's no tradition to put this type of rigging on these boats. It doesn't mean it's bad and nobody did this though. Tigershark should decide what's best for them.
Great project! She is a work dog, soon to be ready to run. Bring her to Homer Alaska and have some fun.
Thanks! We just might :)
She had a lot of sail area for two crew. Splitting the 2 up front into 3 looks very workable. great update 2x👍
She did, and still does. Most of the time there's more folks on board though, but it's nice to have the option to sail her with only 2 :)

You are really good at explaining stuff!
Kind words, thank you!

Thanks, we'll do a thorough inspection :)
More regular updates would be great if you can find the time.

Great idea more smaller sails more versatility.
Nice surfboard rack ✨⛵️🏄🏼

@@tigersharkboatworks you folks know what your doing, I know Tigershark will end up looking very good. Do you have interior layouts ?

Is this vessel a N A Thomas Colvin design?
Dad did the designwork himself, inspired by other ships that heb thought were beautifull
gotta rig a Gollywobbler up there for style points!
HOIST THE BLOODY GOLLYWOBBLER
@@tigersharkboatworks mu buddy has a cheoy lee schooner rig- i love it when we can get that little sail up.
Well, lets see if we can dig up one somewhere :)
But wishbone is not traditional for such a boat. Are you okay with that?
