Great to hear about your encounters with Matt and the Paradox! What would be the biggest voyage or passage you would undertake in a paradox? I am still getting to know mine better and better after 3 years. Your videos I enjoy very much! Keep on going :)
The chine runners are a less extreme way of doing without a retractable leeway preventer of some kind. And even this statement is not entirely correct. This is because this system relies on the rudder to provide much of the lift to windward. And this idea is about as old as the hills. It has been used on some Chinese junks and also on a British fishing boat known as a "coble". The purpose of the chine runners is to make it possible to reduce the size of the rudder. I have thought of doing away with the dagger board on my small scow, which has deep sides. But for this to work, I'd have to move the mast aft by about 23 inches. And this will work only if I got my math right. I may still do it, someday.
The Coble is an unusual design, it is made to go backwards! They are beach launched and land stern first. Hence the highly raked transom and very deep forefoot, which acts like a fin. The deep forefoot will assist upwind
Sven could you also comment on Matt Layden's unique boom roller reefing system? Do you think its good for ocean/ blue water sailing? thanks! ive attended a few Everglades Challenges here in St Petersburg florida, Matt's designs are amazing.
I think Matts sail will work fine for the ocean. Only thing the preventer have to be at the end of the boom. I prefer The balanced lugsail. It needs no boom vang or kicking strap also no worry about gibes
@@SvenYrvindExlex thank you so much. i live on her now in strijansas in south holand in holand dipe, i would like to go back to portugal as soon az posible but i think i need to wait.i plan to build a 6 meter boat flat bottom scow bow with ,self righting ability, build with foam sandwich in portugal. your informations are very valuable and we(i ans my wife) hope to sea you in the sea sailing again.
This is the time I was looking at Matts boats that I ran across you and your boats and I've been watching you ever since..another Great video thanks..
Really interesting designs by Matt. The interior storage and sleeping space is really coming together well.
You are a true artisan and adventurer..
I am amazed at how many locks are on that door😳
There are hurricanes in Florida.
You look just as sharp in 97 as you do now. I also note you're still using the same belt! Don't change good things :)
❤❤ Love all this History ❤❤

The coble do have a deep rudder but no horisontal fins.
The rudder gives lateral resistance but not mostly if so the boat would have a lot of lee helm

The West Mersea Duck Punt sails to windward with neither keel, rudder, nor chine runners. It just has to be heeled so the chine acts as a keel.

is it okay to sail from english channel to azores in winter on dufour 2800 it is my sail boat in holand.
It is better in summer.
I would do it in my boat but I am not familiar with Dufour 2800

4 dead bolts on the front door and paper covering the window?! Does he have extra hinges too? LOL
I was wondering if they were in a rough neighborhood or something.
It is for preventing hurricanes for entering.
They have hurricanes in Florida
@@SvenYrvindExlex Interesting. I lived in Florida most my life and I have never seen that before.
@@markgallagher1376 Even the windows are hurricane proof
