Shawn,

I dont mean it is not indiviually planked as such, Scotfree seats are the the same i.e. they dont match. But they have been individually made up and laid as a one on the locker.

Carl --

If I were in your shoes, I would like to know who did the engineering of the bulb and what the relative weight of the bulb and density of the bulb are compared to the original shoe. I would be concerned that if the weight or density is greater, the keel attachment structure might get overstressed, and if either is less, the boat might be too tender.

I keep telling my wife that what we really need is a hydraulic canting keel a la the Volvo 70's. Yeah.

Fowey Regatta Week

Anyone coming to Fowey Regatta Week

Fowey is our home port and if we have enough boats I am confident we can persuade POFROC to have a Sigma 41 class. The week is a great event, happy to sponsor some prizes (bottle of whiskey and maybe we could then discuss in more detail the forming of a class association and niggles and problems and we overcame them.

Could even have a prize for who sailed the furthest to get there.

It is usually great racing although last year the winds were a little light! Sunburn being the major obstacle.

Sigma 41 keel

Have some photo's of keel off if interested Carl, my keel leaked due to poor seal between the keel and hull, caulking was a white compound that just didn't cut the mustard, previous owner used caulking thread around the keel bolts to prevent water ingress, but we still always had water in the boat. Hopefully dry this year as we used sikaflex this time. Roger on Candida is the guru on keels though.

Cheers now!

Shawn.

Hi
I've managed to acquire some hull drawings, one is a hull cutaway to show berths etc the other four show the stringer plan and some transverse sections at various points. I was hoping to get deck core info but little is shown.
Anyway if anyone wants a copy I have them on disc and can email them to you. The files are are about 750kb each, if thats too big I could try and compress them or maybe send you a [Log in to view email]

Have you noticed that there seems to be no deck coring where there is teak decking? I think this is the case, and it is a feature I think is great.

Jim,

Mine appears to haver no core. :-)

Also, why the fridge capacity? Just replaced the compressor and cooling plate on BlackAdder.

Cheers now.

I also replaced the compressor + plate some time ago and ice with the G+T is excellent. Considered replacing/upgrading the insulation but appears that most space around the fridge is insulated and difficult to get at without major surgery. As boat going to warmer climes this summer, I added a computer fan to draw more air across the compressor. Not yet tried it to see how effective.

I cant find any core apart from ply inserts. I was concerned that the poor condition of the caulking would allow water into the core via fixing holes, but can't see one so hopefully no problem. The only thing I have found is that unsealed over length screws (1") can go right through the deck and add up to a leak!

Hi
I would very much like to have the drawings of the hull etc that you seem to be able to send. My boats name is "Sunbird", formerly English owned, bought in the Med (Turkey) and sailed to Norway.
Regards Patrick

Hei
Jasså da er vi to i Norge. Hvilken båt kjøpte du? Er du fornøyd? hvilke planer har du?
Jeg kjøpte min båt for 5 år siden. Hadde den i middelhavet, men nå er den seilt hjem. Hadde vært fint å se den på sjøen - hvor ligger du? Jeg ligger i Oslo.

We have redone the caulking and reset many of the screws on FAYAWAY's teak. A miserable job, and awfully expensive if you pay someone to do it. We also have the long screws that show rust from leakage, but by keeping after the bungs I think we have minimized the leakage. At least what leaks isn't rotting a core or traveling through it.

Hi Andy,

We installed a system for a 120 litre box, on the http://www.penguinfrigo.co.uk website the parts are Frigomatic Box Evaporator 130H E50065 and Frigomatic Madrid 35F Compressor E51380. A holding plate was not recommended by the manufacturer. It only draws 2.5 amps as opposed to the old unit which drew 5.5 amps. It is easy to install, however, there are 3 compressor models based on the space you are installing into. We have mounted the thermostat control under the sink.

Another note is that the thermostat sensor is to be mounted onto of the cooling plate at the back, there is a black plastic plate for this, but the manual is not so obvious and I had to take it all apart to refit!

If you ask for Ian at Frigo boat he seemed to be genuine and helpfull.

Cheers now.

Andy,

We are chartered for Fowey Week to race, so my crew need berths as it were, definately Kate would race with you and has local knowledge, knows spinnkaers etc.

She is coming to Cowes for the ride up and down so you could meet?

Cheers now.
