Welcome to our neighbourhood! ⛵️🇳🇴 I noticed your creative line for the self tacking jib. I have been thinking of something like this so I dont need the big rail on the boat. Can you explain how it works? Or perhaps you have a video showing it? Best regards from Sandefjord, Norway. ⛵️
Hi, this is an easy solution to prevent us to install a expensive rail, like you said. We have the attachementspoints on deck to attach a block and a harp-fitting with in between a Dynema line. The end of the dynema line runs trough to a winch, to put the line on ‘tension’. Attached to that dynema line is a sliding ring and a block for the sheet to the front sail. This makes our front sail self tacking without a rail. I will try to make a video of it, because my explanation might raise some questions ;-)
Some very beautiful photography capturing the rainbow 🌈 reflection. Your vessel really shouts Ship 😂 compared to the GRP boats around you. Are those larger ports double glazed. The vessel radiates solidarity. 👍🏻🧙🏻♂️
Hi Clive, hahaha...we are sorts of a ship right? Yes, the entire ship was insulated entirely. Alle the ports and windows included. We have extra plastic see through plates we can put on the inside of the deck windows for extra insulation. We are 50 tons pure steel indeed 🙂
Hoi ja, klopt. We wilden het proffesioneel laten doen, maar daar hing een bedragje met meerdere nullen aan vast. Dus met hulp van Jan van de Gandalf een constructie bedacht met dynema-lijn. Niet optimaal, maar bijna het zelfde resultaat voor een paar euro ;-)
Wat is dit toch een mooi leven 🤗
zo waar!
Deepest fjord is more than 1300 meters.

Mooi filmpje weer, genieten! Werkt die keerfok goed? De schoothoek lijkt wat teveel naar binnen te staan voor een optimaal profiel.
