We're in Marion, Massachusetts this week... just down the road from where a 12-year-old Captain Q caught the bug of sailing at a summer camp at Tabor Academy.
We were very keen to look at this classic bluewater sailboat designed by Alan Gurney - who had a lot of success with his early designs including Genevieve, which won the overall at the SORC in the mid-1960s. This early success set him up for an illustrious career designing some very fast, classic sailboats, including this 1968 Royal Huisman (pronounced Houseman) 44

Loved this episode. Slight possible correction: it almost sounded to me that Cap'n Q said the Herreschoff Ketch that was campaigned by Bob Johnson and was first to finish in the '63 Transpac, was the 3/4 version Tioga. Ticonderoga, owned by Bob Johnson was 72' overall. She set a record and was first to finish in the '65 Transpac (9:13:51:02). In the '71 Transpac, Windward Passage--still the most beautiful racing boat on the West Coast--set a new course record (9:09:06:48). When the 90' ketch "Morning Star" set a new record of 10:10:13:09 for the race in 1949, the yachting editor of the Los Angeles Times said there would never be another record set! 10 days 10 hours was as good as it would EVER get! He'd be rolling over in his watery grave to learn that the 100' maxi-yacht Comanche set a new record of 5:01:55:26 in 2017. Appreciated the discussion of the differences of an aluminum hull! Sail on!

@malachy1847 Год назад

Hose Geometry should be looked at both on the Suction and especially on on the Discharge of the Circulation Pump, On the Suction have a Lager hose with a step down fitting fixed onto that side allowing a greater suction lift through the pump and on the Discharge no sharp radius bends directly coming off the pump, just come STRAIGHT out for more that several diameters of the hose, before a slow swept looping hose... this will give better flow and less pressure and less turbulence coming out of the pump thus less strain on those Hose Clips...and less pressure drop which can cause Vapour Bubbles and erode the Rubber Impeller before it's time...Great Boat... Great Upload Captain...

The only thing I didn't really like was the lack of outward visibility from the main saloon. Unless I missed it the only windows I saw were in the aft (sort of) owners cabin. The transition from there to the main saloon left me confused and I had to go back several time and re-watch it to understand the physics of it all. That said it was a beautifully built boat, very nice layout and exceptional woodwork for a 50 year old vessel. Another fine video leaving me wanting more. Eagerly looking forward to the next one already!

@beverlyaslett7871 Год назад

Dear captain and ran-day. I always love the history and discussion of hulls and rudders and efficiency. I’d love to hear more about the difference in boats going to windward and weather helm problems. It was interesting about aluminum vs fiberglass. Were those bubbles in the paint possible corrosion? I thought your rating was generous and understand those ratings are largely based on captain’s bias (and why not it is your channel and expertise.) my own thoughts were this boat is more a racing boat and not enough creature comforts for me to dream about. I’d want a little more headroom and most definitely a larger berth for napping at anchor and perhaps romance. I look forward to thursdays and appreciate the fun cheeky stuff that is slyly inserted. I think Nalleys chili could sit beside DM for companionship and choice.

@scomo532 Год назад

Hey Cap, you didn’t mention the need to hang a chunk of Zn over the side at anchor attached to the shrouds with a battery cable. A common practice with Al yachts to fight electrolysis of the hull. I sailed on an Al CNB 76, very powerful, study vessel. I agree that Al yachts are great, but they do require vigilent maintenance.

@markscott358 Год назад

I only sailed as a youngster small sunfish and sunfins16 Hobbie cat no real training. I worked for a man that was a yacht racer and mountain climber . We worked for two years at Carolina Beach. Doing construction and Hardee's remodeling early 80s. I was in my early 20s Marine reserve. And had been married a couple of years. We sailed alot not joy rides. Hard bad weather adrenaline stuff. I mean massive waves and ocean on that sixteen footer was really flying no water at all flying off one wave to another off the side in a sling. On one hull just flying. I really miss that. What i would give to sail her or one of the others you've gone over. But this one the lines,aluminum she is magnificent. Fast and free to cut through the water. Unlike any you have ever shown before. Now I am truly truly jealous of anyone that could Owen and sail such a ship or spend last days living on her. Now for me. I don't think for any amount could purchase such a ship!!!

I’ve owned Gurney’s most popular design for a number of years, an Islander 36 from 1972, that has sailed and raced in nearly every port from Vancouver to Acapulco, so seeing this boat was a treat.

Cap'n, would the hull being aluminum complicate the repainting process? Would it have to be sand blasted down to the metal, like you would do on a car paint job?

@svendhellested3463 Год назад

I had a house inspection friend look over my place. He took a screwdriver and poked at the rotten areas. I would like to take a screw driver to some of those bulges under the paint. Its not the paint that bubles, but the metal underneath. If the stuff is all over then the boat is done, aluminum or not. The man hours to grind, weld, and regrind out all those blemishes could be $$$.

Nice. Just went under contract on a 1988 Shannon 43. Some leaks and cracking on the non skid. The survey came back with light to moderate blisters of 2 inches or less. Should I be concerned and walk away? And Randaay needs to do a jazz playlist on Spotify ;)

@YachtHunters Год назад

The boat is 35 years old. I would ask how extensive the blisters are and I would also ask where the leaks are. You refer to cracking around the non-skid, but is that just spiderwebs in the gelcoat? What is the asking price for that boat, and where is it located? We did an episode on one of those as I recall, and there’s an awfully nice boat and taken in total the items you mention do not seem to be exhaustively diminishing in any way and possibly more and cosmetic. She will not sync because of the blisters And legs can always be stopped, so… If you can find your local Boatyard, and ask him what it would cost to strip the bottom, put a fresh Apoxsee coat on it, grind out some of the cracks in the gelcoat and fill those and then just source the leaks wherever they might be

@FireyFlyman Год назад

@@YachtHunters - 5 of the through hulls are leaking, 3 port lights are leaking around the screws. Main mast leaks very slightly down to the keel. The boat was fully refitted at the Shannon yard in Bristol. Asking was 180 and the survey came in much higher. The surveyor said that he would address only the largest blisters of which there are about 10. He surveyed the boat 10 years earlier and said that the blistering was stable and that the hull was not at all compromised. And that the Fiberglass was so substantial that it was only the gelcoat. He said if the boat was 3 years old that it would be much more serious. The through hulls are Apollo bronze in good shape and only need rebuidling. I was able to lay eyes and feel around all 17 through hulls. The steering quadrant and centerboard cable are in excellent condition. The auto pilot is hydrolic so in the event of a cable failure the auto pilot should be a good back up before having to use the spare tiller. As far as the non skid - it appears to be cosmetic, the Surveyor felt that I should sail and enjoy the boat after addressing the leaks and bottom paint for a year before any investment. Seems like sound advice? Thanks for your advice and for talking me out of a new Moody in Moody. This boat has a safer cockpit, better sail flexibility, and a battleship keel with a rudder that looks almost Orca proof for almost 750k less money for now! The interior is crazy nice. No laminated wood anywhere. Solid Mehagony under the sole. New fuel, water tabks, updated electronics, electrical, standing rigging and sails all done in 2016... And when you look back at it - hard to take your eyes off it!
