AdSense.

 NOTICE: I am trying an experiment with Adsense, the advertisement branch of Google, on this Blog.

 - It could be annoying to certain people, but with over 300410 clicks since 2010, and 12194 last month, I 

owe myself to see how it works.

6 Metre 2025 World Championship.

                                                                                        SIX

 

The visual success of the 6 Metre World Championship, held by the Seawanhaka Corinthian  

Yacht-Club, Oyster Bay, made me think. 

- Excellent venue with a King and many of the Old Guard. 

As far as the boats are concerned. If a new excursion within the 6 M. Rules, so far has not been proved 

to work, the large fleet was interesting to watch. My Design follows my thoughts after observing the 

very well-done videos covering the racecourse,

CT44

 - TYD#811.






- The Tanton CT44 was also built in Taiwan by Ta Chiao.  She differs from the T43 by adopting a 

conventional cutter rig over the Cat-Ketch free- standing carbon fiber masts Sail Plan.

- But also, and very important, an increase of the draft by 12", in order to conserve the stability 

characteristics of the cat-ketch-,fitted with much lighter masts. She still features a draft of only 6ft. 

light-ship or so depending on the carrying load.

Day Sailers.

 Classic and sort of Classics for these 2 examples under 40ft.

At liberty to comment. 

- Apparently, there is a demand for a Daysailer under 40ft. Preferably designed under a 

pseudo classic look. 

- Some with plumb bow, a sprit and an elongated cockpit, some others with overhangs with more 

substantial displacement. 

- But what is the definition, if there is one?


- A Day-Sailer, at 40ft.- 12 meters is on the large size for the occasional outing. The concept can be 

downsized to fit time, budget, and also location. REF: TYD#456.

- From a practical point of view, and almost no matter the size, I see the main ingredients as being: 

light on the helm; lots of stability (not a catamaran in this discussion); easy rig and Sail Plan.

IAORANA 82ft. 25M.
