Re: Bestevaer 49ST

Wow. Absolutely gorgeous. Worth every penny and every hour you guys poured into the design and details.

Speaking of which, if a hypothetical customer approached KM and simply said "I want a boat...

Re: Bestevaer 49ST

Re: Bestevaer 49ST

I have been custom re-building my boat now for about 18 years. Pretty much EVERYTHING as been ripped out and radically redesigned to match the way that I use the boat. Nice way to get just what I...

Re: Bestevaer 49ST

Jim:

I have only 6 months of use with my new aluminum chain locker, and so far - no problems.

It is certainly not very pretty, and I expect thef aluminum to SLOWLY develop some pitting.

Re: Bestevaer 49ST

I sure wish I could keep a phone/tablet anchor alarm next to my bunk, but the GPS signal will not penetrate the aluminum decks and house top. Is there a trick that I am missing?

Re: Bestevaer 49ST

Noelex (and SWL), I applaud your dedication to keeping your boat simple. It is the rare event that a new, custom 49'er is commissioned without the usual level of system complexity.

While I have...

Re: Bestevaer 49ST

My Photo bucket stuff is doing the same thing has SWL's. Bummer.

I actually gave up on Photo bucket some time ago as their site was having numerous technical difficulties.

I switched to Imgur....

Re: Bestevaer 49ST

I also. concur.

The aluminum around my deisel furnace chimney does not get hot at all. It does, however get stained. A moat would probably solve that.

Re: Bestevaer 49ST

No doubt about that!

One more question. Those formers/jigs that the hull was constructed on (and still attached to the shop floor), were they custom made and used for your boat only? Or are all...

Seaworthy, Do you know the weight of the hull in its current state?

Re: Bestevaer 49ST

Olaf, Panope's main tanks are above the engine with a head height of about 1 foot. The engine will not bleed unless I pump the lever. Engine is a Yanmar 3JH3E.

Re: Bestevaer 49ST

avb3, The hull scantlings for this Bestevear are more than twice that of my boat (granted, it is a bigger boat) and I have had no hull cracking (except where someone botched the old motor mounts by...

Re: Bestevaer 49ST

Poiu, I've been mucking around with Panope for 40 years. She has always had a black hull and the interior has never been hot. Even when on the hard (no water cooling). The boat did spend a...

Re: Bestevaer 49ST

SWL, I used a stock PPG color (RT - 1503, Grey) on Panope's decks. This color does not reflect light in a noticeable amount (no sunglasses needed) and has not heated to more than slightly warm to...

Re: Bestevaer 49ST

Me too.

Also, I would have expected notches to be present in the bulkheads to accomodate longitudinal framing. Will there be longitudinal framing? Perhaps the notches will be omitted entirely...

Re: Bestevaer 49ST

Ben, on Panope I just prepped for normal painting by sandblasting. Used two coats of Epoxy primer that I had mixed the same color as the topcoat. I used the "sprinkled glass beads" technique on...

Re: Bestevaer 49ST

I wish hull scantlings were mentioned more often as this information is just as important as the material type in describing strength and weight. It always surprises me when someone makes a...

Re: Bestevaer 49ST

This is probably not applicable to the Bestevaer (because it as a "normal" mast) but here is what I came up with to solve the mast penetration problem.

Two piece mast with scarf joint connection...

Re: Bestevaer 49ST

I think the rationale for using a portable fridge is sound (I use an engel). However, you might consider having a traditional, built in, top-loading icebox as well.

If (when) you sell this new...

Re: Bestevaer 49ST

Thanks Noelex,

I highly recommend the metal working skills for all boaters. However, this will create a problem for you as you will need to tow a vast, solar-panel covered barge to power the...

I made no attempt to...
