Re: Pilothouse Variations -- Boreal

Hey, that's my hull.... but a lot longer. You can see the daggerboard and centerboard slots in this line drawing, but this doesn't show the pilothouse:

Re: Pilothouse Variations -- Boreal

This is the one I pointed you to at least a year ago. Again, the benefit with this boat is dinghy garage orientation and that it can still have a single rudder vs twin rudders needed if you put the...

Re: Pilothouse Variations -- Boreal

Berckemeyer's looks a lot more like this:

Re: Pilothouse Variations -- Boreal

Have you seen Venus in person? It's actually pretty when stacked among all the other melted looking yachts. I hated the photos when it was launched, but seeing it come into harbor, it looked...

Re: Pilothouse Variations -- Boreal

Do you have a link?.... it's an odd design, but I want to see more :thumb:

Re: Pilothouse Variations -- Boreal

That's another Berckemeyer design. I believe in addition to the lifting keel, it also has water ballast... they're known for this feature.

Re: Pilothouse Variations -- Boreal

Length does help the pimple look of a pilothouse/center cockpit if you don't try making the engine room (under cockpit) standing height. Dijkstra and Hoek do this well, but then we're talking 70'...

Re: Pilothouse Variations -- Boreal

I still dont like the feel of a center cockpit or aft cockpit with a high seating position due to aft cabin, but at least after 45' they don't cosmetically look as awkward. The issue is when you...

Re: Pilothouse Variations -- Boreal

The only time that is an issue is during heavy weather. At that point, you're already soaked or being steered by autopilot.

Also, the buoyancy aft is huge.... you'll lift over most waves or...

Re: Pilothouse Variations -- Boreal

Easy enough to add Dyneema netting across the transom to stop anyone/thing from going over the aft end. But I guess nobody has ever added accessories to address a concern they have.

Re: Pilothouse Variations -- Boreal

Polux, you're right. The extra bowsprit is not a part of the length on deck. I'm not sure what people are missing....a westsail 32 is called that because it is 32' on deck, but much larger...

Re: Pilothouse Variations -- Boreal

I don't know....Seems pretty easy to clean off your boots under the pilothouse overhang like the shoes in this photo. Heck, a canvas screen could be dropped down covering the last few feet just like...

Ha! Apparently you haven't seen the postings where Noelex 77 is having a Bestevaer 49 built right now.

Re: Pilothouse Variations -- Boreal

Thanks. You should have seen when she was painted with really old Awlgrip. Stripped it all with aircraft stripper, chisel and a random orbital. Still needs the final polish, but that will be done...

Re: Pilothouse Variations -- Boreal

Our boat was designed and built with the daggerboards like the Boreal's in 1983.

Here's a pic with the rudder off, but you get an idea of the way the French designed them way back when.
