Re: Bestevaer 49ST

Sailmonkey. On second thought your explanation does not make sense.

What makes you think that the recess would typically be full of water? And with flue gases probably somewhere between 350-500...

Re: Bestevaer 49ST

I'm curious too. I would have thought it would be proud of the adjacent surfaces rather than recessed.

And the flue is stainless, no? How did they weld it to the aluminum deck???

Very, very nice. And completion will likely coincide with great sailing weather for you to move the boat wherever you wish.

Lots of things to see from the last two pics:

Re: Bestevaer 49ST

Also, the shaft is offset really far so that very little of the rudder area is ahead of the shaft axis, so there will be very little servo effect. What is the idea behind that? Wouldn't make any...

Re: Bestevaer 49ST

So the rudder will be a combination of stainless steel and aluminum.

Do you know how they weld stainless to aluminum? I would think that it would be difficult due to the differing temperature...

Re: Bestevaer 49ST

Are you going to paint the hull or go au natural? Will the hull be faired to any extent?

I think I remember you were going to paint the decks. Decided on a color?

Re: Bestevaer 49ST

Are they lofting full-size plans (I guess not), or are they cutting the alloy components via CAD/CAM and a plasma or waterjet cutter?

Sure looks pretty :smile:
