Re: Pilothouse Variations -- Boreal

No wonder. Bob perry finds double enders beautiful and aesthetics plays a big part on boat design when sail performance is not the main aim:

Re: Pilothouse Variations -- Boreal

I have to say that about double enders i agree with Bob Perry view on the subject (and given the number of boats he designed with double enders I would say he knows something about it):

Re: Pilothouse Variations -- Boreal

It is not only retro look is a bit retro designed (to go with the retro looks) but nothing that would count much to sail performance unless you want a performance boat.

Re: Pilothouse Variations -- Boreal

Another boat that seems to fit Dockhead criteria is the aluminium Bestevaer 55:

Re: Pilothouse Variations -- Boreal

Can you explain that a bit more? With wires it is just a direct system with hydraulics there are a lot more things that can fail.

You should hear the man that had designed most canoe stern boats on the water, Bob Perry:

Re: Pilothouse Variations -- Boreal

Going back to pilot houses, some nice photos of the Futuna explorer 54 that has a hull very similar to other French aluminium voyage boats but has a somewhat different pilot house. ...

Re: Pilothouse Variations -- Boreal

From Berkemeyer this is the one that I like most, along the lines of Adventure 55 but with a more interesting interior with a deck saloon an chart table with full view around.

Not hull appendices:rolleyes:, Hull and appendices, meaning shape of the hull, keel and rudder.

Re: Pilothouse Variations -- Boreal

Regarding the Southerly versus the old designed Nauticat I am talking about the hull and appendices, not about the superstructures. Nothing fancy about that. Just efficiency in what regards sailing....

Re: Pilothouse Variations -- Boreal

No I don't like it particularly but professionally I recognize quality in the design that in this case I don't think it has to do much with boats. The boat was not designed by Steve Jobs but by Steve...

More than by aesthetics those two boats are separated by several decades of yacht design evolution. Here the Southerly 49, a similar design and the Nauticat 515:

Re: Pilothouse Variations -- Boreal

They were talking about harmonizing lines. Sure it can be done but the Nauticat 515 is not an harmonized boat (in what regards aesthetics) to my eyes.

Compare it for instance with the Southerly...

Re: Pilothouse Variations -- Boreal

Being the RM faster downwind the waves will slap the boat with much less force (if at all). In fact the boat will be sailing at almost wave speed doing long surfs. I have heard about that the opinion...

Re: Pilothouse Variations -- Boreal

Optionally they can have an outside layer(s) of kevlar. Many owners opt for that. The epoxy is used to saturate the marine plywood and make it completely waterproof.

One of the quote was from Glenans, probably the best world's sailing school (The RM 10.50 is a fast voyage boat) and they have one on their fleet of many different sailboats.

Certainly it doesn't look like on those drawings but the Beneteau 50 is not an Oceanis so it is possible, and if you say so certainly is the case.

Re: Pilothouse Variations -- Boreal

The boats that are designed to be beached have some sort of swing keel , lifting keel or board and they stay on their twin rudders, just for lateral balance.

Why should someone left a boat not...
