Re: New Sailor, some Questions for you

Thanks for that. I was thinking about joining a race team to learn. I'm in Ko Olina, so should be able to go to one of them. Hoping there is a team in my marina, that would make it lots easier.

Re: New Sailor, some Questions for you

Neat story Jim, thanks for that. I'm not really planning on any actual racing with it but if the opportunity pops up, why not? I'm thinking I might join up with some kind of sailing team in Hawaii...

Re: New Sailor, some Questions for you

Great! Please let me know how it pans out.

Normally the HQ photos are off digital cameras, so same idea as a scan. I had some HQ photos a of painting taken which were then printed out on canvas...

Re: New Sailor, some Questions for you

Hi Ann, you read my mind! I was just thinking about that this morning.

Mike, is there a print shop near you? They normally have high resolution cameras that can take pictures of the blueprints and...

Re: New Sailor, some Questions for you

Thanks, I might check it out. I got a couple nice books on the go. The 'Dummies' series can be an excellent starting point for some topics. I've never really clicked with any I've tried to read tho....

Re: New Sailor, some Questions for you

We can have a Rafiki race one day, ha.

I certainly would love to get my hands on a copy of the blue prints, if that's possible?

Re: New Sailor, some Questions for you

As far as I'm aware it is the original name. However, I don't have a complete history of the vessel. From what I know it was made in Taiwan, then someone in New Zealand owned and sailed her for many...

Re: New Sailor, some Questions for you

Mike, you certainly have a nice looking sailboat! Did you name the boat, or is it the original name?

Here is a pic of my interior looking from the head back to entrance. The bench pulls out and...

Re: New Sailor, some Questions for you

Mike, you certainly have good looking boat! What is the meaning of the name 'Pachina Mia'? Was it named by you or previous owner?

My boat layout has a berth on the starboard side, I think most do....

Re: New Sailor, some Questions for you

Jim, thanks for that info. It might explain why the hinges of the trim are not connected up to the zink line and are so rusty. I'll definitely have a close look when I get out back out to the boat.

Re: New Sailor, some Questions for you

Trim tab, interesting. I will have to look up what I can hook it up to. I might have to do some work on my trim tab as the metal hinges look very rusted on my ship from what I recall.

Been...

Re: New Sailor, some Questions for you

Can someone identify the tab on the rudder on the bottom of my boat. Is this what I would connect an autosteering (or windvane) system up to? Thanks!

Re: New Sailor, some Questions for you

I had the boat inspected prior to sale. They said I got to replace in two years.

The teak on this boat is in amazing condition top to...

Re: New Sailor, some Questions for you

Fantastic! I think I have hull #20, if I am interpreting the HID properly? *Production #'37020')



There is an hour meter on it, but it is not the original hour meter. Currently has 1545 hours...

Re: New Sailor, some Questions for you

Thanks to everyone for their responses, very helpful! Please excuse my slow response.

All sounds like very good advice. I am a bit relieved I won't need to worry about a wind vane for the time...

New Sailor, some Questions for you

Hello!

I have recently purchased a 37' foot Rafiki Cutter sailboat for use as a live aboard. I will be moving onto my boat in January, I don't have any previous experience, but I am looking...
