pete48 Posted August 19, 2014 Author Share #91 Posted August 19, 2014 Another very productive day with the boat , ( mostly spent sanding ) Once the hull was Faired and the Deck sanded , I apllied 2 coats of primer to both the Hull and Deck. I then shot 1 coat of semi-gloss White on the deck and cockpit ( allowing overspray on to the Hull ) Here are the results Jay 1, capnharv2, RichardG and 6 others 9 Quote "may your sails be full of wind and the sun on your back" Current Builds : Future Builds : N.G Herreshoff 12 1/2 Scratch Build 3/4" = 1' - 0" Scale Completed Builds : Volvo 65 Farr Yacht Design Herreshoff Alerion Herreshoff Buzzards Bay 14 Volvo Open 70 Member : The Herreshoff Registry Montgomery Sailboat Owners Group Peter Kunst Sailboat Models http://www.herreshoffregistry.org/ http://www.msog.org/ http://www.facebook.com/Peter-Kunst-Sailboat-Models-1524464774524480/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rottger Posted August 19, 2014 Share #93 Posted August 19, 2014 Harvey, The roller used for the jib is a differend one as used for a genaker. You would nead a very big drum to hold the amound of line needed for a gennaker, a furler with a endless line is used. Unless something goes wrong, you would never take down a sail before the next sail is up, it would cost to much speed! Pete, your Volvo looks great!

You would nead a very big drum to hold the amound of line needed for a gennaker, a furler with a endless line is used. Hans I have to disagree with you on this one, look at the link to the PDF that explains how the furler works for the Genaker, it is not an endless line. To be clear I am talking about the model and not a full size boat. I have no knowledge of full size furlers.

capnharv2 Posted August 19, 2014 Share #98 Posted August 19, 2014 Michael, "To be clear I am talking about the model and not a full size boat. I have no knowledge of full size furlers." Thanks so much for the clarification. Often, discussions like this cross over from model to real thing and back. And I, for one, become easily confused which one we're talking about.

michael mott Posted August 19, 2014 Share #99 Posted August 19, 2014 Harvey these boats are really exciting machines they are definitely pushing the envelope. The interesting thing about hull design is that it seem to me that big changes occur because a designer does a what if, and suddenly the old rules dissolve, and the imposable becomes the new norm. the plan veiw of the drawing that Pete posted is a rectangle with one end drawn down to a rounded point, I did this by a simple tracing over the drawing and it is 1.5m long full size, yes I'm tempted to draw more 59 inch model plan.pdf Didn't mean to hijack your thread Pete sorry.

rottger Posted August 19, 2014 Share #100 Posted August 19, 2014 Michael, I don't think that we disagree, I was talking about the full size practice! A new form is making an interesting and successful comeback: The whole rectangle with only the frond edges a little bit rounded. Like a barge or a tjalk. Most class rules does not allow this shape but in the mini 650 it is allowed and nearly unbeatable. These yachts are not pleasing to the eye, but Righting Moment to the max makes them fast. Look for pictures of Magnum 747. Harvey, solo / shorthanded ocean racers have all jibs on a separate foiler hosted ready to use. The sails are so big that changing them would take to much time and energy from the sailor. Hans pete48 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pete48 Posted August 19, 2014 Author Share #102 Posted August 19, 2014 I would first off like to thank everyone for the Likes and Comments, I am greatful for all the input and information the video's are Amazing . I am thoroughly enjoying this Build. It is alot of fun , and I am learning alot about theses State of the Art Racing Machines Thanks Jay, I am hoping to get the Blue on the Hull today Thanks Hans, What do you think of the Bruce Farr VO 65 ? Hi Michael, the Keel cants from Starboard to Port, the Keel acts like a pendulum and is rased toward the windward wide of the Boat with the Dagger Board dropped on the Lee Side ( I hope that explains it ) The Boat Is starting to come together Thanks Harvey , for the intresting Conversation, on the Roller furling system ( for the model ) Best Regards, Pete flying_dutchman2, Jay 1, Elmer Cornish and 2 others 5 Quote "may your sails be full of wind and the sun on your back" Current Builds : Future Builds : N.G Herreshoff 12 1/2 Scratch Build 3/4" = 1' - 0" Scale Completed Builds : Volvo 65 Farr Yacht Design Herreshoff Alerion Herreshoff Buzzards Bay 14 Volvo Open 70 Member : The Herreshoff Registry Montgomery Sailboat Owners Group Peter Kunst Sailboat Models http://www.herreshoffregistry.org/ http://www.msog.org/ http://www.facebook.com/Peter-Kunst-Sailboat-Models-1524464774524480/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rottger Posted August 19, 2014 Share #103 Posted August 19, 2014 Pete, The OD VO 65 is a very nice boat and probably a little bit less on the edge as the VO70 Box Rule boats. It is a move to an OD boat trying to get more teams involved. It is now easier to step in late and there no risk that your design is of the pace, so less risk for the corporate sponsors. I loved however the design contest that was always an important part of the Race and that is now gone. You get a VO 65 OD and thats it. Bruce Farr's track record in the last races was not very impressive and so it is a big surprise that his team was asked to design the OD boat. But a cool boat it is! The high-end racers like the IMOCA en VO boats are getting so fast that the yachts are the limiting factor, you can't go full throttle all the way. You have to know when you can go full power and when you have to nurse your ship. Compare it with car races: If you think you can keep your foot down all the way you will learn an important lesson in the first corner. This was not so obvious too all VO competitors, see the massive amount of structural failures in the last races. If there is a weak link in this VO 65 the sailors will find it and then you have 8 boats (7 competitors and 1 spare) with a problem in stead of 1.

flying_dutchman2 Posted August 20, 2014 Share #107 Posted August 20, 2014 The built looks great, lots of steps that I will remember when I built this boat. When I look at the hull, it looks like half a boat because the stern is so wide. I expect it to tapper. What are you going to do about sails? Create your own or is there a manufacturer that makes custom sails for this type of model. In between working on the Statenjacht Utrecht, I am also working on a Soling 1m. Because this boat is one of the most popular RC sail model there is company that will create any sails you design. After doing some advanced searches on Google I found 4 large plans as PDF's (ABN 1 & 2, Illbruck and Ericsson). In due time I will built one of the ABN boats. Marc pete48 1 Quote Current Built: Zeehaen 1639, Dutch Fluit from Dutch explorer Abel J. Tasman Unofficial motto of the VOC: "God is good, but trade is better" Many people believe that Captain J. Cook discovered Australia in 1770. They tend to forget that Dutch mariner Willem Janszoon landed on Australia’s northern coast in 1606. Cook never even sighted the coast of Western Australia).
