Subject: RE: Re: wanted to buy - water ballast
I have a MIchalak 'Caprice', and I installed Rule 1000 gpm pumps in each
tank. The main reason was to dump a third of the weight before I haul the
boat out of the water with my little Ranger four banger. The truck tows the
boat Ok, but on steep ramps, it needs all the help it can get.
The secondary reason for the pumps was for better performance under power.
Unfortunately, I have yet to test the speed with and without ballast.
The pumps will remove 700 lbs. of ballast in about five minutes. It's not
too complicated: there are no valves, and the only thru hull fittings are
above the waterline. The tanks fill from a hole in the bottom which is
plugged after filling.

Hi,
after one year of non boatbuilding, I had some weeks this summer to do
some jobs on my Seabird. It's realy a plesure to build this design and I
hope it's also a plesure to sail it next summer.
I've scanned some pictures and loaded up to my homepage.
If you want, look at:

Happy boatbuilding
Stefan

Subject: Chebacco speed
Dear Chebacchisti, I'd like to hear feedback on how fast the Chebacco
sails. I've sailed with my 16' boat this summer, and the very best I
could go on a beam reach (with the boat heavily loaded though: 5 or 6
people on board) was about 3.5-4 knots in force 3-4. My boat is quite
heavy w.r.t. to the size, and the sail area is relatively small. My
question is: could I expect significantly better performance from a
Chebacco? The reason why I'm asking is because I've read a report
from an Italian guy on his lapstrake Chebacco, saying that he's not
been able to go as fast as 5 knots in 15-20 knots of wind. This seem
surprising, because Chebacco turn out to be a "racer" in terms of
sail area vs displacement...
