Re: Jessie Cooper isometrics
Nice modelling Bruce.
JC Tomboy is coming along now that the weather is warming up. February
has been grand here in Seattle. I'm getting set up to do a birdsmouth
mainmast replacement. Then glass the new bottom - with I think 3 or
more layers of 6 oz - 'cause it sticks to the bottom better than 10oz.
Which at this point is (not) upside down.

Thanks Bruce;
Those were my thoughts also and I'm thinking of two or three layers of
10oz. glass - but I may also decide do a narrower design such as
Skillygallee or WDJ - my Wish II is okay for short trips but not
capacious enough for more extended cruising (and I want build another
boat QED!!).

one thing to consider is that marinas charge a 30ft minimum so the
as29 may be a better choice

We built Loose Moose (our Jessie Cooper) using a plywood bottom ( three layers of 12MM)
with two layers of 10 OZ glass over all and overkill on the chine having tape plus both bottom
coures overlap the chine as well as the side panel glass...which held up very well and last we
heard was still going strong!
It was certainly a great boat... quite liveable and it sailed far better than anyone would have
guessed. I certainly loved the rig and if there was one mistake we made in the design of
Loose Moose 2 was adopting the Gaff rig in favor of the lug.

Bruce,
Have you heard of anyone taking a Jessie Cooper on
longer - 'offshore' - trips? Phil said in his book that
he didn't trust the cross planking fastenings for
such a large (wide) bottom, but I'm figuring they could
be made strong enough (by a couple of methods).

I keep coming back to Jessie Cooper, which seems to hit just exactly
the sweet spot for a perfect marina cruiser sailboat.
