Re: Chinese Sharpie fotos

On the intertubes watching another boat altogether, a sloop rigged Illingworth and Primrose designed Top Hat, when a junk rigged one showed up, and with that some TARA launching vids. Splash!

Just measured for you:
Tabernakel is 152x95 mm each post
Mast at partners is 150X157, at the top it looks like 100 dia
Length of mast is unchanged, but different taper. No lead-block attached, all wooden mast heel/foot (?) instead.
Yard and boom/battens close to Hasler/McLeod formula.
Mast is larch, yard/boom is pine.
Anyone building or converting an AS29 feel free to contact me: jitsuzan at yahoo dot de

on your building experience, have you any wise words to share? Your top ten?

Where will TARA wander now?

Thanks for updating here, and please do continue to. Also thanks for help re Jim Melcher and JRA.

Leo,

Any chance we could get the specs for the main mast, yard and battens you used on TARA?


Thanks...

Yes! See:
http://www.natureshead.net/

There is not much headroom in our sharpie,when sitting on the toilet though. But I manage. Still have to find the right spot for the vent opening. You don't want to blow the smell just under your boat cover during the winter months.
You can build one by yourself. Info is on the net.

Absolutely lovely boat.Getting down to basics though - is that a composting toilet

Would have to take them first ... I'll keep that in mind.

> Why two rudders?

When finally making this decision, there were many aspects involved.
Whatever I had choosen, it had been transom hung.

> Did you consider the bolger junk?

No. I prefer the flexibility of the true Chinese junk rig.

> Only criticism, think sailors would be better served by using the precious galley counter space for a double sink rather than twin-triple stoves,

The galley has an U-shape. There is a double sink to the left.
The stove was a bargain and is already replaced by two Prabhat No.1 single burner stoves. The gimbaled potholder a la ATOM (James Baldwin) is in the making :-) For baking, Yuki uses very successfully an Swedish Omnia oven.

Cheers,
Leo
Also like the coamings.
Can you post a few more interior shots?
Why two rudders?
Did you consider the bolger junk?  If, so why not using it?  Although according to my eye, the junks do look better. 
 
Only criticism, think sailors would be better served by using the precious galley counter space for a double sink rather than twin-triple stoves, other than that the design is a masterpiece.

Duesseldorf, Germany

Yes. I made trim tabs for self steering but still have to find the best way to link them to the autopilot.

The dimensions of the hull are exactly to plan. Must be the wide angle lens of my camera.

Thank you and the other posters for your compliments. I did not expect that.

Yes, it's the strongest of the Seagull Series. Description here:

Really cool!  Photo's of another Bolger "big" boat.  The interior shot (#11) conveys a sense of how much interior space is possible with a hard chined boat, so much room, on only 29 feet of length, astonishing.

Gorgeous boat.. but what caught my eye, was the ancient-looking outboard motor (last photo) -- more details, please!  Is that just a big Seagull, or something much more rare like an old Penta?  is it low-rpm?

Re: Chinese Sharpie fotos

Hey, that looks smoking hot!  Did you build her yourself?  You should cross post to theYahoo Junk group.  Whats with thenatures head?  Details please.

Looks like just the boat for a run down the Main,over the top to the Danube and the Black Sea!
