Hi Niallb,
There must be some differences between the boats. One of which is the transom. I had to do a repair around the outboard bracket at the start of the season and the transom has a plywood core. I suspect that my boat is an earlier boat than yours based on the sail number so this must...
Hi Niall b (Monkey Business)
I'm just across the lough from you at EDYC, Quinto. I sailed against you last year at the 2 day event but I think thats the only time. It's a bit of a shame the 3 Club 19s in the lough haven't been out at the same time at any of the regattas etc, but that's probably...
Hi Pollywick,
Can't be a huge amount of help on the interior. Although, I think that they are all pretty much the same inside. It should sleep two adults and two kids, provided you are all not too tall. I have a set of seat cushions but sadly that is as luxurious as it gets. I had planned to...
Hi Finnersz,
I had a look for you, the only pick I could see was on the title bar on the website which has a tiny little bright yellow spinnaker in the middle of much bigger boats. It sounds like you are sailing it well.
No experience with the guys from Owens sails, but their sails seem pretty...
Hi Finners,
Somebody else posted a scan of the original sales literature on page 1 of this thread. It gives some of the statistics for the boat, so this should be of help.
West Highland Week sounds excellent. I have only been doing a bit of club racing but my old dinghy crew can't always get...
On my boat, the transom isn't solid. It is most definitely a cored construction. I actually have a delam in the transom and in preparation to repair have drilled into the core to check it is dry. Some of the boats must have been built differently.
Out of curiosity, what is the sail number of...
Thanks for the sales literature Colston. Its great to see the original sales info and get actual confirmed figures for the boat, especially on the ballast ratio!
Club 19 - No probs with the measurements, glad they are of help. When I had the log out of mine as well as the cockpit drains through...
Hi Colston. If you could scan a copy of the original sales literature, I would like to see it.
The sails on my boat are Owens and they seem pretty good. The other Club 19 at my yacht club uses Westaways. There are some differences in the sail wardrobe on both boats. Firstly, mine are standard...
I have never actually sailed mine singlehanded but that's because it was set up for a crew of three and things have been located in awkward positions for single handing combined with the fact that the mainsail has a bolt rope rather than sliders and there is no topping lift for the boom so it...
Hey,
Your in luck. I have the rudder sitting in my garage so I have been able to take a few measurements off it for you. However, my Club is a fixed keel but I have taken the measurements from the waterline. I don't know if the lifting keel version has the same max draft as the fixed keel...
Hi, I can't help much with your question at the moment. However, I purchased a Club 19 a few months ago and intend to launch in the next week or so. At this moment in time, I have no idea what way to set the rig up, so there will be some trial and error for the first few weeks of sailing until I...
