Don't see those lifting frames often enough for my liking!

 

[Helina]

Learning curve is getting steeper ? /forums/images/graemlins/tongue.gif

The yard I'm at seems to use them most of the time.

 

[jenku]

We use them as well.

 

[Helina]

The higher the drier !

 

[Helina]

Jenku, you know like car tires when not in balance they put weight on the other side. Is that why your boat has the extra keel ? /forums/images/graemlins/wink.gif

 

[jenku]

Yes! Exactly the same reason why yours does need two extra hulls, eh? /forums/images/graemlins/cool.gif

Mine needs the sidehulls because I'm still learning to sail. When I learn I can take them off.

Aha...
That makes it all quite clear why there are yachts with multiple hulls...

So Sailors with 3 hulls are new to the game and we should give them a wide berth
when manouevering near them.

Those with 2 hulls must be a bit unsteady on their feet, bit like a marine Zimmer frame...

Isn't it great when the penny drops....

 

[Helina]

Excactly !
My new boat has only two hulls so I'm learning ....., mayby the next one ?

 

[jenku]

What kind of boat did you buy?

 

[Helina]

This one

 

[jenku]

Ah, looks nicer. The kind of nicer my wife would agree to if you get the meaning. More space. Now, will you still get this one into the cove at Kallskär?

 

[Helina]

This is only 6,80 wide ? And with old sails I did 17,4 kn ! My SWMBO,co-owner, loves speed !
