They are so stripped and powerful. It's a very different kind of vessel, with a very different look, than traditional sailboats. In 2004 there were several of them on display at the St. Francis Yacht Club in San Francisco over the holiday season. The public was invited to check them out for a small donation to the club, of course. We spent an hour looking them over, just before two of them went out for some impromptu match racing. Watching them scream by on a broad reach at what looked to be 20kts. or so is something you have to see to believe. They are just incredibly fast. With the wave and sea conditions that day on SF Bay, I doubt if most powerboats could have stayed with them without tearing themselves apart. Awesome. Max |

A lot of "old salt" types are very disdainful of these kind of boats, insisting that they are ugly etc etc. I think they have a kind of brutal gracefulness. .... We stopped for maintenance (we had some poorly designed anti siphon loops that were attempting to sink the boat when significantly heeled) Pretty common... it's amazing how few boats are built to actually work. .... but it was great to watch those long distance speed machines come in. Just being around it was a lot of fun. In some ways, it makes no sense for them to stop in the U.S. But I'm glad they do. A leg from Florida to the Chesapeake is a short hop for them but it shows off the race & the boats. Maybe in the future they'll add a day race in either the Chesapeake or Rhode Island, wouldn't that be a spectacle. It is educational to watch those crews do the maneuvers. Fresh Breezes- Doug King |

The effect of heeling has always to be considered. I do not know whether my
Catalina 38 is the same as all others but when I got her over here I investigated the propane installation and found that the bottle was installed in a fibreglass cylinder in the cockpit locker,hard against the port side of the hull. This bottle container was vented overboard by a short pipe to a thruhull just above the waterline. It was evident from the rust stains inside the grp container and on the bottom of the bottle itself that when she was heeled on the starboard tack water was coming up the drainpipe and standing inside the bottle container to a depth of several inches. That was not going to sink the boat if the drain was properly clipped but the clip had ben left off to ease the changing of the bottle. Even worse, someone had overcome the water entry problem by fitting a very long length of hose and carrying it right up under the deck above the top of the container and then bringing it down again to the thruhull. No way propane was going up and then down again, so had there been a leak it would have filled the container to the top and then spilled over into the bilge. So they were living dangerously but got lucky there was no propane leak. I have reinstated the original arrangement with proper clips on the pipe so no worries if water does come into the container when heeled. It will run out again when she comes upright. But next winter I shall shift the whole bottle installation nearer to the centreline of the boat so water cannot get in. Edgar "Frank Boettcher" wrote in message ...
