Ferretti reveals 'green' motor yacht

Kistinie

Pretty fast, mate! you gained knowledge impressively, over just less than two years.

May I quote:

"In your opinion, what are the main situations i will have to be particuraly careful with my new boat ?

My experience is hobby 15,16, 18 formula with many many (and very often funny)capsize."


BIO refit on Crowther Twiggy

And an able bluewater sailor today, ja? No reasonable fear to cross the Biscay in winter season.

I´ll tell you what: ask your questions, someone will answer, try to find out if the answer given, was of any value for you, if not ask again. But you´ll have almost no advantage to tell old salts, how deep the ocean!
And to break my own rule.............. I am by no means paid by any industry. I am building boats and fortunately must not make a living of it, although I could, bringing some 250 to 320 tonnes (accumulated) of boats through the door per annum. Look at my Gallery, some are shown there.
And even I am still learning here, almost every week. Try doing the same.
Arguing about pricing, instead of reading and understanding, one of the most senseful papers the industry provides on that subject, does´nt attract too many here, to give you serious assistance.
Thats
it

I love the 18 formula, heavy but well balanced boat

To do a confession too
i'm also an engineer, i'm 43...today ! I spend a lot of time reading and asking. And i can learn 365 days a year if i fell like doing. I have this chance.

The bio refit is engaged as i am clearing of 90% of steal from the boat
a friend Herve Houplain , French designer, helps me for the ergonomy
i have found the reason of the softness i found in the arms and repaired some bad wood, modified a link too.
I use aramide glued and tight instead of any other system. I gain wood protection, weight and a lot of money
Glisten less with no steal and alum.
But to compensate will put a big Andersen winches !

So this is done, all together got 400 Kg of the boat (including engine, tanks, brass ...and of course bad wood full of water replaced by carbon epoxy)

I still have to reshap stern as volume is not enough, boat in unbalanced

Wingover is undersailed with only 40m² main and 22 jib
31 feet beam, so difficult to capsize
Toshiba (Provu) the F40 is far more dangerous

i sail wingover alone
i have not the level (or the balls) to do the same with this F40, so we will be 3 for the trip

When the pope say something i find stupid, i do not care that he is a master, a stupid idea remains stupid even in the mouth of a king.

I find the paper on hybrid, partial and oriented, not objective at all.
This paper forgets all the important questions, remains out of the question of what is a sailing boat and how do we use it
This paper smell bad, smells the oil and industry lobby, smell the corrupted oil as said someone here.
i know what i am talking about because i have been a corrupter myself for different much bigger industry than boat

A sailing boat can sail 90% of the time with sails and batteries
An anvil will never sail hybrid, i agree

About electricity the lightness of wingover will make my goal much easier to reach than on any other heavier one.
I clearly do not see anything wrong in my conception.
If there is a mistake, i need to know witch one precisely
I'm waiting for critics with arguments behind.

Cheers !
