Lionhart of Hartlepool hits the water !
Very, very interesting. Control of the flow and pressure in this way would save angling the rudders forward. Hence lower loads, but similar flow...
In my case it is stern hung rudders, slightly canted for the heal of the yacht. Of course the problem of keaping the lamina flow at dif. speeds...
I can see where the Tom's are in this (you should never have Tom Tom's beaten by a john :eek: Pun!). As a design engineer I can see that I am...
Whilst looking at rudders for a new yacht I thought how poor the idea of bending the rudder at one point is ! The water has to stall on the upper...
I am glad someone is purchasing this yacht. It opened my mind to bi-pole rigs and started me doing figures for rig loads (a A frame does not need...
Thanks very much for that info. The pic's don't realy show the size and details of your rig. Have you any ? I am glad to here from someone who...
Now the interesting point is: Should the wing shapes point outwards or inwards. when going to windward the most exposed mast is the windward so...
Maybe she just did not perform as a hull. Info from people who sailed her would be interesting. I am comitted :o ( I should be !) to this type of...
Yes. I have been through the threads. Olaf has a few words but it does not do justice to the boat. A sailing comparison with other yachts of...
Yep. Got all that Brian. Could do with more from the people who sailed her as a comparison for windward performance. But I am sold on the idea and...
The new masts (inverted whishbones set as 'A' frames) on my boat are slight wing form made from a former as clam shells. Then externaly wrapped in...
The unstable vortice's of a round body are avoided by having a egg or slight wing form set of masts. This drops the unstable element. Cross spars...
Junk Rig I have 2 friends sailing round the world in a yacht (Ell Lobo). and find it a very easy, and more effective rig. They used to have a...
For a look at a new type 'A'frame. (Double wishbone 'A' frame) Go to the boat design gallery and put. Lionhart. (Lionhart of Hartlepool). It takes...
