Pocket cruising boats

Pockety-pocket cruisers...

Searching for info on the Puma 23, I found also this in Good Old Boat's: A comprehensive list of really small pocket cruisers.
ShortyPen's Sailboat Pocket Cruiser Guide

 

Jester challenge

Delightful pages, outstanding race and seafaring people.

....It might be well to remember the words of Jack Odling-Smee, the Chairman of the original race committee: “…the concept of the race (is) to defeat the ocean rather than the other competitors."

thank you

 

Speaking of Nor'Sea yachts, What became of them?
I found their website once and sent a few e-mails but never got any replies, Also to the owners groups drew no response.

Very nice numbers, indeed!

 

That is the site I've looked at before. It does seem to have been updated a little so I've tried sending them another e-mail.
Last time I sent several e-mails to the company as well as names mentioned in the owners group and never received a single reply.

Anyone here mentioned the Rhodes 22. Unsinkable, impossible to turtle, suberb sailing hardware, spacious cockpit, cruising appointments, and one of the most brilliantly designed cabins on a '22.

 

Using numbers at http://www.rhodes22.com/spec.html , I get for the Rhodes 22:

Length/Beam ratio (Lfl+Lh)/2B = 2,63
Ballast/Disp Ratio Ball/Disp = 0,24
Displacement/Length Ratio D/L = 161,47
Sail Area/Disp. Ratio SA/D = 16,52
Power/ Disp. Ratio HP/D = 6,9 HP/ton
Hull speed HSPD = 5,99 Kn
Potential Maximum Speed PMS = 6,8 Kn

Excellent site, skyl4rk. Thanks for the info.

 

Don Cameron has kindly told me about the Pacific Pilot motorsailer (27'), designed by William Gardner.
I've found very little information in the net about it, just a few numbers constant in this ad: http://www.yachtworld.com/boats/1563031/0 which corresponde to Pacific Pilot 21, not the 27.
I attach a Pacific Pilot 27's photo also kindly provided by Don, who owns "Magnus", a very nice and seaworthy Viksund 33 MS.
You may find his very interesting pages on his boat at:
http://www.silverdonaldcameron.ca/magnus.html

Someone knows more about this Pacific Pilot boat?

 

Here an stylish and interesting concept.

Would like to know more data for her...
