  • The Weather Helm Issue (Rev 20 02 2020)
    Corbin 39 – the weather helm issue (rev 20 02 2020) Synopsis The subject of weather helm comes up repeatedly when discussing the Corbin 39 and not all of the folklore is justified. This note attempts to summarise the issue and to relate it to sufficient evidence, and to qualitative theory, that we can be reasonably certain of the situation. Remember - It is possible to overpower a yacht and induce weather helm, what we are trying to do is identify excessive weather helm. The key take-away is that the excessive weather helm was a genuine issue, which affected all the mk1 cutters irrespective of whether they were equipped with the taller double-spreader mast or the shorter single-spreader mast, provided that the mast was set in the intended aft mast position. Perhaps this was worse in the mk1 tallmast vs the mk1 shortmast, but we are not at all certain of that. All the mk1’s that had the forestay relocated onto a 3-foot long bowsprit were later able to alleviate this to an extent. The mk 1’s that have reduced the area of their main by shortening the mainsail boom & foot (or used in-mast furling) have reportedly completely eliminated this weather helm. All other versions including the mk1 ketches and all the mk2 cutters & ketches appear to be completely unaffected. This is the first openly published version of this analysis. Previous drafts were incomplete and drew erroneous conclusions in some areas due to an absence of reliable data. That has now been overcome as further evidence has come forwards, and so there are material differences between this version and previous drafts.

  • Repairing Damage to Keels, Skegs, and Rudders
    Corbin 39 : Repairing Damage To Keels, Skegs, And Rudders In 2019/2020 a couple of Corbins have carried out very similar repairs to their keels, the rudder skeg, and the rudder itself, and they have kindly shared their experiences with us, along with some information from others. We know, from written responses by Marius Corbin that the aft end of the keel is not structural: The keel and the hull were built and laminated together, and so is the bottom of the keel. The center of the hull, including the keel, had additional layers put in and in order to do so, and since the back end of the keel is so narrow, we had to fill the aft end with putty (about 2 feet). Additional layers were then put in. Therefore, the aft end of the keel is not structural and is considered sacrificial. Consequently, when damaged, you only need to fill the damaged part with putty and cover the repair with a couple of layers of fiberglass. The bottom should be repaired using alternating layers of 24 ounce woven roving and 1.5 ounce mat, starting laminations with mat. There are many layers on the bottom and you only need to replace whatever was damaged. But, putting too much is better protection for future groundings (I know, I know, you never ground…). Personally, I would put a minimum of 10 layers of alternating mat and roving and finish with 2 layers of mat. At 1/32 of an inch each you should have 1/4 to 3/8 of an inch thick.

  • Corbin 39 Study – Theoretical Analysis - Initial Results Re Weather Helm Study by Jean-Francois Masset, Introduction by David Sharman Rev 12Th April 2020
    1 / 16 Corbin 39 Study – Theoretical Analysis - Initial Results re Weather Helm Study by Jean-Francois Masset, introduction by David Sharman rev 12th April 2020 Working document This is a working document setting out the interim results of an ongoing study into various aspects of the Corbin 39. We think it is worthwhile communicating results as they arise so as to obtain feedback from the Corbin 39 community. The initial focus of the study is into weather helm. Future areas of interest are hoped to include loading and trim, stability, sailing performance and seaworthiness, and to document hull form and its hydrostatics. The theoretical results to date are in agreement with the practical observations of Corbin owners. Because this is a working document it may contain errors, and will change. Jean-Francois Masset and Gene-Hull Most of this study is carried out by Jean-Francois Masset who is a retired naval architect who has most generously given his time and knowledge to assist the Corbin 39 community. He has developed a design programme called “Gene-Hull” in a spreadsheet format that is ordinarily used for early stage yacht design when there are a lot of design options under consideration, before down-selecting into detailed studies of a preferred design. However in this study Gene-Hull is being repurposed to analyse the many different sail & spar layouts that the Corbin 39 was built with, and then to theoretically assess the performance and the development options open to each layout. We owe Jean-Francois many thanks for his most kind support to our community.

  • High-Low-Mean PHRF Handicaps
    UNITED STATES PERFORMANCE HANDICAP RACING FLEET HIGH, LOW, AND AVERAGE PERFORMANCE HANDICAPS IMPORTANT NOTE The following pages list low, high and average performance handicaps reported by USPHRF Fleets for over 4100 boat classes/types. Using Adobe Acrobat’s ‘FIND” feature, <CTRL-F>, information can be displayed for each boat class upon request. Class names conform to USPHRF designations. The source information for this listing also provides data for the annual PHRF HANDICAP listings (The Red, White, & Blue Book) published by the UNITED STATES SAILING ASSOCIATION. This publication also lists handicaps by Class/Type, Fleet, Confidence Codes, and other useful information. Precautions: Handicap data represents base handicaps. Some reported handicaps represent determinations based upon statute rather than nautical miles. Some of the reported handicaps are based upon only one handicapped boat. The listing covers reports from affiliated fleets to USPHRF for the period March 1995 to June 2008. This listing is updated several times each year.
