(Converted to Digital Format by Harvey J. Karten) Dear Friends, Right This Tayana Owners Group (TOG) Newsletter #34 Spring 1987 Norm Demain 3644 Holmes View Drive Langley, WA 98260 (206) 221-8934 (Converted to digital format by Harvey J. Karten) Dear Friends, Right this minute would be an excellent time to decide to attend our August 1&2 TOG gathering to be held on Whidbey Island in the Puget Sound area. There is ample anchorage for those who can come by boat, and lots of attractive Bed & Breakfast spots in the area close to my house for those of you not coming by boat. Rather than take up space here with the details, I would ask those of you who are interested to write or call me real soon and I'll fill you in. HALF A TAYANA IS BETTER THAN NONE My hat is off to Carl & Laura Lundqvist who sent in this letter, "My wife and I have purchased the remains of a Tayana 37 that sunk during Hurricane Gloria September 1985. (Mr.Hunt's "Paragon" hull #449) The boat (or what's left of it) now sits in our back yard in Portsmouth, VA awaiting lots of tender love and care, plus a whole lot of work. The boat was Beverly damaged against a concrete pier on the port side while the starboard side only has a few scratches. The damage on the port side is briefly as follows: Half the deck is gone from bow to stern, including the cockpit. The stern quarter is missing all the way down to the rudder. In the bow is a hole big enough to walk through, from the keel up to the deckline. The rest of the port side looks like a hard boiled egg that just finished a tennis tournament. But! there is hope for her. My wife and I have already started grinding away delaminated areas and are now waiting for warmer weather to arrive so we can start rebuilding the laminate. 1 Needless to say the interior is severely damaged and what is left has to be removed to provide accessibility for repairs. So we are looking at a whole new interior. We have started to design a new layout that is more suitable for our needs as liveaboards and as a long range cruiser for one couple. Basically we are moving the head/shower aft (opposite the galley) which will open up the interior and make it easier to heat in the cold and also provide a better air flow when in the tropics. We are also planning for a hard top dodger with semi-inside steering for protection against extreme weather." Carl has offered to write anyone interested in his project. (Do you think we should have offered him a half price membership?) CRUISING REPORTS In newsletter #32 we left Gary & Barbara Coit aboard "Spirit of Pipit" on the island of Crete on their way to the U.S. after three years on the European side of the Atlantic. "There was wind to sail about 25% of the 500 miles from Iraklion to Syracuse in eastern Sicily; the rest was hand steering under power. However in Syracuse we did find enough electronic parts to get the AMS autopilot working about 90% properly so it steered the 615 miles from Marsala in western Sicily to Alicante, Spain, sort of wandering like a drunken sailor. We provisioned for the Atlantic crossing in Alticante because of convenience and prices at the markets which were the best we saw in the Med. The trip along the SE-S coasts of Spain was slow because of strong adverse winds that kept us in harbor at least 50% of the time. At Motril we took a bus to Grenada to see the spectacular Alhambra and its gardens. We rented a car for a week at La Duquesa to tour Andalusia: Sevilla, Cordoba, Ubeda, Ronda. What a beautiful and interesting trip! Gibraltar is rather grubby we thought, but it has a good chandelry, engine parts, and certain groceries that are hard to find elsewhere in the Med. We left Gibraltar and had a fairly nice trip to Madeira. Worst part was threading our way through the dozens of trawlers and endless fish nets astride the entrance to the Gibraltar Straight. Madeira is a stunningly beautiful island with very nice people and bargain prices. Next to the Canary Islands: Las Palmas and Mogan on Gran Canaria; Los Christianos on Tenerife and San Sebastian on Gomera. All very pleasant stops with excellent fresh fruit, vegetables and eggs. It's a 2700 mile run from the Canaries to Barbados and usually takes 21-28 days. The first week we had strong NE'erlys and made excellent time flying mostly only the genoa, and visions arose of a 17 day passage. But some big swells (10-18') arrived from a depression far to the north and they slowed us down a lot since we rolled so much the sails just kept filling and dumping. This was followed by some days with very light winds , and then, finally, fairly normal trades. In the end we took 22 days, all in all a pleasant sail, certainly far more pleasant than our eastward crossing in 1983. We have done 2 2 very little downwind sailing and have no special sails for that purpose.The genny alone worked well, but eventually it ripped near the tack, where it was draped across the pulpit. The main and poled out genny Wong out as we say in the Chesapeake Bay) did well enough in the light winds. Main and yankee, wung out, did pretty well in heavier airs. The yankee by itself was inadequate in the winds we had- up to 25 knots. We spent much time trying to determine the relative advantage of running downwind with the jib blanketed and ineffective versus broad reaching. The latter is probably faster. Running downwind and using the main for power and sheeting the jib down tight amidsships does help dampen the rolling. Two cruising chutes, one large and one medium, might have been an ideal solution. There have been a few problems with the boat. The forward seal on the BorgWarner transmission was leaking so in Alicante we raised the Perkins engine and deposited it on the cabin sole, unbolted the transmission, replaced the seal and put everything back in place. To raise the engine we supported the boom with two halyards taken up very tight and the boom gallows and fastened a block and tackle from the boom to the aft end of the engine. Also needed two more comealongs to move the engine fore and aft as desired,one attached to the mast and the other to the rudder post. It wasn't too difficult; Barbara and I were able to do it without outside help. The bad news was that the transmission was still leaking oil so we had to repeat the whole procedure. It turned out that I had somehow nicked the seal and that was the problem. We decided to have the whole transmission checked out by a mechanic this time. He found nothing wrong, not even much sign of wear, but replaced all the orings and other perishables. He charged only $45 for labor but the parts, plus a new vibration damper plate, cost $200 because of the high Spanish import duty. Had to rebuild the seawater pump once. No problem except the parts -seals, bearings, and shaft- are extremely difficult to find in Europe because the English Perkins uses a Jabsco pump and mine is a Sherwood. Our starter began malfunctioning in Sicily. It would turn the engine about 4 turn then disengage. I had it out at least 20 times, but couldn't t figure it out so turned it over to a mechanic in Alicante who couldn't either; he only destroyed the solenoid, which had been fine. The repair shop did no better so I borrowed the starter off neighbor's engine and found that the pinion gear in the starter is mounted on a slip clutch (in a little sealed cylinder) and it was slipping, not disengaging. Surely it was slipping because it was soaked in transmission fluid. Cot a new one from the distributor in Madrid and presto! But the parts were not cheap. Only other problem with the engine has been the temperature sending unit which failed.Couldn't find one so we are doing without it, relying on the overheating alarm to warn us of trouble. All in all not too many problems for an engine with 5000 hours on it. But carry lots of spares if you go abroad. After seven years and over 27,000 miles (mostly in sub-tropical sun) our Lam sails are getting tired, but still going. Only two swages in the rigging have started to crack in the past 3 years. Now we are slowly replacing all with Stalok terminals. Should have gotten them to begin with, they are far better I think (and a lot cheaper if you order them from England). All in all not so many problems considering the use the boat has had. In many ways it's better now than new.0ur satnav has been a great aid and the ham radio, as always, is a joy as well as a security blanket. Editors note: Spirit of Pipit is back in the Chesapeake now being readied for a long trip to Maine this summer. In the spring of '88 the Coit's plan to sell their house and embark on a real long trip. 3 3 CRUISING REPORTS (con’t) 2.

  • Chapter 5, MAKING the SAIL.Pdf
    Chapter 5 (..of The Cambered Panel Junk Rig...) Making the sail .. lofting, cutting and sewing... With a sail plan in hand you should be ready for the actual production process. As an example we’ll use the sail plan (sheet 1 to 6) that once was the basis for Johanna’s sail. As you can see, the plans are not much more than sketches, but they are still good enough to work from. This sail was actually made by a local sail maker (except for the corners, batten hoops and loops), so a short instruction followed the plans. (.. they screwed up completely, so had to do it all over again. Hopefully this instruction will be more complete and let you avoid the pitfalls they fell in...) How to use this chapter: This chapter has definitely been written for the doers, not for the arm-chair readers. Instead of squeezing in small diagrams among the text here, I have put them in the end of it. I suggest you print out at least the diagrams so that you can have them side by side the text. Since they are full size, you will have space for adding your own notes on them too. I also attach Johanna’s sail plan at the very end of this chapter. Try to read the chapter 2-3 times and take notes. Then make the sail in your head before setting to work .. pattern for Broremann’s lower panels... All photos are of Broremann’s sail unless noted. The basic layout of Broremann’s and Johanna’s sail is the same.
