kimbottles 362 #7302 Posted October 10, 2013 furler now installed so we can map out the route of the under-deck furling line. I think I have most of it figured out, all except that all important "where it appears in the cockpit problem". No worries we have a bunch of experienced hands now working on this phase of the project and I am sure we will come up with some clever. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

kimbottles 362 #7304 Posted October 10, 2013 Tides Strong Track System has arrived and will go on mast soon. Sail maker and I decided on full length battens for all battens today instead of just the top two or three. The delivery sails are coming first 10 ounce Dacron main and 9 ounce Dacron jib. Good old fashion durable sails. Fancy sails will be considered later after we sort her out and get to know her better. Several sail cloth makers (who will not be named) were rather worried about what they considered too much vessel stability for some of the other options we considered. I guess the 10 foot keel with bulb kind of freaked them out a bit. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Can you put it out for all to see? I'd love to port my computer through my big stereo. Ish, Apple Airplay. If you have optical audio on your hifi use an AppleTV device, if not use an Airport Express. The Express has a 1/8 stereo mini plug audio output. Use a cable with 1/8 mini on one end and stereo RCA on the other which connects to the hifi. The computer connects to the stereo via wired or wireless ethernet, compatible with either of the Apple devices. On iOS devices like an iphone or ipad the Music app and others like Pandora have the ability to route sound to the devices connected to your stereo. On a computer there is a piece of software called Airfoil that routes the sound associated with a browser or any other Windows computer app via Airplay. Further, if you have an Apple TV and have connected it to a TV using HDMI not only the sound but the picture can be sent via Airplay (works for iOS devices but Airfoil just routes sound). Also, wired ethernet is recommended for video. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Ishmael 2,259 #7345 Posted October 10, 2013 No, there's something specific. Kim's pix are either really good balance or that hideous mercury vapor look.

The 24 HP Volvo sail-drive in my Swede 55 drove her to 9+ knots WOT and cruised easy at 8+ knots. The Swede weighed about the same as the Francis Lee how ever the FL has FIFTEEN feet more waterline at about the same beam (9'10" vs 9'8") as the Swede, so I suspect the Yanmar will drive the FL to 10+ knots at WOT and cruise at 9+ knots. The Swede had a two blade MaxiProp and the FL will have a four blade MaxiProp. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

(Pardon if this was asked before but with 70+ pages it would take me a week to re-read...) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
