What is it, PNW?

[wristwister 70]

Any of you locals know anything about this beast?

 

I was up in Anacortes moving my boat back to her slip and this monster came by, being towed into place by a couple dinghys. I asked the guys working her if it was a new boat and if it was built in Anacortes, yes on both counts. I'd estimate it to be around 80 feet. Can't say I'm enamored by her lines, but I'd give my left nut to take her through the islands for a week.

Mid West owner...looks good.

[steele 90]

It kind of looks like a J111 pumped up to 100 psi. Once loaded and on it's lines with the rig on it should look better, but still too much freeboard.

Raceboats don't need freeboard, fast passagemakers do.

 

I like it.

[Great Red Shark 355]

If it IS the Donovan project, that is one that has been in-build for 4+ years now I think. Looks pretty good though, you gotta admit - the guy can draw a boat.

From Sail Magazine:

"in Anacortes, Washington, White Knight Yachts is building an 87-footer to a Jim Donovan design. The new T4 cruiser-racer maxi, as its being called, will feature a lifting keel, hydraulic winches, a carbon rig, dual helms and an expansive teak deck."

Tbone is correct. That is the project that has been dragging on in Anacortes for the last few years. It's heading north to have the interior finished as I heard.

That 60 days starts after it has been commissioned and delivery to the owner has taken place,

Although I don't know the final closing status on this boat.

[DDW 480]

I believe the owner completed this boat on his own. So the 60 days starts when it "enters the waters of the state of Washington".

Good luck tacking her through any of the passes, or anchoring her in any of the scenic bays. She's be great offshore, in the bahamas or S.Pac. Useless in the SJI's.

I can't think of any place. With a non-overlapping headsail you could doublehand that thing all over the SJI's. It would be a blast.

It's difficult enough with a 40'er getting around the Salish. Lack of winds and lots of boat traffic makes sailing a challenge. Multiply that by linear feet and you end up with a motorsailor instead of enjoyable passage. Most tacks last no more than fifteen minutes, if there is even wind.

It's quite easy to get around the Salish in a large boat properly designed for it. That would be one without sails and with a reliable diesel motor. Sails are relatively useless where there is no wind, unless you are in love with the romance of having them furled on the boom. I have seen such proper PNW vessels 175' long even up the Malibu Straights in Princess Louisa - mind you that would take some balls.

I've had some great conditions in the Salish, but overall I found myself motoring more than sailing. Gotta catch the tides right getting across the Strait, or through the pass, or before the winds die. Let's not forget the usual encounter with aggressive ferry boat captains. I moved to San Diego and have been sailing a ton more due to the spectacular sailing conditions and infinite amount of sea room for long tacks. Instead of tacking a bazillion times to go north, I just stay on one tack until I'm a little more than half way there, then tack back. Wow. Easy.

That is a pretty good stat you provided about the winds on the Salish Sea! Who would have ever guessed they could be so consistent. That must be why a well designed sailboat for that area really needs a 182 deg AVS...

You'll spend far less time motoring this big boat than a typical 40' cruising boat. Far less.

 

Can't agree on the lack of wind and traffic making sailing a challenge. We sail the majority of the time. Helps to have a boat that sails well in light air.

 

15 minutes on one tack is a long time if you spend any time racing.

 

I guess we just see it differently. The boat would be a blast for us in the Salish. For you, maybe not.

Too funny. We moved from the PNW to San Diego and found sailing in SD incredibly boring. Mostly light winds, large swell, and nowhere to go. You just sailed out until you got bored and then turned around. Much prefer the variety of passes and channels in the Salish. Lots of sail handling keeps it intersting.

Nobody can snoop out a little puff and take advantage of it like a PNW racer. I'm still way behind the learning curve on this. My strategy, if the good racers are all going in a weird direction that makes no sense to me, trust them and go there too.

[Alex W 201]

That doesn't always work in tricky conditions. Look at the results from yesterday. I have to wonder how much racing you've done here to form that opinion.

 

I love the puzzle of racing here, even on frustrating light air days when I get a dnf. I still have a lot to learn out here.

Reverse starts make that strategy trickier, until they pass you.  Then it works.....until you can't see them any more.  Oh well.

Sailing a deep draft race boat around the SJIs or Gulf Islands is a delight.  Our basic approach has been to leave the awning up and just use a jib or spinnaker depending on direction.  Motor through lees or channels.  Look at the chart occasionally.  The main is an annoyance, mostly. 

That T4 boat should be a lot of fun, but Cascadia is still prettier.

That was the first thing that popped into my mind Ish. I doubt they had enough breaker panels in T4 to justify a seizure on that scale!. 

     Who was that boat built for? It seemed like towing it to Canada in such a incomplete state was a desperate move to prevent just such a seizure.

Jim was more than happy to walk away from that project. It cost him his shop space but he's in a better location now. I wonder if Donovan ever got paid in full?

The scenery is outstanding. The sailing, not so much, depending on your reference frame. 

I have a pretty good light air boat, and have sailed it there from April - November, so not strictly in Winter. 

Outstanding sailing first and foremost requires dependable wind. 

[wristwister 70]

38 minutes ago, DDW said:

Depends on your definition of outstanding sailing. A perfect constant breeze from a constant direction sure makes for simple planning and fast sailing. Yeah, that's fun and all. But when your route from point A to point B is filled with wind shifts around every point of land and tricky currents to be negotiated ... well, maybe I'm a masochist, but I think that's a BLAST!  Hoisting your entire sail inventory in one race, rail in the water intermixed with bobbing aimlessly on glass, using an anchor as a racing tool ... love it!

[DDW 480]

That's true, while racing you are all in the same boat so to speak. For cruising, less obvious fun. You are trying to get from point A to point B before the season ends. Daysailing off of Port Townsend, or Seattle, or a few other places where there is occasionally wind is fun. There's a reason, though, that in the Age of Sail people trying to get somewhere stuck to places where there is wind. 

[jackolantern 403]

BUMP

[soling2003 5]

You don’t need tons of wind to cruise in the SJ’s.  Everything is so close, if you go to fast, you won’t have time to sail.  Which is why you have a sailboat, right?  Cruising in the BVI’s for the most part, with great trade winds everyday, is ok, but you have to almost sail around a few extra hours so you don’t get to the next bay too fast!

I have cruised there in everything from a Tanzer 22 to a Cal 46 and most things in between.All is good.  We sold our Peterson 37 when we move to Hawaii.  Sure, we have trade winds most the time, great sailing.  Warm water, warm weather.  Sun.  But no where to go!  But can have great Laser sailing in the ocean with breeze!

Now, back to this new big boat.  What is up with it now????

Yes. It’s anoter amazing tale of rich people with no ethics. Be glad your brainchild isn’t arrested under Admiralty  Court...

Yes, the boat burnt. Some interest after. But the inspiration came from Ray Hunt and Hunt Yacht Design. My fiberglass version is interesting by her method of construction. www.tantonyachtdesign.com  Boat Plans.
