Former MDR Vandal 1 3 #1302 Posted October 16, 2018 Surprised that Weapon would add a pedestal. Saw those results … not familiar with the other boats so hard to gauge. Also, it sounds like they are still working the boat up. Did Young Guns have good corrected finishes? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Also, it sounds like they are still working the boat up. Did Young Guns have good corrected finishes? It’s not a bad idea the pedestal. If you think about it, the grinder is always on the Center line of the boat so your not having to compensate the weight on the rail and they should be able to trim faster and longer with the grinder than hand winching. If you look at what they have spent builting the boat as well the cost of the pedestal isn’t that much and it’s probably a lighter option than power winches and extra batteries.

Former MDR Vandal 1 3 #1305 Posted October 17, 2018 The advantage of the pedestal would be if the primaries have a turbo gear you would have a great assist in the jibes. Also, if the pedestal linked to the pit winch (and the pit winch had a turbo gear) you could have high speed hoists and possibly string drops (they have a roller for a string drop). Where the spin grinder is located seems to be a minimal (or even non-existent) advantage. If on a tight reach, just transfer the spin sheet to the weather winch and now you have the grinder in a more advantageous spot for boat (heel) trim. The disadvantages are the additional weight of the system and the fact that it takes away the advantage of a wide open cockpit by cluttering it up with the pedestal. Wouldn’t want to buoy race with the pedestal right in the path of the on side and off side trimmers. Also, its proximity to the companionway (yes, I realize the opening is off-set for the lifting keel) would still impede any sails coming up from below. To me it is a pass due to weight and ergonomics but I remain open minded if there are pluses I haven’t covered. Were more than 2 FB 35’s built? Any idea where Young Guns is heading?

Price just tripled. Oh that's right, he thinks that just because I could get away with "set and forget" sail trim with my old cruiser, that i would try to get away with the same approach with Corum, or any light weight racer for that matter. Perhaps he's right because you can't teach old dogs new tricks. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Given that it is 25yo and would have had a hard life in it's early days, I'd have to be a bit wary that it might be a bit soft these days. Would certainly need a good surveyor. Cosmetically it is great. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Cosmetically it is great. Any boat that age is subject to the same problem. Difference here is you are talking about a Cookson build so one of the best choices you can make for a quality initial build, plus the boat has had TLC over the years so in terms of 25 year old gear that floats its likely a cut above. Everything is a compromise, and old race boats are no exception. This boat ticks all your boxes, but we all know you aren't interested in closing this thread anytime soon...

That being said it is certainly a manageable 2 week trip along some potentially fantastic cruising grounds and what better way to gain experience than a delivery trip? Plus by the time you get to Bass Straight you should know if the boat is going to fall apart or not, maybe in time to has for a full refund Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
