Matagi 1,450 Posted January 19 Share Posted January 19 This is 'Vrijheid', it was built in the Netherlands in 1931 and refurbed in 2015 - 2017. What's so special about this boat is, that she is the first boat of 'Kapitein Rob', a dutch cartoon series that was apparently very popular among dutch readers in the fifties and sixties. Talk about comic heroes come to life. So Batman is real, I knew it. Here is more. 6 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

accnick 1,737 Posted January 20 Share Posted January 20 21 hours ago, Bob Perry said: As of Tuesday we are now moving ahead with a slightly larger version of this design. Different layout. Longer LOA. Different stern treatment. So, here's a question for you. Sailboats typically have a cockpit capable of holding several people. This boat does not, which is fine if its goal is high-latitude cruising. Looking at the accommodations, it is not designed for a single person. When underway, but not necessarily on passage, where does a second person sit to see what's going on ahead of the boat? This question is not unique to this boat. A lot of powerboats have the same issue unless they have a large pilothouse with a forward-facing settee behind the helmsman, or room for a second pilot chair. It is possible to solve this conundrum, even on a 34-footer like ours. As with most design decisions, it's a matter of priorities. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

pschwenn 13 Posted January 21 Share Posted January 21 On 12/17/2014 at 3:41 PM, QBF said: Here is cool boat designed by one of Cruising Anarchy's resident designers, Yves-Marie de Tanton. This model is a 12-meter (40') MBCC (Modern British Channel Cutter) that was built in steel in Turkey. http://tantonyachtdesign.blogspot.com/2013/11/launching.html On 12/17/2014 at 4:24 PM, Sailbydate said: Shame about that cabin and coach roof design. She definitely could have been much sweeter looking without any loss of functionality, IMO. On 12/17/2014 at 4:43 PM, Bob Perry said: As much of a YMT fan as I am I think I'll go with Sailby on that cabin trunk. That forward raking windshield is a very strong design element and has to be done with finesse and care. It's subjective. I can assure you that this will be a very good sailing boat and that's objective. [post moved to this more relevant exchange] As many remark here, a pilothouse with a reverse face can be displeasing; often looks too Tug and not enough Sailboat. (Some make Tug look good.) And any part of the roof line fighting the sheer will likely make for even less of Sailboat . Part of too Tug is an often imposing flat face - which at yacht deck level, added to the reverse invites broken (or small, less functional) panes when green water comes aft, the impact concentrated by the no-exit shape. I proposed the shape as a possible (minus the excess flare aft corner) for the hull (about 68'), rig (75' cutter) and fins shown, as having no workboat flavor, giving green water a way by, and the sheer happy with the roof line. There's a single curved pane forward and a raised entry aft into a broad potentially bright refuge for cockpit crew. Perhaps unsurprisingly the boat was built with a very handsome & polished pilothouse by Tanton. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
