Hi. We added the Bali Catsmart and the Aventura last November. The Bali 4.2 was already in the database when you sent the note.
We haven’t added the Thira 80 yet but will do it soon. Thanks for the reminder.I’m happy to mention that Mull designed Sorcery in his bio.
I’m guessing you know of this site but just in case, here’s a lot of information on Sorcery. Pics and articles… https://www.histoiredeshalfs.com/Maxis%20Monos/Sorceery.htm
My first boat was a Snipe. I’ve tried Lightnings but, to be honest, wasn’t a big fan. Most of my racing was J/24’s. Then I aged into Sonars. I’m now trying my hand at Melges 15 racing. Funny, my boats are getting smaller as I get older.
Thanks for reaching out. Very cool shot of your boat. I’m glad I don’t have to pull that spinnaker down!
Regarding listing your yacht, it’s our understanding that most, if not all, boats designed and built for IOR Maxi racing are one-off designs. Is that the case for Sorcery? Sailboatdata is a database of production or series built boats. We like to know at least three hulls were built from a design before we add the record.
There are a couple of exceptions but those are for historically significant designs.
If multiple hulls were built from Mull’s design, we’d be happy to add the record. Please just let us know.
Thanks,
Bruce
Hi Richard,
We think your best option is to contact someone at the Pearson Yachts Portal (https://www.pearsonyachts.org). It’s a terrific resource for all things Pearson.Some of this is way above my pay grade but what I can tell you is ballast is included in displacement. Also, it is very likely the boat’s actual displacement is greater than what the builder reported for a new build. Especially if the boat’s hull was underwater for months.
Our site is limited in that we can only display one rig type. In cases like this, we mention there are other rig options available in the Notes section.
For the Victoria 34, from the documents we saw, it appeared the rig type was the owners choice and neither was “standard.” So we reported the cutter rig and mentioned a sloop rig was also offered.
All that said, we changed the reported rig type to masthead sloop and mentored the cutter rig in the Notes.
Thanks again.
Hello Mintaka,
Thanks for reaching out.
Victoria Marine had Northshore build the hulls which were then fitted out by Victoria. We agree the way we were reporting that fact was confusing.
We’ve done some editing which will, hopefully, eliminate that confusion.
BruceWe found a Yorktown Yachts ad in the Jan. 1976 edition of Cruising World which indicates a 27 gal. fuel tank.
We hope the attached is not too small to read.Hello Roux,
Thanks for the heads-up on the Lacoste 42 specs. It appears we definitely had the ballast and rig measurements wrong.
Your image didn’t load as it appears the file size was too big, Currently we only allow images with a file size under 500 KB. We’re looking to increase that but in the meantime, if you can, please reduce the size of your image so we can see it.

Thanks again.
BruceThanks for reaching out Jose. We’ve corrected our typo (the correction may not show up on the home page search for a while but it will soon).
Hi Philippe, Thanks for reaching out and letting us know about the actual ballast on the Carter 37. We’ve updated the record to indicate a ballast of 2,850 kg.
BruceWe’ve added the FF95. you can see it here: https://sailboatdata.com/sailboat/ff95/
We did not see the file you tried to upload. We currently have a limit of 500 KB for images. If you want, please send your image to contact [at] sailboatdata [dot] com.
Thanks for sending us the info on the FF95.There’s a Jaguar Owners page on Facebook. That’s probably a good place to get answers: https://www.facebook.com/groups/JaguarYachts/
Also this page will take you to a list of Jaguar 27 owners with some contact links: http://jaguaryachts.co.uk.g8seq.com/owners.htmlHi Sam, The Endurance 35 and 37 are the same hull. What differentiates the two is the 35 is typically a ketch while the 37 is a cutter. There are also differences with the interior.
Also keep in mind, the Endurance was built by both amateur and professional builders so there will be some variation in the specifications boat to boat.
Hope this helps.
Hi Jim, We’ve updated our comment section to reflect a keel/cb for the Newport 15. We also added that four Buzzards Bay 15’s had fixed keels.
Like with the Fish class changes, in the brochure ca. 1936, Herreshoff reported slightly different beam and draft than what we had been showing. We’ve updated those as well.
