Hello, Sorry we missed your post. Please send any info you have on the Windrush 700. Best is to send it to: contact [at] SailboatData [dot] com
Thanks!Hello Jarv, We’ve added a record for the Swanson 28. We used the metric specs you reported. Based on the metric numbers, your conversion to imperial are not accurate in each case, effecting the performance ratios you have reported.
Are your specs documented somewhere (ex. builder’s brochure or owners manual)? If so, we’d love to see a copy.
Thanks for reaching out.
William Garden’s book “Yacht Designs” © 1998 by Tiller Publishing has several pages on the Porpoise. These include drawings and, while hard to read, sail dimensions.
That said, it is never a good idea to have sails made from dimensions found in a book. For best results, measure your boat’s rig yourself. Or, as psk125 suggests, contact a sailmaker.Hello Oliver, thanks for letting us know about the changes to the Impala 28. We have created a new record we’re calling the 28-2 (https://sailboatdata.com/sailboat/impala-28-2-thomas) which incorporates the changes to the ballast, displacement and the addition of the inboard option.
Hello Don,
We have to do it. If the boat was in production (at least three hulls built), send us the specs with documentation (we do not use specs from For Sale ads). It could be a builder’s brochure, a page from an owner’s manual, a link to the the builder’s website, etc. and we’ll add it.
Our email is contact [at] SailboatData [dot] comWe do not have detailed plans. Have you tried https://ericsonyachts.org/ie/home/? They have lots of great information. Plus, joining the group might connect you with people who can help.
Well we are halfway there. We have a link on the site which opens the Forum in a new tab. To be honest, it never occurred to us to have a link from the Forum to the site. Ugh.
Good idea. It won’t be a quick fix but it will happen.
Thanks David.
Quick update:
I’ve added a note in the Hunter 22-2 record indicating it is a complete redesign of the 1981 H22 and now called the Marlow-Hunter 22.
I’ve also added a link to your new owner’s association.
Hope this helps.While what you are saying is accurate for 22’s built after 2012, here are our thoughts…
Marlow purchased Hunter Marine in 2012 and changed the company name to Marlow-Hunter at that time. The new version 22 was launched in 2010, two years before, and was simply called the Hunter 22. As we can not give two records the same name, we added the -2 designation to differentiate the new version form the original 22 launched in 1981.
Changing the name of records years after they are created is problematic as it will effect search engine results as well as bookmarks which will cease to work. For this reason we only do it when absolutely necessary.
As the original name of the 2010 model was Hunter 22, not Marlow-Hunter 22, we feel the best solution in this case is to leave the record as it is. We are confident, in doing so, anyone looking for this record will still be able to find it with minimal effort. We hope you agree.
Thanks for reaching out. We appreciate your input.
Kind regards.
Hi Ary, We were able to find some basic information on the Dynamic 4000 and have created a record. You can find it here: https://sailboatdata.com/sailboat/dynamic-4000
Hope this helps.
Hello Kai, Apologies for the delayed response. To be honest, it was due to a combination of vacation travel and, frankly, your post falling through the cracks. I’ll be taking a closer look at this in the next day or so.
I did take a quick look and, it would appear, our record for the Oceanis 352 is very similar to the upgraded 351 and could be the same boat. However our specs do not completely match the information you posted so I need to sort this out.
Thanks for reaching out.
