Yes, but we have to do it. If you know of a production boat (at least three hulls built) that is not in our database, let us know. Or, 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.
Here is our Sun Fast 40 page: https://sailboatdata.com/sailboat/sun-fast-40-jeanneau.
We found polars for one SF 40 here: http://jieter.github.io/orc-data/site/#FRA/FRA28384This is what we have on Sailboatdata.com: https://sailboatdata.com/sailboat/great-south-bay-shore-bird.
We also found a couple of pages on them in Sailing Craft, edited by Edwin J. Schoettle, © 1928 by the MacMillan company. Reissued January 1949. Pages 756-760 – Great South Bay Shore Birds by William Gill.Hello. It’s a little hard to tell from your description. From what we can find, hull #181 was built around 1970. Any chance you have the HIN (hull ID number)?
Have you been to the Grampian Owners Site? Perhaps you can find someone to help there? http://www.grampianowners.comWe have a record here: https://sailboatdata.com/sailboat/rumba-escape
It is our understanding that, while not 100% of the time, the boats sold in Germany were called Kolibri. The boats imported to the US were primarily sold as Koralle Jr.
Hello Nick, Yachting Monthly posted a review of the 36S in 1986. If I’m reading it correctly, according to them the pice was £60,000 to £90,000 depending on the options.
Hi Don, Jeanneau put the generator in aft, port side of the 44DS. Access is through bulkheads in the aft cabin. Since it was an option, many buyers chose not to have one.
Hello Michael, there is a Vindo owner’s site you should check out. Maybe someone there can help? Here’s the link: http://www.vindonet.org.uk/index.html
Hello everyone. I wanted to say that Matt did an amazing job for us. So amazing, in fact, that he was hired away and so no longer works on this project which is so near and dear to our hearts. Matt is a great and talented guy and had a big impact on Sailboatdata.com.
Most times it’s nearly impossible to find the answer to “What boat is this?” but as they say, even a blind squirrel finds a nut now and then.
Here’s information we found in Sailboat Buyers’ Guide by Alan Chappell © 1983 and an archived vdrestnautic.nl website…
The boat is a Dutch Flyer 28 imported into the US by Holland Yachts which was located in MD. Holland Yachts went out of business in 1988. The boat is called a Piewiet 850 in the Netherlands. All boats from this yard were designed by Mr. Van der Rest.
We have created a new record for this boat. You can find it here: https://sailboatdata.com/sailboat/piewiet-850
Hope this helps.
