    Thanks rp. We stand corrected.

    in reply to: windrider 17 and windrider Rave #91069

    These are two completely different designs. The main difference being the Rave is a foiling trimaran.
    To get a more complete picture of the differences, go to Sailboats, search Windrider, then select the “+” next to each boat. Then select Compare to see the differences.

    Thanks for reaching out Geert. We have updated the record for the Little Harbor 38.
    Best,

    Hi Jim,

    **I was not accurate with my initial response. The following response has been edited for accuracy.

    The good news is what you are asking for in #1 and #3 is what we have. As you know, the US uses the Imperial System for measurements while most of the world uses the Metric system. Prior to converting to metric, the UK, Canada and others used the British Imperial system. The British and US Imperial systems are the same (for the specs we use on the site) except with regard to volume. The US Imperial gallon is different from the British Imperial gallon. In an attempt to avoid confusion between the two, we labeled the choice US Imperial. What we are reporting in US Imperial is the “customary” US gallon. We also report US pounds.

    For #2, sorry but we are going to keep reporting fractions for length. When we input a record, we input either imperial or metric then the admin automatically converts to the other. The reality is a length reported like 6’8″ doesn’t convert easily or exactly to metric. The only way to be accurate is to use fractions, in this case 6.67′ which converts to 2.03 meters.

    Granted it is a little harder to interpret, but it is more accurate.

    Hope this helps.

    in reply to: What about pre-2000 Catalina C400s???? #90998

    Hi Craig,

    Thanks for the heads-up that we didn’t have a record for the Catalina 400 built beginning in 1994. We’ve added the record which you can find here: https://sailboatdata.com/sailboat/catalina-400/

    Hi Pekrno

    Thank you for the Seadog brochure.
    We are not sure what you are asking? Are you letting us know the ballast material is cast iron?

    Tak for Seadog-brochuren.
    Vi er ikke sikre på, hvad du spørger om? Fortæller du os, at ballastmaterialet er støbejern?

    in reply to: Marlow Hunter #90973

    Apparently. Looking into it, Marlow-Hunter sold its manufacturing facility in Alachua, Fl to A&M Manufacturing, builders of power and pontoon boats, in 2021 (?). A&M continued to offer Marlow-Hunter branded trailer-sailers, 15-22 feet but it is unclear if any were actually built.
    The Marlow-Hunter website appears to have been taken down in June this year.

    in reply to: Jolly Roger 23 displacement discrepancy #90901

    Thanks for the heads-up. Any chance you can send us a pic of the brochure? If it’s too big a file for the forum, can you send it to contact@sailboatdata.com?
    Thanks,
    Bruce

    in reply to: CC38 MK3 rudder #90893

    Hi Emily, Two suggestions…

    Here’s a C&C resource:http://www.cncphotoalbum.com. It looks like they have a database of 38 MK3 owners (after opening up the owners database you have to scroll all the way down to see the MK3’s). Perhaps there is some information or someone you can reach out to from there?

    Also, this site has two advertisers whose business is rudders. Either one may have a template or at least knowledge of the rudder/keel relationship.

    Hope this helps.

    in reply to: Hull Construction 1976 C&C 24 #90861

    The attached is from a C&C 24 builder’s brochure. It indicates the deck has a balsa core but the hull is single unit moulded fiberglass.

    in reply to: Windrider 17 correction #90855

    Thanks for the heads-up. We’ve corrected the record for the Windrider 17.

    My two cents… 5500 lbs seems high for a 20 footer. We’ve got one over 4,000 lbs in the database. It’s the Blackwater 18 first built in the 1930’s. All wood. 5600 lbs. The rest of the boats 21′ or less are about 4,000 lbs. (and only 4 at that displacement) or less.

    Nice shot of your boat. Mind if I replace the current photo in the database with yours? And can I give you photo credit?

    Hello Mer’tan,

    Actually, the Havsfidra record was still available. It just wasn’t connected to the Fisksatra builder record. We’ve fixed that. Plus added some information based on your attachments.

    Thanks for reaching out, we appreciate it very much.
