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.
Or email it to us at contact@sailboatdata.com
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.
Thanks Jim, we’ve updated the SA and displacement. After doing that, our SA/disp ratio updated to 21.01 We’re pretty sure ours is correct as it’s an automatic calculation.
In looking into this, we found a Herreshoff brochure ca. 1936 which shows slightly different beam and draft than what we had been reporting. We’ve updated those as well.Hi Frank, If you want, send me an email to contact [at] sailboatdata [dot] com. I have another Jouet 1280 owner whose contact info I can share.
The issue with draft in Refine Search has been fixed. Fingers crossed. Apologies for the delay and any inconvenience it might have caused.
Hello Norm, thanks for your note. We agree with everything you are saying. Please know, though, that as a site we strive to be as consistent as possible across all builders worldwide. (While 45% of our monthly users are from the US, we get about 30% from Europe, 10% from Canada and still another 15% from other countries around the globe. For example, Australia normally comes in ranked about 6th.)
Today, many but not all builder’s worldwide use LOA to include overhangs and LOD for hull length. That said, some still stick with the “honest” use of LOA… hull length.
When a builder only reports LOA, it is impossible for us to know which use of LOA they are using. As this is the case, for consistency’s sake, we show LOA as reported by the builder regardless of whether it includes overhangs or not.
We feel like, to report LOA as hull length for the 320 mkII, then add a note reporting the overall length as something longer, can be confusing for most of our users who are not marine professionals like yourself.
For us, the best scenario for the 320 mkII, one that will be the easiest for most to understand and is consistent with how other boats are reported, is to report LOA including overhangs and LOD for hull length.
We hope you understand.
BTW, we have a note on the 320 page that states LOA equals hull length.
Apologies for the delay in responding. We are seeing the same thing and will fix shortly. Thanks for the “heads-up.”
Hi Alasdair, We stand corrected. Looking at the book, Laurent Giles and His Designs by Adrian Lee and Ruby Philpott © 1991 by International Marine Publishing Co. We now see that we underreported the sail area for most Vertues. The “original” design, the ANDRILLOT, had a sail area of 366 sqft. That changes by hull #2. We have updated the record to report 395 sqft. We also added a record for the Vertue II, the GRP version of the VERTUE, still in production today by Bossoms Boat Yard in the UK.
Thanks for the “heads-up” on our error.
Bruce
