This list is not actualized. Please use the advanced search engine of the thread with the name of the model and builder. It works, most of the time.

(actualized till PG100) and it will be no more because that gives a lot of work (500 pages now).

Instead I am actualizing the titles and with the right title the thread search engine (not the one on the top of the page bit the one much below that says search thread) on its advanced option works quite well.

Hello,

Melrna posts on Miami Boat show and the comments of Smackdady about the interest of that thread lead me to think that perhaps I could share more information about sailboats I know and find interesting.

I am interested in boat design (interior and sailing performance) and I go each year at least to one of the main European Boat shows and that means basically Dusseldorf, Paris or Hamburg. On these shows you have the opportunity not only to visit the boats of the main and medium size builders but you have also the opportunity to visit the boats of small and sometime family shipyards.

Normally they build very good sailboats and sometimes they have been doing that for decades. The boats are hugely appreciated by their faithful customers but because they don't advertise their boats and there are very few on the used boat market, they pass unnoticed by the majority of the sail community.

The visit to these boats is a very rewarding experience because they are made with passion by true boat lovers and because when you talk to the guy that is on the boat, you are not talking with a dealer, that many times doesn't know much about boats, but with the builder, or the designer.

Even if you are not a buyer they will have real pleasure in talking with someone that really appreciates and understands their work. Those guys really believe in what they are doing and they do it the best way they can, no matter the cost. In a word, they are in love with what they are doing.
Of course, these boats have to be expensive.

This thread will be mainly about these boats, as a way of letting you know about these gems. Let's see if you are interested. I will not post much. If you want to know more you have just to participate and make questions.

The first one it will be the "Sirius". I have had the pleasure to visit several times their boats and to talk with the builders (father and son).

These boats have the best interiors you can find, or at least that I have seen. Not only the quality, but the design and ergonomy are fantastic. You really won't believe you are in a 32ft boat. Just incredible and amazing; Have a look at it:

Sirius-Werft Plön | Forecabin | 32 DS for 2 forecabin
Sirius-Werft Plön | Owner´s cabin | 32 DS 4-berth comfort owner´s cabin
Sirius-Werft Plön | Workshop | 32 DS for 2 workshop

Now that the son is in charge they have modernized the outside look of the new boats, they look fantastic not only inside but also outside. The boats sail well and they have clients as far as Japan.

Sirius-Werft Plön | Versions of decks house | You have the choice

Another interesting point is the way they develop new boats. They work with the clients to collect suggestions on the shape and design of the boats. A truly interesting affair, between passionate clients and passionate builders.

Sirius-Werft Plön | 35 DS | Philosophy

Take a good look at their interesting site and if you find the boat interesting, please let me know, I can add some information.

Sirius-Werft Plön | english | Welcome at website of Sirius-Werft Plön

Regards

Paulo

New boat Xp 50

It is on the water and I find it absolutely gorgeous, one of the nicest looking boats around:









This boat seems to have absolutely brilliant performances: In light winds with 6K wind the boat can make 8K speed:eek: and that is extraordinary because light wind sailing is not the area where this boat will excel.

http://www.x-yachts.dk/uploads/Diagram_Xp50.pdf

This boat belongs to the family of "heavy" boats, boats that have a big Ballast ratio, in this case almost 50%, with big drafts and all weigh in a torpedo. This means that this boat will excel in strong winds and heavy seas where that ballast ratio can be put to good measure. One for the Sydney-Hobart, or to cruise fast and safely around the world, and for that, just look at this galley:



Not a naked racer for sure... What a boat:D

New boat: Grand Soleil 43

Well, Cantieri del Pardo, now under the Bavaria umbrella, seems not to want to waste time. After the 39 success now they are going to make a new 43.

The later model, that is a very beautiful boat, won last month the Spi Ouest-France putting 3 Grand Soleil 43 in the first 4 positions on IRC 1. So much for the French boats:D

They are substituting what is a winner...and after having a look at the new boat, I guess they are substituting for another winner and a better boat.

The designer is the same of the 39, Claudio Maletto, and the boat has about the same weight (less 100kg) but it has more 250kg of ballast and a more modern transom, with the beam brought aft. The beam is about the same (more 5cm) but the LWL is 30cms bigger. A more stiff boat and a better boat downwind without losing nothing of the very good upwind potential of the older boat.

They still use a grid do distribute the keel weight and the stays forces by the hull, but from some time now they have substitute the steel one by a carbon one. The boat will cost over 300 000€.

The boat project

Crazy story:

The Boat Project is a living archive of people's stories and lives, a 30ft vessel made from donated wooden items. From February to July 2011 the public donated their wood to the project but not just any old wood. Pencil or piano - exotic as Zebrawood or as familiar as pine every piece had a story behind it. Donations arrived in their thousands, from the highly personal to pieces of national importance. All of these donations are now being used to build a state-of-the-art seafaring yacht.

The Boat Project

Over 1200 people donated wooden objects of significance which have all been used in the build of the yacht designed by Simon Rogers Yacht Design.

Lovely daysailer and an work of art:

New Boat: Soto 30

I have already talked about it and the first one is on the water, the small brother of the Soto 40, the Soto 30.

For being a great boat it only needs to be about as good as the bigger one. It looks really great and Soto Acerbal is becoming a heavy height NA even more so now that he moved to Europe, Barcelona, more precisely. Lots of commands and many nice designs have already been made by him and not only racers like this one.

Pacer 27

Taking about great little boats, the Pacer 27 is one of them. I have alreadt talked several times about the South African Pacer yachts and the last time to say that the Pacer 310 will be made under license in Europe.

One of their greatest success is the Pacer 27 a little offshore boat that can piss a lot of bigger boats, not to mention the sailors aboard them.

The Pacer 27 Sport is a new generation trailer sailer which offers very exciting sailing and top speeds at a fraction of the cost of boats twice it's size.

Designed by Alex Simonis and Maarten Voogd.. our brief was for a boat which would perform offshore the South African coast (Cape of Storms), and still be great fun on inland waters. It was also important to have a small interior capable of sleeping 2 adults and 2 children for those family units where dad races hard, but still wants to be able to treat the kids to a night or two on the boat.

To make the boat into a One Design class which enjoys good fleets no matter where the sailing venue may be, it was important to ensure that it could be easily slipped and towed. The retractable keel and removable cassette type rudder means that the boat sits low on it's trailer, tucking in behind the tow vehicle, and it's low mass means it can be easily pulled by a 2.5ltr car or light van.

The rig is easily dropped or raised, with just 3 persons, and will take about 40 minutes from arriving at the waters edge to launching the boat.
..
Top SOG measured to date was during Table Bay Week 2006, with North Sails' Rick Nankin driving the boat, at 24.5knots. Exciting? We think so. Rick's comments were that the boat was totally in control at the time -and we have had similar comments from owners, such as Antony Wentworth from Falsa Bay Yacht Club where they enjoyed a fantastic run from Cape Point back to the club, with the bag up and maintaining speeds in the top teens whilst 100% in control in a bumpy sea.

..So, if you are looking for a reasonably substantial boat, one which can be towed far easier than most, and one which will bring a smile to your face every time you jump on board, then this is the boat for you. Naturally, you will also WIN RACES.

Very well played by Puma, nobody will be able to take its second consecutive victory.

They will have very weak winds near Miami but the two other boats on the front of the race have chosen the same option and that seems a mistake to me.

I guess that Groupama and Abu Dhabi have chosen the faster road going East of the Bahamas but Groupama has 125Nm of retard and that's too much, probably they will not even be able to catch any of the three leading boats….but they are going to win miles on the leading trio or at least is what I think;)

I was right about Groupama (won 40Nm over the night) and maybe they can catch Telefonica but wrong about Puma. I don't know how Camper have managed to recover so many miles on Puma, going the same course but with a difference of only 13K to Puma and 450Nm to go, with a difficult last hundred miles (very weak and unstable wind) everything is at stake.

We have a hot race again:D

Puma versus Camper and Telefonica versus Groupama. who would say that Groupama could be back on the race? They have a disadvantage over Telefonica on weak winds but as this is a tactical race from now on we can count on Cammas to put a good fight.

Don't miss the next 24 hours, it is going to be interesting:D

Transat Ag2r

This one is also very competitive:

Transat AG2R La Mondiale 2012

With Morvan leading, as usual, but lots of boats very close.

Unfortunately the wind has not been strong and the images are nothing special.

Instead have a look at these interesting images: Same boats other race (solo), with all coming to port almost at the same time.

And Puma wins back all the miles that Camper had won previously :D

Jesus those guys should be nervous, Puma is making 4k, Camper 3K and the fastest on the fleet is Groupama doing 7k but on the wrong direction. This is going to be a hard night for all of them:rolleyes:.

Groupama is making the best performance and as I have said, in my opinion, it chose the best option, but it seems that the 68Nm will be impossible to recover in 420Nm, but who knows, if they keep making 7K while the others ate making 4K....:D
 
#2,427 ·
Vor70

Yes I bet that they had a terrible night and that they would have prefered to be bouncing around at 25k than to be sleep in a dead calm with a 3 or 4K wind, at least Puma that can't wait to arrive to Miami. Puma have managed to maintain positions through the night but not been able to pull away and only Groupama won some miles on them, but not as many as before.

Still a dangerous game. With these conditions and with Island on the way anything can happen with 320Nm to go and only 11Nm between the two leading boats.

Pity that they have all to turn a buoy on Eleuthera Island and therefore have to converge there. It would be a lot more interesting if they had a free play to Miami. However it is going to be interesting to see if Groupama is going to pass Cat island to the west or to the East, as the two leading boats. It seems to be more wind West but I am not sure if the wind direction would compensate that move.

The one that will be leading in 12 hours will win the race, providing it has some advantage. On the next 12 hours the very weak winds will continue and after that they will have a good wind to Miami.

Meanwhile Puma is not only holding on but winning some few miles to Camper while Groupama keeps winning to everybody.

I guess Puma is out of Groupama reach but Camper is only at 27Nm with 290 to go. It would be almost impossible but you never know. Will they go West of Cat Island? Will Telefonica follows or will go the other way around trying to eat the 16Nm that separates them from Groupama?

A close call for Groupama: To risk more to try to catch Camper or risk less and protect themselves from Telefonica, their main opponent on the race?

Re: Jpk 38fc

Hi Paulo,

Great thread, keep up the good work!

Some new pictures of the JPK 38FC interior. Looks really good! Have you heard anything about the performance of this boat?

Kind regards,

Mr W
Hi!Mr W, thanks for posting. As I was expecting from previous boats that seems to be a great interior with good quality materials. I also like the look of it: cozy and light and JPK offers a great deal of customization.

That also means that there are already two boats made . The exterior photos I have posted were from a version with a fixed keel this one seems to be a swing keel version.

About performances that is easy to tell: This boat is FAST:D. I don't know any JPK boat that is not fast anyway;)

It is not a boat made for handicap racing and possibly the handicap would not be very good, I don't know, but I know that you are going to arrive in the middle of the racing boats. If you are talking about just cruising and have fun, this and a Pogo are as fast as you can get. This boat has also a lot of ballast and it will be a very seaworthy boat. I would like to have a look at the stability curve, but I bet it is great.

Regards

Paulo

Re: JPK 38FC

Hi Paulo,

I actually think this is the version with the fixed keel. I think they all have the same layout with what looks to be a box under the mast support for the hydraulics, but on this boat it´s probably just some storage for some bottles of fine liquor... I think there has only been one boat built, and that is the fixed keel version (not 100% sure though).

Do you think the JPK 38 will have somewhat equal performance as the Pogo 12.50? It only has 80 sqm of upwind sailarea, compared to the Pogos 107 or so sqm, and it weighs almost the same.

The reason why I have been following this thread is that I´m looking for a new boat for me and my family. We have two young boys and therefore I´m looking for a boat that is stable and easy to single hand. The area where we spend most of our time on the water is characterized by mostly light winds (5-15 knots), flat water, shallow harbours and lots of small islands with tight passages.

I have previously owned 2 trimarans and before that I have been in the world of keelboats with my parents. I´m a bit hooked on multihulls due to speed and stability but my mind is open for keelboats as well, if I can find one that can be very fast with relatively little effort put in to it! The mrs always reminds me that a multihull can capsize, even though I try to convince her it won´t. I have had my eyes on the Pogo 12.50 and JPK 38, but they are imho a little bit too big for us. I was thinking max 35 feet. It´s a shame that the Pogo 10.50 isn´t as modern design as the 12.50 and the JPK.

Any other suggestions?! :confused:

Kind regards,
Mr W

Mr W, just take a look at table top, first image some kind of orange, last one without such top. But images are taken just 10 minutes apart.

Why don't you wait for Pogo 30 then.

The JPK is an interresting boat, certainly fast, but I wish builders would go back to respect the need for ventilation for a cruising situation, besides the wed night around the cans. The JPK is an extreme example, and it's primary use will be racing, but most newer production boats show the same trend, more light, less opening portholes and hatches. Hardly any of them have dorades, or solarvents. I wonder why, it's not that much expense to do that. :confused:
Another trend is the linear galley as boats have gotten fatter. Not really optimized for cooking while underway, and also the loss of a good seaberth, and extra settee. But I think personal preferences and use will differ on that.

Regarding The JPK is an extreme example, and it's primary use will be racing, you cannot be more off:D. The 38 is the ONLY JPK that has nothing to do with racing and is thought exclusively for cruising. That is JPK idea of a cruising boat and it seems it is not yours.:D

Regarding ventilation I don't see a problem but if you want JPK will open all the holes you want or almost. This is a boat with a good level of customization.

Regarding less openings on the hull (and more light and outside views) as a tendency you are right specially in what regards to lateral small openings in the cabin. They all with time will let water in, so no more of that. The tendency is to substitute that with bigger and a superior number of hatches especially on the saloon.

Paulo
