I can dump it instantly with no fears of a jam up. Never had a scary moment in god knows how many miles. The gybe is gentle and controlled, use big, stretchy Dacron or, better, New England VPC or equivalent for less, but adequate, shock absorbsion. In big air a quick haul in and bleed off keep it civilized. Had to make custom cars for all three boats. The tracks and cars were bent and machined to specific radii by Lewmar. I machined the parts to enable the single line control on top of the cars.
All three boats are normally singlehanded and sailed, extensively. I was not on Quicksilver when she finally bucked that big Gougeon rig over the side, thankfully. He was an architect and had carefully plotted out the plan shape and vertical profile of the track that it proscribed a 3d path that let the tension on the leech constant at any point on the track.
Hard to describe but there was a hump on CL with the lowest points just outboard of the cockpit and then the track rose to meet the top of the deck where it met the aft bulkhead of the cabin bulkhead. I'd have to sketch it out but it seemed to achieve the intent.
There was a short piece of traveler track on the bottom of the boom that let the attachment point of the mainsheet strop stay centered over the traveller car as it made its somewhat sinusoidal way across the boat. I think that the Smyth F catamaran was the only other use of that I had seen at the time. Inside the boom was a hydraulic cylinder for the actual mainsheet. It was slow to operate from a pump and panel that had originally run the permanent backstay that the tiny Prout style mainsail permitted.
So we reprogrammed ourselves to think of the hydraulic sheet as 'leech tension' and the traveller control as 'mainsheet'. I arrived the next spring and built the traveller horse and spent most of the summer sailing her but that rig scared me so on inshore races that I chickened out for the OSTAR.
That was a really exciting design for the time but I still had nightmares of that rig sliding off the end of the traveller track that its rotating mast step was mounted. It did in fact do so with Mark Ruiger! Jack Petith from St Croix was living proof of that advice and while he did get a sponsorship from KRITER that was only because he had spent a lot of time in Brittany hanging with the French Multihull elite and he spoke passable French.
Just over a minute to get the boom from side to side in a gybe seems like ages, no? I don't see anything about a dump feature on the site I have the Antal line driver on a Gunboat Works great.
Also have the dead ends of the traveler lines going to a clutch and winch for those few times you want to operate it manually. Basically never use them but they are available just in case. Nils see attached wiring diagram to run 24v motors off of a 48v system. This is for running a windless but don't see why it would not work for the Antal driver. Drawing came from a yahoo electric boat group I follow.
Thats good. Really nice to have all 48v motors for all the high load stuff. Do you know if they went that way on the Gunboat 68? Why not just add clutches on both the bitter ends setup? Yeah, I saw someone else mention that on the bitter ends earlier and took note.
That will be incorporated into the rig I am presently working on for a cat. Thanks for re-iterating the technique for me Christian. This design has relatively narrow hulls with dagger boards, along with simple powerful rig. The high bridge deck clearance minimizes pounding in a seaway and greatly adds to the comfortable motion aboard while sailing.
All systems are designed to be easily accessed and maintained, a critical feature on any true cruising sailboat. While the inside helm is the control center of the boat, the large U-shaped galley is the heart of the boat and is located on the bridge deck across from the dinette with easy access to the aft deck. The accommodations in each hull are configured to provide a generous aft cabin with a queen berth that is easy to get into from the foot of the berth, along with ample storage.
Moving forward is a modified queen midship berth which folds up to reveal a work bench when needed. Next is a large forward head compartment with separate shower stall and large hanging locker.
On the occasion you have additional guests the dinette also converts to a spacious double berth. The market has seen an ever increasing demand for catamarans, particularly among sailors who have previously owned cruising monohulls.
