Re: Mooring with a bowsprit

You did exactly the right thing! Most boats with chain bobstays round here and mooring chains coming up to the stemhead, fit them. I have a rod bobstay so it slides easier on the mooring chain when I pick up my creek mooring, but also the chain comes on board via a roller fitted to the bowsprit, a f...

Re: Long lost Eventide...

Back again, Sadly nothing has turned up with either the boat name Hobgoblin, nor your Grandfathers surname, which is odd as I do recall a boat being sold or passed on to a new owner about then. Could be the new owner was in contact, not the 'seller'.... Wonder if your grandfather was actually a memb...

Re: Long lost Eventide...

Hello There and welcome to the Forum. Sounds as if the boat, as it was not completed, may have been called anything by the new owner, so the name is not a lot to go on. About a thousand Eventides were built, mostly in back yards, all over the world. However most were issued with a sail number, if we...

Re: Eventide 26 Cockpit Drains

Sorry I had not seen the entry before, but i do not check the forum that often, normally people mail queries direct to us at enquiries@eventides.org.uk My Eventide has a slightly raised cochpit floor, because I have a deeper hull by 3" as per the latest designs. This enables me to have the cockpit f...

Re: GH 31 Ketch main mast position

Hello All, Yes I have found a sail plan in amoungst all the paperwork and will have to have it scanned on a large machine, as it is too big for my A4 scanner. It is a shame Dave never came back so we could save these old drawings for all to enjoy, we have a small collection now, mainly thanks to Mar...

Re: Ballast for Centreboard Senior

Hello Bob, Yes, after F3 as the boat begins to heel to the wind, when beating upwind, all the effects of hull shape, changed waterline shape due to heeling, centres of lateral resistance and centres of sail area come into play. In my Eventide 26 ( 27'3" if Im honest, without the bowsprit...) at F3 o...

Re: Ballast for Centreboard Senior and weather helm

Hello Martin, I would have thought the better option was the small bowsprit, this extends the sail area forward thus removing the weather helm. Can also make a good stowage place for muddy anchors! I have never heard that mny complaints about 'severe' weather helm on a Senior, not like the early Eve...

Re: Ballast for Centreboard Senior

Hello Bob and Martin, The Senior comes in several guises and the centreboard is the one that some claim is the easiest to launch and recover and the fastest. but there is a down side. it was designed with no internal ballast and supposed to be sailed like a large dinghy! fine for sheltered water.

Hello folks I was wondering where to put a notice up about the Forum being down, and after reading this page I thought here is as good a place as any. The title of this page is wrong. it should not read that the site is not very current, because that is, it is just this forum page! The forum is only...

Re: Eventide Prop Size

There is a link to a free prop calculator program on the 'builders and restorers page of the site. You download it to your machine and use in there, very simple but it works! Not much point in looking at the size of props on other Eventides, unless you have the same engine, same power and revs, same...
