N18 “Sibrwd” (part 1)

  • Post published:December 27, 2013

Tony's story of his N18 project. Having sold my Soling and being left with just a catamaran, which to put it bluntly I was too fat and unfit to sail…

 - Surprise’s rig. Sibrwd’s will be pretty much identical. -     (ID=2207)
 - How we found the boat. Looks ok. She wasn’t. -     (ID=2198)
 - The mast socket, up in the eyes of the boat. -     (ID=2209)
 - Another shot of the foredeck/mast support arrangement. The plastic tube was a trial fit to make sure I got the rake right. I did toy with glassing it to produce a cone, but went for a wooden box section instead -     (ID=2206)
 - Sibrwd gutted  -     (ID=2200)
 - ‘space frame’ to carry the loads from the unstayed mast and support the foredeck -     (ID=2205)
 - Clamping up the port side cockpit coaming. Yes I know – not enough of them -     (ID=2210)
 - Cockpit sole painted with 3 coats Blakes non slip deck paint, and ready to start thinking about bolting and screwing things down. This where we’re at as of the beginning of December 2013, only 5 years into the project! -     (ID=2212)
 - The boat all set to travel back to Wales. Just need to strap it down, and find somewhere to put 30’ of mast. -     (ID=2199)
 - Ready for the cockpit sole to be painted. The large square hatches lead to sealed watertight compartments either side of the centreplate case. There are six watertight compartments in all, each separate from one another. The sole is approximately 3” above the w/line when loaded up. Most water will drain via holes in the transom, but a set of Andersen bailers are sited in wells either side for when it gets a bit wet. The box section into which the mast foot slots in can be seen under the foredeck. I put in a mast ram to adjust the rake of the mast slightly. It operates through a hole in the box. -     (ID=2211)
 - Cockpit sole going in 6mm ply epoxy sealed on 2”x1” Douglas Fir stringers on 9mm ply floors/ bulkheads. 2” x 1” DF inner and outer whales glued down and through screwed from the inside. The fibre glass bulkhead was the only internal structure, other than the centreplate box to survive the takedown. -     (ID=2204)
 - Argh! Mulch and rot aplenty -     (ID=2201)
