Are the lifeline used to clip on when wearing harness? If so, it should be left quite loose. For exemple a cable that is kept straigh (like the one crazy people walk on) will have a tension 300 time the load applied sideway to it (a 200 pound guy walking on a cable, the cable will have 60 000 pound ...

take a look at the forum at boatdesign.net you should find an answer remember that the positive and negative pressure are not centered on the foil, depending on foil section they may very well be at about 30%, wich would result in totally neutral rudder... does not seem very interesting to steer! 20...

heeling does NOT mean speed. when you need to pull the tiller that much, you either have bad sail setting or simply too much sail area (tough I agree it can be funny) from your pictures... -having your jib 2 feet over the deck is a bad idea regarding performance. you are rising the center of effort ...

Upwind: Down or almost down Reaching: About halfway but can vary a lot depending on conditions Downwind: Halfway if you have an annoying swell and want to stabilize the boat (wich in turn help the aerodynamic of the sails) or completly up to reduce friction to the minimum. It is also a safety factor...

That eye 7 foot high seem to be the right place. I put up a carabiner on it and the straps on the carabiner. If you think it might not be solid enough, place a rope or strap around the mast and in the eye, this way the eye only need to sustain forces going down, the side-to-side force are sustained ...

Hull speed is not a precise limit, it is only an approximation of the speed where wave resistance increase very quickly. Once you get past it the wave resistance decrease quickly and remain relatively stable, but frictional resistance is still growing and overall you still need more power to go fast...

I dont like this system, when I want to release main sheet I want it to be as simple as possible. My C26 has a small traveler on the upper cockpit floot, just in front of the entrance to cabin. I liked the setup as it is close to hands when seated to make adjustements, release sheet or to brake the ...

This is a clip made from every bit of video taken during my cruising aboard Haboob, C26,... Sound is from pirates of the carrabean, french version.
Under my youtube account you can see a few other basic videos taken aboard this C26

With my C26 I have been at 7 knot quite a few time. Record while surfing is 10.4 knot (GPS was set-up to show average of 5 seconds, so actual top was probably a little more)... And it was with a fully loaded boat, engine prop dragging in water and towing a dinghy... clearly over-canvased :P 7 kt on ...

Thanks for the comments! It is not very common to tow a dinghy in these conditions but with mine it worked well. It needed to be that far back because it does surf the waves pretty quickly for 100-150'. With 50' of rope the motor got a kick in the back that way:P Btw here's the design for that dingh...

Hmm, I replaced exactly that 2 years ago and it's not very fun job to do... so much work and when it's over nobody see what youve done!

Hello Mile, the Chrysler do quite well when it blow, but keep in mind this is a 26 footer and can get pretty bumpy when the sea is forming. But for this size of boat, I think it will perform better than a macgregor or modern hull with more interior volume. On this page of my blog you can see 2 video...

I am very happy with the Yamaha High Thrust. It's hard to compare with standart thrust because last years everything was new for me and had no way to know my speed.... I would say there's a difference, but cannot rate it,sry. I bet the Yam has good stopping power (it has a weird prop made for that) ...

Update: I've been able to test the boat more recently and have found some limitation with this rudder. When the boat is heeled so that the rail touch the water, the rudder is partly in the air and with this limited surface the boat turn to the wind So...not the best model if you want to race, but if...
