Have now numbered 82 holes in Wildcards bottom.... Saturday 11.00 James McCallum, the big boss of the repair company www.asiatmi.com, comes by himself.. From Australia.. maybe he knows Wildcard, and give live saving advice 4 Wildcard,but otherwise it gets more and more difficult.. Another 2-part mast (transport technical) with 2 spreaders and back stay, no runners is needed now that the old mast has been definitively retired. Jason Corall and Nick Goodwood... mast assessment as per today....
Looks like the mast is unsuitable for use. Many cracks and weak points,
massive repairs needed and in our opinion, far under-spec for the yacht, are some of the reasons we outlined for retiring this mast.
We will look into quotes on a new two piece mast
So:
Radford 14m Racing Yacht - Design # 36 http://www.radford-yacht.com/dsn036/dsn036.html
Stability Curves: http://www.radford-yacht.com/dsn036/dsn036ara.html
The mast is 21.25m long,
roughly 1.95m from bottom 2 deck,
and 2.95 to the bottom of the connection for the 6.95 long boom..
If we find something, with an affordable sail garderobe if possible, I would like 2 see if the furler can go below deck etcetc..
But I'm also willing 2 experiment,
I'm used to 2 race Star, no backstay, just 2 runners.. Although that was just racing around the cans for a few hours a day..
Build first Mirror dinghy for racing when 15, raced a lot of Laser, Flying Dutchman, Star, x99 etcetc
So I bought this boat purely for racing, no interior needed.. light(er)st..
etc
Cheers
