• This just came out of the sheds.
  • I could probably design some sliding shutters for those thruster holes..
    • Those holes must create turbulence. I wonder how much?
      • I've been told there is some drag
  • The deep hull section is reminiscent of Ted Hood's designs
    • Or Bill Shaw's Pearson 40
  • Wow. As a bonafide powerboater, I'd say those thrusters are pretty far aft.
    • Agree
    • Maybe it's deliberate and smart
  • Dockside handling should be "interesting"
  • Cary Ali is in the water and headed to Florida, black hull, varnish and all.
    • Here's the cockpit.
      • It's criminal to take that boat to FL.
    • How are they shipping her?
    • Pretty boat - love it when they float on their lines.
      • I see a vang . . .
      • Good questions, here's the boom, closer.
        • what is the boat next to her?
          • yawl?
            • 40 WINKS is a Bruce Kirby(Laser designer) one off, JayZ.
        • That shot shows the vang.
  • Cary Ali is nearly commissioned.
    • Wow, Beautiful work!
    • That main sheet "grommet hole" seems out of the zone to me.
      • That's bad design, if that's what it is
        • Maybe I'm missing something, that is yet to come.
          • From your pictures, isn't that the mainsheet coming from the grommet on the stern coaming of the cockpit?
            • Same mainsheet on Friendship 40
              • Thanks for that. I guess that is the Fontaine mainsheet arrangement.
                • ΕΛΕΓΕ ΔΕ ΚΑΙ ΔΩΡΙΣΤΙ ΦΩΝΗ ΣΥΡΑΚΟΥΣΙΑ, “� Α ΒΩ ΚΑΙ ΧΑΡΙΣΤΙΩΝΙ ΤΑΝ
                  • Don't forget, Fontaine group designs the boat here, I'm just the messenger.
                • That mainsheet arrangement has become pretty common on large Swans and Wallys...
                  • Wow! Great vid, Jon. Well, the mainsheet through a mouse hole works.
                  • Beautiful!
                  • Another interesting video
              • Interesting 40 foot "daysailor."
    • Damn, I need some eye bleach after seeing that awning support structure... (grin)
    • That is a real fair weather boat
      • Totally. These boats are not made to go far from home or for very long.
  • Cary Ali has her canvas on.
    • Tom...
      • That will be a little easier on the varnish.
