Launch into a new adventure on a strikingly innovative execution of a timeless favorite. 90 lbs of hull weight, built for strength, built for fun and built to go quick. Built to take friends along.

Take your daughter for her first sail ever. Share a sunset sail with your spouse. Use its agility and ample storage to backpack by sailboat for a weekend. Kick it off the beach and get some much-needed endorphins as you plane upwind and downwind in a fun medium breeze. Do all of these things on your new Rocket built by Fulcrum Speedworks in Rumford, RI. Wait, haven’t I seen one of these before? In a way- but no. Not even close. The Rocket builds on the strong fundamental positives of the classic American “Board boat”, a boat type which first came into the world about 80 years ago. Hundreds of thousands of board boats have been made over the years by boatbuilders across the continent, from the Sailfish, to the Aqua-finn, to the Sunfish, the Phantom, the Scorpion and countless others, they have become an North American backyard icon on par with charcoal grills, above-ground swimming pools and pickup trucks. Board boats of all kinds have been loved for generations for a good reason. Their simplicity, ease of use, safety and affordability has stood essentially unmatched. The Rocket is that classic form made modern by way of careful and sweeping improvements across the entire platform. An old favorite has jumped forward thanks to modern methods and materials. This is what happens when a company that makes hi-tech foiling UFOs gets to execute a classic concept.

The Interceptor takes the Rocket and makes it high-tech, with a Mylar-Carbon blend sailplan, a carbon fiber wingfoil rudder, and a carbon fiber traveller. The Backcountry takes adventure to the next level with carbon oars and oarlocks! Great for finding new fishing holes up the river.

Made from an intensely rugged and extra lightweight cored composite construction, the Rocket weighs in at 90 pounds, fully 40% lighter than conventional builds of its type. Consider the process of launching and landing it, pulling it up the beach on the dolly etc. Light things are less cumbersome and easy to move around. Your back is already thanking you. The wind likes light boats too. Light boats accelerate more easily and hold quick speeds more readily. They’re easy to handle on the water and safer as a result. At an excellent power to weight ratio, the Rocket can really move! In light wind it’s quick and in good breeze it will plane upwind, downwind and on reaches. Go there faster! It’s no UFO, but it’s an impressively quick dinghy vs. other 14 foot dinghies on the market.

But it’s not just lighter weight and greater speed. The Rocket is also palpably more stable than comparable boats on the market, thanks to having the widest parts of its V-bottom situated directly where you sit. As one customer puts it. “The sailing motion and sea-kindliness is entirely different. It is a more sophisticated motion and not so abrupt as the SF which can be very squirrelly. This is more stable, and sails more consistently and predictable. It points a little better and close-hauled sailing is entirely different and I’m able to sail more consistently and keep my heel angle as desired rather than reacting to the  SF’s abrupt motion.   It’s far more comfortable to move around in and great with a passenger. Better boom clearance for tacks/jibes.” And then there’s the deck layout.

The Rocket comes with an expansive full length cockpit which stretches all the way to the stern. The cockpit bottom is padded with soft non-slip marine deck foam which is both gentle to the touch and rugged to survive the elements. This allows ample room to bring friends or cargo. Three or four kids can easily take the Rocket for a sail together, two adults can take the Rocket for a sail together.

BRING THE FAM!

With 6 feet 3 inches of floor length on the cockpit, there are easily four feet of cargo space in the back for dry-bags while still leaving room to sail comfortably. This makes the Rocket the pickup truck of the dinghy world. Stick your camping gear in the back and use it for sail-powered backpacking, or simply go sailing with the dog and a big cooler. You name it, it’ll go in your Rocket.

Hoisting the sail could not possibly be any easier thanks to the Rocket’s timeless tried-and true lateen sail setup. The sail, boom and gaffe lay down on the deck waiting for the halyard to be pulled. Pull the halyard 10 feet and cleat it. Congratulations! You’re done. Go sailing. Repeat these steps in reverse when you land. There is a good reason why the lateen sail has been uses on millions of production sailing dinghies since the 1950’s. Dollar for dollar, outing for outing, nothing gets the job done more easily.

Specifications

The First 24 SE is a  modern high-tech sport cruiser , capable of delivering thrilling performance in a versatile package that is easy to use and maintain. She is of course  trailerable , and her smart mast-raising system allows a single user to launch and go, giving you access to a wide variety of cruising and racing grounds, from international  one-design regattas  to coastal adventure races. And at the end of the day, she will welcome you with a simple but smart interior, offering all basic cruising amenities for four people. No matter the mode, she is a  true sailing sensation .

NAVAL ARCHITECT : Manuard YD INTERIOR DESIGN : Sito Concept & R&D: Seascape

WHY FIRST 24 SE ?

PERFORMANCE

Ultimate performance & high-tech building technology deliver the promised performance of the Seascape Edition: a very light, modern vacuum-infused vinyl-ester hull, composite-build swinging keel with lead bulb, carbon-fiber rig, and extensive sail area.

EASY TO USE

Well-thought-out cockpit ergonomics, minimized controls, a carbon mast without a backstay, a light but precise steering system, and a stable hull significantly simplify boat handling, whether solo, double-handed or fully crewed. 

The First 24 SE is insubmersible thanks to her unsinkable chambers, a swinging keel system which will protect the structure in case of grounding, and twin rudders that always ensure complete control. Expanding your comfort zone has never been safer!

Whether you prefer classical windward-leeward races or exploring new shores through single or double-handed adventures, you'll always enjoy the company of the growing worldwide owners' community.

A light structure and a swinging keel system enable easy road transportation. Handling of the light carbon mast is easy, and her provisional mast crane does not limit you to on-land facilities. She allows a user to simply launch and go.

SAILING EXPERIENCE

The First 24 SE is a true pocket rocket, defined by the design team's racing background. An incredible sail area to displacement ratio ensures fast sailing in both strong and light wind conditions. Downwind planing in stronger breezes is a blast and a pure joy because of the stable hull, and the deep, ballasted keel and twin rudders, which give you complete control.  The First 24 SE is enjoyable in lighter conditions too, as she reacts to the slightest wind gusts and can easily match wind-speeds. Spacious, open and carefully thought-out cockpit ergonomics work in solo, double-handed or fully-crewed setups and guarantee easy handling and comfortable sailing, no matter if you're on a relaxed afternoon sail or racing in one-design regattas.

LIVING ONBOARD

The First 24 SE interior is minimalistic and very weight-sensitive, but in addition to her performance, she still provides all key amenities you can expect on a modern 24ft high-performance racer. The large open-space salon can easily sleep up to 4 adults, two on the V-berth and two on the extendable side beds. Her removable crew bags house personal belongings, and can be stored under the benches. Her indoor/outdoor table can be used in the salon or cockpit, and there is even a dedicated place for a chemical toilet. For technical storage, there is a large-volume capacity under the cockpit area, accessible from the exterior. All interior components function as parts of the boat structure. Furthermore, the First 24 SE is highly modular, so one can easily reduce additional weight for racing. 

Joining the One Design Class gives you access to the largest recreational community of like-minded sailors. It enables you to test your skills on the racecourse and enjoy good company ashore.

Equipped With SEANAPPS

The easiest way to keep your boat safe and ready to cruise anytime.

The new Seanapps  app is the ultimate solution to help you indulge your passion for boating. With the touch of your finger, you can easily connect, monitor and order services for your boat – from routine maintenance, to requesting a wash or fuel or having us complete a repair.

Pocket rocket

Could this bluff bow pocket rocket really be the shape of things to come?

These startling photos top and bottom show a new prototype Mini 6.5m design starting the Mini Pavois solo race from La Rochelle yesterday.

It’s David Raison’s new Mini number 747, Magnum, which he designed himself. The 21ft racer has been two years in the making and is the latest pocket rocket in this excitingly experimental box rule class.

First, a bit of background on Raison himself. He is a French marine engineer and one of the classes long-standing innovators and designer/sailors. He is a hotshot skipper and was 2nd in the 2003 Mini Transat in the production series division.

So his new prototype is aimed at winning rather than merely proving some concepts. But what a weird look it has, with this peculiar rounded, bath-tub shaped bow.

Raison tells me that his thinking was to get a boat as wide and thus as powerful as possible. “The latest boats are at the maximum [dimensions] from the transom to midships and it’s becoming more and more difficult to get a normal bow,” he explains.

“So I decided I don’t care about the bow; I’m trying to get a really wide boat.”

Raison says that part of the inspiration behind it was blunt-bowed US scows. But the scows were never designed that way for hydrodynamic efficiency; it just made them easier and cheaper to build.

So I’m perplexed as to why you’d give away so much waterline length – something you can see quite clearly in the photo above.

“Waterline length is something from the past,” Raison argues. “These open boats aren’t displacement boats any more. Drag is more important. The shorter the waterline length the quicker you can get into [a planing] regime.”

These aren’t the only radical ideas. Magnum has an ultra lightweight rotating carbon wingmast with pre-stretched Dyneema lowers but no jumpers or diamond. At the transom it has kick-up/retractable rudders.

The keel is interesting, too. It cants from side to side and has a telescopic fin so that the bulb can be progressively lowered to the 2m maximum draught allowed by the rule as the keel gets swung out to windward. This is not a completely new idea, as it was first tried in 2003 on a Bouvet-designed Mini.

Unfortunately the blunt-bowed concept is so far unproven. David Raison was forced to pull out of the Mini Pavois on day one when the rudder fuses (the sacrificial low-load lashing for the kick-up mechanism) broke. Raison points out that the boat was launched, without keel system, only ten days ago and “had zero mileage” at the start.

You can see in the photo below that the keel was not fully canted, and the leeward daggerboard not completely lowered to avoid putting them under full load in the windy conditions at the start.

Speaking of his retirement from the race, Raison comments: “It’s not surprising. We had a really fast preparation and things were not tested or calibrated properly. I need to check things progressively. But the boat will definitely be faster.”

Pocket rocket

The pocket rocket is a 22.0ft fractional sloop designed by gary mull and built in fiberglass since 1983..

The Pocket rocket is a light sailboat which is a very high performer. It is very stable / stiff and has a low righting capability if capsized. It is best suited as a day-boat.

The theoretical maximum speed that a displacement hull can move efficiently through the water is determined by it's waterline length and displacement. It may be unable to reach this speed if the boat is underpowered or heavily loaded, though it may exceed this speed given enough power. Read more. Classic hull speed formula: Hull Speed = 1.34 x √LWL Max Speed/Length ratio = 8.26 ÷ Displacement/Length ratio .311 Hull Speed = Max Speed/Length ratio x √LWL Sail Area / Displacement Ratio A measure of the power of the sails relative to the weight of the boat. The higher the number, the higher the performance, but the harder the boat will be to handle. This ratio is a "non-dimensional" value that facilitates comparisons between boats of different types and sizes. Read more. SA/D = SA ÷ (D ÷ 64) 2/3 SA : Sail area in square feet, derived by adding the mainsail area to 100% of the foretriangle area (the lateral area above the deck between the mast and the forestay). D : Displacement in pounds. Ballast / Displacement Ratio A measure of the stability of a boat's hull that suggests how well a monohull will stand up to its sails. The ballast displacement ratio indicates how much of the weight of a boat is placed for maximum stability against capsizing and is an indicator of stiffness and resistance to capsize. Ballast / Displacement * 100 Displacement / Length Ratio A measure of the weight of the boat relative to it's length at the waterline. The higher a boat’s D/L ratio, the more easily it will carry a load and the more comfortable its motion will be. The lower a boat's ratio is, the less power it takes to drive the boat to its nominal hull speed or beyond. Read more. D/L = (D ÷ 2240) ÷ (0.01 x LWL)³ D: Displacement of the boat in pounds.

The Musings of a Hopeless Wanderer Engaging in the eternal search for the meaning of life...or a good time. Netherlands Monday, September 3, 2018 Tackling moscow by train and boat. Our first full day in Moscow started fairly late since we were still catching up on sleep.  Around 1, we finally were able to get our act together and get out the door.  We stopped by a cafe to get some breakfast and headed over to the Red Square.  Since the festival is going on, we had to go through metal detectors.  Once we cleared security, we reached the State Historical Museum which provided an entrance to the Red Square. We walked the length of the Red Square, passing by the Kazan cathedral. Under normal conditions, the Red Square is a large walking area with the State Historical Museum on one end and St. Basil's on the other end.  On the sides is the Kremlin wall on one side and then the GUM shopping mall and the Kazan cathedral on the other side.  Presently, the walking area has been considerably narrowed and the fesitval grounds occupying a large space between the Kremlin and the mall. We even asked a stranger to take our picture! After walking around the Red Square, we had to leave to meet up with our Metro Tour.   Moscow has famously pretty metro stations so metro tours are quite popular.  We booked a relatively inexpensive tour through a tour group which met outside of the Red Square. On our way, we passed by the Kremlin gardens and the tomb to the unknown soldier and the eternal flame. We soon met up with our group which, fortunately, was only 5 people.  Our guide told us that we were going to visit 8 stations during the 1.5 hour tour.   Honestly, a lot of the stations blended in to me so I won't be able to give you a detailed description of all of them.  However, I did learn that there are 222 metro stations and the trains come every 2-3 minutes reliably.  For that reason, Moscow > DC.  One of the first metro stations we visited had bronze statues all over of various depictions.  Many of the statues had superstitions tied to them.  For example, for a statue of the dog, it's held that if you rub the nose of the dog, you'll have good luck.  Consequently, most of the statue is tarnished - except for the nose.  I joked to Tomas that they probably rotate the "good luck" portion of the statue to ensure the entire statue gets polished. However, I do remember some of the stations. Novoslobodskaya is a station adorned with stained glass on the walls. There was also Belarusskaya, which paid tribute to Belarus. Another station which name I cannot remember but had pretty mosaics in the ceilings. My favorite station was Komsomolskaya.  It's the busiest station and a hub for other connecting trains.  It was built during Statlin times and he wanted the station to embody beauty to set a good first impression to Russia. I'd seen pictures of it beforehand since it's the most famous but it's so much more impressive in person. Look at these ceilings! Overall it was a very interesting tour.  Not sure of any other city which could offer a metro tour.  DC certainly can't... After the tour, we headed back of the hotel to rest for a bit.  We had purchased tickets to a tour hour boat down the Moscow river.  The tickets were good for any time on any day and the boats left every 20min.  We decided to knock the tour out that day and headed over to the pier.   We arrived at the pier and saw a boat by the company we had purchased from boarding.  We approached and they shook their head and said it wasn't the right boat.  So we waited for another boat. Another boat came along by the same company we had purchased from so weapproached them.  Again - we were told it wasn't the right boat and the boat we were looking for was coming.   A third boat came along which was NOT by the company we had purchased from.  By this point, it had been longer than 20min waiting and I was starting to suspect that the correct boat was actually one of the ones which turned us away.   We approached the 3rd boat to ask if they knew which boat we should be on.  However, when we approached,  they waved us aboard without scanning our tickets. So, we boarded the 3rd boat....which was definitely not ours. We settled into an upper deck, open air table to take in the views. We passed by pretty buildings. The somewhat impressive cathedral of Christ the Savior. This random statue. After about hour on the cruise, Tomas remarked that it had been about an hour so we should be turning around soon.  I reminded him that we actually had no idea how long this cruise was or where we would be dropped off.  Since we were on the wrong boat. Fortunately, it did turn around and took us back to the pier.   For dinner, we decided to go to this burger place, Black Star Burger, which our guide told us about.  Tomas really liked his - I thought mine was OK.  It was a decent size patty with a mountain of Cole slaw on top.  We've realized that apparently Russians dislike getting their hands dirty while eating so some restaurants will give out gloves to use.  This particular restaurant gave out black gloves. Tomas modeling our dinner. Since little mum has been asking about pictures which show my feet, I assume she wanted to see my new shoes.  I recently bought Allbirds which are suppose to be super comfortable walking shoes which you wear without socks and can be washed.  I didn't wear them too extensively beforehand, so that was probably my first error.  I also didn't bring another pair of good walking shoes,  which was likely my second error.  The Allbirds were great the first two days without socks.  Midway through the third day, my right foot was quite unhappy. Left foot was a trooper. So, now I have a bandaid on the heel of my right foot and wear socks.   No comments: Post a comment. book report template free download 428 IMAGES Sailing the 18-foot proa Pocket Rocket in a bit of wind 2013 Mull 22 / pocket rocket A pocket-rocket hydrofoil sailboat, the Windrider Rave.
