American 14.6 or 18

Does anyone have experience with either of these boats? I'm looking for something I can trailer easily behind my Subaru impreza wrx, can occasionally seat 4 adults, and is stable. I'm willing to sacrifice performance for this. The com-pac picnic cat also looks appealing. Thanks, Bill  

A little experience I have sailed quite a bit in Americans. They are OK -nothing special. They are not particularly sturdy, so you have to take very good care of them. They are simple, so there is not too much to do. You can seat four adults in them, but there is not much room for comfort. If you want basic, fairly slow sailing sitting upright for four people you will be fine with the American boats. You might want to make sure that you can put a small trolling motor on them - the ones I used had no motor and no place for one, so if you got caught out and the wind dies, you'll be out there for a while. I would look around - depending on your budget you might be able to do better.  

O'Day Daysailer ?? At just under 17 feet, an O'Day Daysailer may suit the purpose even better. There were zillions made and used (for family use, not racing) are available all over the place for $800 - $2,000 complete (boat, trailer, decent sails). Virtually all parts are still available at Cape Cod Shipbuilding and D&R Marine. There's a very active Class Association and website ( DaySailer.org ) with forums, classifieds, etc. It accomodates 4 adults quite well (3 on the high side while one stays low) and the boom clears heads without ducking. It will plane in wind > 12 knots or so and we've clocked over 9 MPH on our handheld GPS on an inland lake. I'm in my mid-50s and my wife and I can be in the water within 15 minutes of reaching the ramp... about the same at pull-out. Daysailers were produced in two basic flavors (same hull, rigging, sails for both). Earlier models (60s into early 80s), the DS I, had an open cuddy and mahogony floorboards and coamings with a centerboard operated by a lever. The DS II was produced late 70s thru the 80s (There was a short time, I think, when both models were produced). The DS II is all plastic and its cuddy is semi-enclosed and can be secured with hatch boards. The DS II centerboard is raised / lowered by a line-block design (some feel is inferior to the DS I's lever). DS II Seating goes all the way to the transom (the DS I has a 1-foot rear deck that takes away some cockpit space). I replaced my DS II when I came across a very nice DS I at a great price. I like the saltier look of the wood coamings and floorboards and the open, more accessible cuddy. But if you are mooring or dry-sailing where security is a concern, the DS II with its enclosed lockable cuddy may be the better choice. One step up performance-wise, still with readily available parts, an active Class Association and room for four is the 18 foot Chrysler Buccaneer (still made by Nickols).

American 14.6 Sailboat Top Cover - Boat Deck Cover

• Reflective Tape (+$10.00)
• Straps (+$15.00)
• All (+$25.00)
• I have read the item description and agree to the stated build lead time. I understand that everything is built-to-order.

Product Description

This sailboat top cover will completely enclose your American 14.6 deck protecting it from the elements. Use this Top cover with your mast down for storage or towing.*

Our American 14.6 cover fits snugly below the rub rail of the hull to seal out dirt and water. The cover installs securely with an elastic cord and tie down points around the perimeter. Top - center w eb loops allow you to “tent” your cover up to prevent pooling of water (as seen in product images).

We offer this cover in three different fabric types, look over the fabrics in the drop down chart below. 

Measurements (required for motor mount & ladder cutout options):

A= From Gunwale to top of motor mount B= From Center line of the transom to the close side of the motor mount C= From Center line of the transom to the far side of the motor mount 

Optional upgrades:  

Straps with quick-release buckles can be added (they replace the webbing loops) for an additional cost when a quick and secure tie down method is desired.

Cutout(s) for either motor mount, and / or ladder. 

Reflective tape can be added for an additional cost at the stern for greater visibility when towing.

This cover will be made without a motor mount cutout unless the option is selected (if no cutouts are desired, please enter "none" for measurements).  The American 14.6 boats we have looked at have a motor mount on the stern Port side. We will need the mount's location on the transom and its distance from the bottom of the gunwale as each boat has a tendency to vary.

* = If towing at highway speeds , please select the Top Gun fabric option. No towing with Sunbrella! Low speed towing with Polyester is OK. 

All of our covers are patterned from the actual boats they are designed to fit. This make for a better, higher quality product.

Secure and looks durable

Just got the cover for my American 14.6 and it fits like a glove. The cover is doubled in corners and over the cleats, and the stitching looks good. We’ll see how it holds up, but by the look of it, it should last for years. Brendan on 25th Aug 2020

Sunbrella cover for American 14.6

Perfect fit! Highly recommend adding the web straps versus using your own bungee cords! Eric on 27th Sep 2019

This craft. http://www.americansail.com/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=6&Itemid=7 I have a line on one, the price and terms of sale are still being discussed. Everything I can find on it suggests it would be a great starter boat for me. I have no experience and am trying to get into a sailing course. I have a very small budget and am looking for a boat that: 1. Is within my budget to purchase and prepare to seaworthiness; it is. 2. Has a positive flotation hull; this does. 3. Has a main and foresail rig so I can learn the handling of two sails; it does. 4. Does not require marina storage; it doesn't. 5. Can confidently and safely carry two; it seems to. I would appreciate any first-hand experiences from those that have owned or had the opportunity to sail this boat, or one similar to it. My one concern is its stability in coastal waters. I would be using it in calm seas around a pacific island.

You might want to do a site search for Sumner's posts. He sails a 26' water balast boat and he and his wife were brand new to sailing. They took their boat to a lake and proceeded to learn on their own. The 14' boat you are looking at is definitely a beginner boat. I sure wouldn't want to take it into the ocean. I think you will find very quickly that it is not much more than a toy and now you will be faced with selling it and moving up looking for something with more capability. This fall there will be a huge number of boats forsale. I bought a 26' American (different mfg.) in Feb, with trailer included, for $1500. I have had to spend about an additional $1000 to get it ready to sail this next month. The original asking price on Craig's list was $2500. It was iced up in Feb in Iowa and the seller was motivated. Keep looking is my advice. Tom...  

I didn't mean to rain on your idea. I guess I am of the school of American thought: "If a little is good, a lot has just got to be better!" Pay me no attention. I am just frustrated right now trying to get my boat bottom painted and every time I have it scheduled, my helper decides to not show up that day. I would do it my self, except that I don't fit into tight places anymore. Have a good night.  

It really depends on what the conditions are like where you'll sail. If you're in a protected harbor and the water isn't freezing cold year round then this might be ok. I live in Oregon where the ocean is cold and the wind/waves are usually strong/big even in the summer; I wouldn't take it on the ocean. My last boat was a Capri 16.5, not much bigger than what you're looking at, and I really wouldn't consider taking it out on the ocean either. I would use it in a harbor though. If you do go this route there are a few things you should do: 1) Always wear a life jacket - ALWAYS 2) Capsize the boat under controlled conditions (near the beach) and make sure you can right it. I didn't with the 16.5 and came *very* close to wishing I had. 3) If it has a tendency to turtle (go completely upside down) then consider getting a mast float. 4) Make sure you can climb back in the boat from the water. If it's at all difficult near the beach imagine what it will be like in the middle of the harbor with nobody around. Add a fold up step or a fold up ladder to the stern. 5) If you don't have reef points in your main, consider having them added 6) If you think you need to reef then you already should have! I do think there is some advantage to learning to sail in small boats first. The sail controls are often simpler and the action/reaction when you change something is pretty quick and obvious. My progression was as follows: Family trips on Dad's 25' full keel sloop as a kid. Learned basics - rules of the road, raise/lower sails, basic sail trim using the sheets. 30 years later . . . Laser - refresh basic skills, learned about vang, cunningham, outhaul, and daggerboard. Not very effective or comfortable sailing with 2 people. Draft about 3 inches with the board up, 2 feet with it down, expect to capsize often. Takes 10 minutes to set up. Wetsuit a requirement in cold conditions. Capri 16.5 - Added a furling jib to the equation, swing centerboard, stayed mast, reef points and jiffy reefing for the main. Draft is 6 inches with the board up, about 3-1/2 feet with it down. Good for 3 adults or 2 adults and a couple of kids. Huge cuddy forward where you can store lunch, dry clothes, etc. Takes 30-45 minutes to set up. Not as wet as the laser but not a dry ride either and will capsize/turtle. Capri 22 - Adds racing foil and multiple jibs/Genoas, adjustable jib/genoa cars, windward sheeting traveller, and adjustable backstay to the mix; also a spinnaker I haven't figured out yet. 4 foot fixed keel and 30 foot mast. Easily sails with 4-6 adults/kids. Has porta potty and sleeps 2 comfortably. Get to worry about things like batteries, outboards, nav lights, water depth and bridge clearance. Takes 2-3 hours to set up. We rarely get wet and that's usually just a bit of spray. Good luck and let us know what you decide to do.

I think you are getting a great boat for your area. I would not hesitate to take that into the ocean. I have taken a lot less several miles off shore. When I lived in the Azores the locals took row boats more than 7 miles offshore to fish. The way it is built looks like it is designed to keep the spray to a minimum from coming over the bow and sides. It looks a lot more seaworthy than many of the 22 foot sailboats I see out in the Gulf of Mexico that were really designed for lake sailing. You just have to watch the weather closely and never push it. I bet you can do some great near shore fishing on that boat.  

A few more notes. I watched the video again on the site. There are two additions I would make to the boat right away. If that traveler guide on the stern of the boat is rope or synthetic, I would replace it with SS cable right away. The last thing you want in a knock down situation is to have your boom and mainsail disabled because a gust of wind took out the traveler guide rope. Second I would get a good strength trolling motor and install to one side of the transom. It really kills a great day on the ocean to have the wind die and you have to paddle or swim the boat back to shore, I have done it too many times. The other thing you will find with a trolling motor is that you use the boat more often. There are days when you just do not feel like raising the mast but a nice motor out for a half hour is nice.

I had a traveler rope (that had some age and wear) snap once on Lake Monroe Florida. Really shallow lake that forms white caps fast. Scared the wife. I was able to tie off in a center position and keep on going.  

I took a good look at it today. It is in a lot of four that were used as rental boats. Three are pretty scuffed-up, I picked the nicest of the lot to bid on. The hull is solid with no cracks that I could detect, it could use a good polish and wax of course. The hardware is all stainless. It all could do with a polish, not rusty just cruddy. The blocks are Harken and spin freely, no winches. The rudder blade is fine but the two metal sheets it is sandwiched in and the tiller are junk. All the lines should be replaced. The sails are jammed in the forward storage, it's a toss-up on those, but what I see looks serviceable. It is a rope traveler and I will swap it for cable as suggested or something equivalently significant. The drop-down centerboard needs to be taken apart and serviced. Overall, I see a solid hull that needs no repairs, just cleaning. hardware to remove, clean and shine up. a rudder to be rebuilt. a centerboard system to clean and service. a couple of yards of line to replace. a traveler system to upgrade. No deal-breakers for me there. I won't know until the end of June if I won the auction so back the daily grind and we will see what transpires.  

Get the the March/April issue of Good Old Boat. It has an outstanding how to on building a rudder the right way on pages 35 through 41. It is not just a good article, it is an outstanding how to on building rudders. The project they did was for a large boat, but all the techniques apply to any size rudder. You can order the back issue online, it will be worth the $10 for oversees ording if you are going to build a rudder. http://www.goodoldboat.com/reader_services/back_issues.php#2010

Good luck on your auction bid. I'm sure you will love the benefits of a small boat that is easy to launch/sail/maintain. I just purchased a new Hunter 15, a similar boat to the American, Catalina 14.6, Precision 15 and probably many more that I am not aware of. I launched my boat for the first time this weekend on the Swan River in Perth, Western Australia. Fortunately the winds were only 5-10 knots, a civilised wind speed for my first time in this small boat. As to whether or not I would take a 15 footer on the ocean really depends on what conditions are usual in your part of the world. I used to sail a 21 foot daysailer of local design and with the strong winds during the summer here I was always glad to have a good deal of lead under the boat. From my first outing I saw that maintaining balance by correct positioning of the crew was going to be very important. Also make sure you have a mainsheet block system that allows you to quickly release the sheet to spill the wind and de-power. FYI, a set of new sails will probably cost you about $600-$700 (that is what a replacement set from North Sails cost for my Hunter). BTW, What is the typical wind strength and swell in your area?  

Hi I teach a basic sailing course at Budd Lake, NJ thru a group called SEAS. Our current fleet is made up of Aqua Finns and an American 14.6, with a few other boats for variety. We have had 2 14.6’s over the years. One of the reasons that we went with the 14’s is that American sail has beefed up the hulls of their boats where they normally get hit by students. (bow, sides) Also- for the same size boat they were a lot less expensive. And there was a spinnaker sail available. The boat is definably designed for protected waters, but that said I have had it out in white caps and small craft conditions, and on the Hudson River.( well that day was a race, and the wind was less than the current in the opposite direction, so I was heading north and making progress south J ). The sizing of the spars and lines is sufficient for the size of the boat, but it may not be for your conditions. I have dismasted it, but I had brought a safety boat along side and then caught the port shroud as I pulled away. The boat will turtle, but that has not been a problem as the lake is much shallower that the height of the mast. Our sister chapter in Westchester, NY does put floats at the top of the masts. When we had to repair the centerboard our maintenance crew installed an access port on the port side of the trunk. When using the spinnaker remember that the pad eye on the mast that receives the spinnaker pole may not be at the correct elevation. It depends on the cut of the sail. It could use a j\iffy reef system, but ours did not come with it. I have used the rock detection function of the centerboard (not on purpose) but the center board release worked well when needed. Please note there are no attachment points for safety lines. This is a beamy boat and the jib fairleads are fixed. I do not normally get a tight beat with this boat. I can get the Finns to point higher. But then again our 14.6 sails are really blown out. The mast is easy to raise and lower, but it is easier to find the split rings and cotter pins that get dropped if you raise/lower your mast over flat ground, and not when it is in the water (been there…). When we took it out of the water in the fall we pulled it up over a roller and on to the grass. We needed 4 strong people. There is a drain plug center stern. If that cavity needs constant draining then there are hairline cracks (or larger). Check the spec hull weight against the actual weight. You will need a manual bilge pump and a scoop. The cockpit will hold rain water, etc. Spin sail, pump and scoops will fit in the front storage area. I will usually place 2 canoe paddles in the boat. If the wind dies 1 paddler on each side will get us back to the beach. I can single hand this boat, assuming I do not need another body for movable ballast. What I will do is knot the 2 jib sheets so that I can always reach them. With 2 people it is good. With 3 people in the boat the 14 is faster than the Aqua Finns and I will have the helms person switch to the windward side as req’d. . With 4 people in the boat the Finns are faster, and it depends on the wind as to who moves. I have had 6 people on board in heavier winds and the boat is fun. Lighter winds with 6 people the boat does not move. Dave down at American Sail does stand behind his products. I have met him several times at the various boats shows that he does on the East coast(Atlantic City and Annapolis ) and parts are still available. Check to see if there are other 14’s in your area. Local support is really important. Hillary  

Especially examine the standing rigging. The boat has been in use by relatively ignorant types [assume this in a rental fleet.] and has probably been worked hard. If it breezes up suddenly assume that you will want the extra strength of slightly heavier standing rigging. Once you are in unprotected water the ability to stay together is very important. I am Hillary's companion and agree that these are able boats. You have to keep up with the maintainence even in a fiberglass boat. Inspect the bilges regularly making sure you drain the hull. This will also keep you posted on the condition of the hull and its tightness. In addition to wearing a life jacket, make it a point to wear the jacket for an hour or two before you purchase it. If it feels comfortable, you are more likely to wear it. Eric  

If you are interested in roller furling, make sure that you upgrade the headstay at least one size. You will be adding new loads to the stay and it can get embarassing if it goes away out on the water. Eric If you have the standard jib on the boat you don't need roller furling. Just add a line to be used as a downhaul from the jib head, run down to the bow and then back to the cockpit. But if you want to go with the roller check with Dave re your conditions to see if he recomends upping the hardware and which hardware to upgrade (forestay down to fasteners) If you are considering it for reefing purposes then yes, and make sure the main can be reefed as well. Also because the shrouds are aft of the mast (better for stresses) the jib lines are usually run outside. which does not give a tight beat. Hillary  

I have a 13' CHrysler Pirateer. I sail it on Lake Michigan close to shore also. I have a ton of fun in that little boat. It is a great way to learn to sail. However, before I every went onto the water I went to ASA sailing school. I have dumped it and was able to climb back in. Adrenaline was running high the first time. Couldn't get back in the second time but I was so close to shore I walked the boat in. Buy it and have fun with it. Use it for a teder for your next boat. Oh yeah, whatever you pay for it you will spend exactly that much on it right away....mark my words. Here's a photo of mine. Boat cost $125.00. After trailer, paint job, spare mast and sails I have $1000.00 invested. http://members.csinet.net/dhapp/pirateer/Chrysler_Pirateer_Page_1.html  

That's a very similar-looking craft. So far, it appears interest in the boat is low. They have a lot of four and I am cautiously optimistic about my chances. The authorities have indicated I am ok with no operator's permit so I can get out on the water directly. Also, I am confirmed for my basic keelboat class in August! :dance:

American 14.6

American 14.6 is a 14 ′ 6 ″ / 4.4 m monohull sailboat built by American Sail Inc, starting in 1988.

Rig and Sails

Auxilary power, accomodations, calculations.

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.
• LWL: Waterline length in feet

Comfort Ratio

This ratio assess how quickly and abruptly a boat’s hull reacts to waves in a significant seaway, these being the elements of a boat’s motion most likely to cause seasickness. Read more.

Comfort ratio = D ÷ (.65 x (.7 LWL + .3 LOA) x Beam 1.33 )

• D: Displacement of the boat in pounds
• LOA: Length overall in feet
• Beam: Width of boat at the widest point in feet

Capsize Screening Formula

This formula attempts to indicate whether a given boat might be too wide and light to readily right itself after being overturned in extreme conditions. Read more.

CSV = Beam ÷ ³√(D / 64)

2001 J46 sailboat sail boat J-46 sailing cruiser racing fresh water. UPGRADES!

Charlevoix, Michigan

Make J Boats

Length 46.0

Beautiful, generously equipped and meticulously cared for freshwater J46 owned by senior couple. Used only for day sailing and minimal light cruising in northern Lake Michigan, Lake Huron and Lake Charlevoix for only 12 four month seasons (was not launched in 2012 and 2013). Always kept in inside heated storage when not in the water for the four month summer season. It is in pristine condition. J/46 may be the only investment grade sailing yacht of its size not requiring professional crew to sail at designed performance levels…..or to maintain. Two people can easily manage her upwind and down to achieve the same 8 knot passage-making speeds under sail that is possible when motoring with 76hp diesel auxiliary. The joy of sailing the perfect boat is, after all, a goal we believe every owner ultimately seeks. To insure that good sailing days are spent sailing rather than scrubbing and varnishing, J/46 is designed to be virtually maintenance-free. Her exquisite joinerwork is protected from the sun……below decks where it’s beauty can be preserved More photos available in this link: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1QEllizB6x4FKTe3kGwlbjYaLgJMrQEg8x6PdVtIa14Y/pub Factory Options: Refrigeration Package: -Seafrost Mechanical Refrigeration.-Additional Plates & controls for Freezer.-Supplementary 110VAC Shore power Assist.

Helped by new materials and techniques, they evolve from the joint experiences of designer, builder and owners to become state-of-the-art. J/46 is such a vessel, inheriting the proven hull shape of the J/44, an offshore blue water classic, having won the Fastnet, Sydney-Hobart, NYYC Queen’s Cup and Trans-Atlantic races. J/44 is the only Class of yacht ever to be given its own class start by the Cruising Club of America in the Newport-Bermuda Race. To create the J/46, a foot of sailing length is added for speed; a transom swim/boarding platform for convenience; a carbon fiber mast and low VCG 6.2’ shoal draft keel for more stability; and a resin-infused, composite hull and deck for greater strength. Below decks, the choice was clear, use the same beautifully varnished cherry or teak joiner work, entertainment center and styling so highly acclaimed in our deluxe J/160. J/46 is a maxi-Ditch yacht, the tallest yacht that can fit under the bridges of the Intra-Coastal WWaterway. Yet she is non-intimidating. A high length-to-beam ratio on the waterline of this sea-kindly yacht significantly improves tracking offshore in large waves and makes sail plan balance less critical. J/46 sails with either main or jib only, always responding predictably to a light touch on the helm. Sail power with good stability allows cruising with working jib rather than large genoa. That’s less work for the crew and improved visibility for the person on the helm. J Boats’ unique spinnaker system makes downwind sailing possible for two. A modern asymmetric spinnaker attaches to the top of the anchor roller, is contained within a cockpit-controlled snuffer, and is stored, ready-to-use, in the bow locker. The spinnaker is hoisted to the masthead, 2’ above the headstay intersect, leaving space for the snuffer to shift on a jibe. Jibing is then easy. One simply lets off one spinnaker sheet and pulls in the other.

New glow plug for quick starts in cold weather added.Installed air vacuum pump for engine compartment, with switch in sail locker starboard side.Rudder shaft stuffing box freshly repacked.Tai-Pan has a 12" brass prop, which may appear too small for a boat this size, but It pushes Tai-Pan 5.5-6 knots and interferes very little while sailing. Charging SystemsIn 2004 Tai-Pan's electrical charging system was recently rewired by Rasmussen Marine Electric. Inc. for AC and DC charging. This involved installing new Phase Three model PT-14 3 stage smart charger, two battery banks (house and starter), New breaker switch for windlass, charging solinoid, volt and temp guages in cockpit, FWD bilge pump, new ground bar and wiring, with new electric switches charging, outlets, and heating. (Total cost $3,268.24),I later added a third house battery bank and three solar panels (18 w, 23 w, & 48 w) hooked separately to each battery bank w separate battery controllers. Deck:Tai-Pan has a cosmetic teak deck overlaying a solid wood deck, which is covered on both sides with fiberglas. The teak deck is tough as nails and as long as she is well caulked with Boat Life Teak Deck Sealant, her deck should stay high and dry many years to come.Recently added another scupper on both port and starboard side, to aid water drainage. Entire deck appears hard and firm, with no signs of damage to underlayment. Sails: Tai-Pan is a simple mast head sloop with a Hood twin grooved jib roller furling system? The only sails Tai-Pan really needs to go sailing are her main sail, her furling jib. However, because my plans were to circumnavigate on Tai-Pan, I have added much to her sail inventory and her rigging.Her sail inventory now consists of:Two main sails, Two Furling Genoas approximately 150% (One low cut light, and one high cut heavier sail.One Storm sail hanks onto an inner forestay with two running back stays during extreme weather conditions.One Trysail that fits on separate mast track for extreme stormy weather. One large Melges asymmetrical sail with spinnaker sock that fits on removable bow sprit.One small drifter sail (multicolored) that attaches to bow spritOne inner forestay sail w 28' of leach for cruising.One 100% yankee hank on jib sail that fits new solent stay that has not yet been installed, but has all the attachments to do so. Spars: In 2008, I removed the Sitca Spruce mast, rebonded open joints with epoxy, repainted mast, replaced old brass masthead wire sheaves with custom built Acetal (also known as Delrin) sheaves to accommodate two new main and jib halyards of VPC New England rope, which are polyester braid cover with a core of blended Vectran and MFP (polypropylene). I also replaced three old wire rope winches on mast with Barient 22's and one Barient 21. I left on wire mast up haul intact. I also installed one new spinnaker halyard and inner stay halyard of same VPC material. of same material.Tai-Pan still contains her original Sitca spruce furling boom, which would be handy for shortening sail or raising boom to accompany a high bimini.Original Sitca spruce spinnaker pole. Removable Bow Sprit added for flying Asymetrical or Code Zero sails off spinnaker halyard.Two extendable 19' whisker poles for downwind sailing wing-on-wing with two jibs, either both attached to the twin grooved Hood furler, or attached to the new Solent stay, which has yet to be installed. One white 4"x19' extending aluminum whisker pole stored on starboard deck, and one Seldon Sweden built aluminum whisker pole. One Heavy duty spinaker pole track attached to the mast, with pin-style toggle car to fit whisker poleOne aluminum extendable Forespar light air whisker pole 2" x 16.5' that I use for loading dinghy onto foredeck.

38' x 24' Offshore, Pro-built cruising trimaran

New Bern, North Carolina

email for pictures or see them on cruisersforum.......This is not a amateur built boat, she was built by a boat builder for himself and the Craftsmanship is seen throughout. This is a foam core, epoxy built offshore cruiser. She has a comfortable aft cabin, two sets of bunkbeds forward,huge cockpit, very wide CANTED amas with a walkway forward. Her sails have very little use and she spent 20 years in fresh water at Toronto Multihull Club. She has US papers but was built in Canada, so she was registered in Canada for those years. I am enclosing an old photobucket site from Roze, I bought her from him almost 4 years ago. She has newer pictures on you tube and can be found by searching for Harris trimaran. There isn't a trimaran under a $100,000 that will hold a candle to her and she is priced much less. She has a recent survey by multihull surveyor "John Marples" with a current market value of $65k and is currently insured. I will consider a trailerable multihull in trade. I Her main and jib are in excellent condition, her freeboard was painted 2 years ago with epoxy,... HARRIS SUNDOWNER 38, SAILING TRIMARAN CUTTER, “WINGS” REGISTRATION: USCG doc. No. 800220 HIN; not seen DATE OF SURVEY August 14, 2011 (report amended 1/23/12) PLACE OF SURVEY Yarmouth, Maine SUMMARY At the request of Mr. Stephen Marcoe, of Reno, Nevada, the undersigned did attend aboard the subject vessel on the above time and place for the purpose of determining the general condition and value, by visual inspection only. The vessel was inspected while blocked on the ground. GENERAL Type Sailing Inboard diesel auxiliary trimaran cutter Dimensions length – 38’, beam – 24’, draft – 3’6”(est.) Displacement 8,100 lb. (published) Ballast none. Builder unknown Year built 1980 (reported by owner) Service pleasure, racing DESCRIPTION OF VESSEL WINGS was a modern fiberglass trimaran, designed by Bob Harris, for pleasure cruising and racing. She had "V" bottom outer hulls, and main hull having a rounded section with fixed keel. The hulls have spoon bows with some overhang and reverse transoms. The vessel was three hulls with two “wing” structure beams connecting them. There were escape hatches in both main hull cabins and deck access hatches in the outer hulls. All accommodations were in the main hull with a chain locker forward. Next aft was a stateroom with a fixed lower berth and upper pipe berth. Next aft was a head and lavatory to port. The main cabin was midships with dinette to port and a settee opposite. The galley was aft of that with entry from the cockpit on the starboard side. A narrow passageway lead under the cockpit seat to an aft cabin, adjacent to the transom. There was a double berth there. A separate companionway hatch from the cockpit also had access to the aft cabin. The vessel was rigged with single spreaders, split lower shrouds and running forestay and running backstays. The main shrouds, headstay and backstay were attached at the mast head. An inboard diesel auxiliary motor was mounted under the cockpit, aft of the galley. The motor and steering controls were located in the cockpit. CONSTRUCTION SIDESHELLS: Fiberglass cored sandwich. The core material was unknown.

The vessel had been stored for an extended time at the marine yard prior to this survey. The boat was a SUNDOWNER design and was fitted with a fixed keel and had an aft cabin. The forward aka had stainless rods (photo 2 & 3), welded to chainplates, through the aka with a link plate, tightened with nuts over the top. The reason for and condition of the rods is unknown. The interior was small and contained only within the main hull, without wing pods or extensions. The gear stowed below made it difficult to assess the available space and the utility of arrangement. The engine was mounted in an open space with a cover, which was heavy and awkward to move for access to the engine. Steering cables, also in that area, were exposed and should be covered. The rigging cables were very heavy for a boat of this size and weight. If the vessel sails at the design displacement of 8100 lbs., the Bruce No. is 1.27 which indicates a good Page 4 of 12 Survey Harris 38 WINGS August 14, 2011 file Harris38Mar811 performance potential. The boat was a good example of the type and after completion and repairs recommended below, should be capable of performing the service for which it was intended. STANDARDS OF INSPECTION 1. STANDARDS AND RECOMMENDED PRACTICES FOR SMALL CRAFT, published by American Boat and Yacht Council (ABYC), 3090 Solomons Island Road, Edgewater, Md. 21037-1416 ABYC standards are the product of a consensus of representatives of government, industry and public sectors. It is intended solely as a guide to aid the manufacturer, the consumer and the general public in the design, construction and equipage and maintenance of small craft. Standards and technical information reports are advisory only; their use is entirely voluntary. They are guides to achieving a specific level of design or performance, and are not intended to preclude attainment of desired results by other means. The ABYC standards are subject to periodic review and updating. Their use is endorsed by virtually all financial and insurance companies. NFPA 302, FIRE PROTECTION STANDARD FOR PLEASURE AND COMMERCIAL MOTOR CRAFT, published by National Fire Protection Association,(NFPA), 1 Batterymarch Park, Quincy, Ma. 02269-9101 The Fire Protection Standard for Pleasure and Commercial Motor Craft represents the cumulative result of over 69 years of attention to fire safety of powerboats by the NFPA. The first edition of these standards were adopted in 1937, the most recent in 1998. They concern mostly engine, cooking and heating equipment, fire control and electrical systems with particular attention to ignition sources. Many of these standards are very similar in scope and practice to the ABYC standards. FEDERAL REQUIREMENTS AND SAFETY TIPS FOR RECREATIONAL BOATS, published by the United States Coast Guard (USCG), U.S. Department of Transportation, Boating Safety division. This booklet is the free handbook available at most marinas and marine hardware stores. It outlines the safety, lighting and equipment requirements for all recreational vessels. Section 89 of Title 14 of the United States Code authorizes the U.S. Coast Guard to board vessels subject to the jurisdiction of the U.S., anytime upon the high seas and upon waters over which the U.S. has jurisdiction, to make inquiries, examinations, inspections, searches, seizures and arrests. Compliance with these requirements is mandatory. A copy of this booklet is enclosed with this survey report. CODE OF FEDERAL REGULATIONS, CFR 46 and 33: Shipping, published by the Office of the Federal Register, National Archives and Records Administration. This Code of Regulations deals mostly with commercial vessels but its scope includes recreational vessels under sections pertaining to Marine Sanitation Devices (MSDs) and Fuel Page 5 of 12 Survey Harris 38 WINGS August 14, 2011 file Harris38Mar811 tankage. Most of the regulations are covered by the ABYC regulations, regarding equipment. These regulations cover the use of equipment. FINDINGS AND RECOMMENDATIONS FOUND: Fuel fill hose and vent hose were plastic. RECOMMEND: Replace with rubber hose, USCG A1 or A2 to comply with ABYC and NFPA guidelines. FOUND; Exposed steering cables in galley area. RECOMMEND: Install covers to protect crew from moving cables and sheaves. FOUND: Disconnected wiring on engine should be removed. RECOMMEND: Remove unused wiring. FOUND: Kerosene lamp in aft cabin lacks heat deflector. RECOMMEND: Install heat deflector before operating lamp. FOUND: Port cabinside finish damaged – checking marks indicated. RECOMMEND: Refinish port cabinside to preclude damage to laminate. FOUND: Winches lack recent service to prevent internal corrosion. Starboard primary winch frozen and may be damaged beyond repair. RECOMMEND: Inspect and service winches. FOUND: Stainless steel rods through forward aka, welded to chainplates, not visible on interior. If these rods are considered vital structural components, they should be inspected periodically. RECOMMEND: Remove chainplate with welded rod and inspect rod for corrosion. FOUND: Running forestay lower terminal curved, causing kink in cable. RECOMMEND: Replace cable assembly. FOUND: Paint on mast and boom peeling and flaking. RECOMMEND: Refinish mast and boom with suitable coating to prevent corrosion. FOUND: Crack in bulkhead adjacent to aft aka, near aft cabin entry (photo 8). RECOMMEND: Inspect for damage, makes repairs to bulkhead. SUMMATION Subject to the preceding recommendations and the correction of the noted deficiencies, WINGS was found to be in generally good condition and should be deemed to be an acceptable risk for its intended use and route in the hands of an experienced crew under reasonable operating conditions. It should be noted that it is the responsibility of the owner and operator to be familiar with the safety systems aboard and be prepared to use them if necessary. The Estimated Market Value of this vessel was determined through consideration of several factors. The most current published listings, Internet resources and yacht brokers were used to determine the recent selling prices of similar vessels of the same age and type. The condition of the vessel at the time of survey and the extent of her equipment had considerable influence, as did the popularity and marketability of the particular type of vessel in this geographic area. The Estimated Replacement Cost is the estimated cost of a new vessel of similar size, type and quality. Page 6 of 12 Survey Harris 38 WINGS August 14, 2011 file Harris38Mar811 ESTIMATED MARKET VALUE $ 65,000 ESTIMATED REPLACEMENT COST $350,000 DISCLAIMER This survey is made without prejudice and reflects the opinion and judgment of the undersigned. It is not a warranty, implied or otherwise, of the condition of this vessel, its hull or machinery. As far as can be ascertained from a general examination of the vessel, out of the water, without making removals, taking borings, testing for tightness, of trying out machinery, it is the opinion of the undersigned that when the above deficiencies have been corrected, this vessel will be in satisfactory condition for operation. The scope of this report is confined to this surveyor’s opinion only. Any controversy or claim arising out of this survey shall be settled by arbitration in accordance with the rules of the Commercial Arbitration Rules of the American Arbitration Association, and judgment upon the award rendered by the arbitrator(s) may be entered into any court having jurisdiction thereof.
