Whoa dingy. The little boat that ferries us from our big boat to land, affectionately named “Kate” (after Kate Upton) is near death. She has had a slow leak since Hawaii and has been slowly getting worse. Her hypalon tubes have 3 chambers and one has a small leak in it. We used to have to pump her up every 3 days. That’s not to bad. But when we left her while going back to the states that chamber filled with water and I had to cut a hole in it I drain the water.
On the second evening of our 960 mile passage from Hawaii to Palmyra atoll we decided to keep the spinnaker up through the night. The day had been light but consistent wind and the boat was so well balanced we were sailing at 5 knots in 8 knots of wind with almost no heeling. We slept like babies. The next day the winds picked up in the after noon so we stowed the big spinnaker and sailed on. more
By now we have patched the dingy with 5200 and it holds air for 24 hours so we can get around. The outboard is running again after I took the carburetor off and had it rebuilt at the local mechanics shop. I don’t think we are going to buy a new dingy here. It’s just to expensive. Our best option is to go to the local charter companies, they have many charter boats and all them have a dingy. We have spoken with one that says it has several used PVC dingys. I am sure they are beat up but hopefully they will hold air. And that’s really all you need it to do. more
Sailboats are propelled partly or entirely by sails and include a variety of types from cutters to sloops and catboats to schooners. Traditionally sailboats are monohull displacement hulls, but catamarans and multi-hulls are becoming more common.
There are many kinds of sailboats and they carry different rigs (masts, supporting shrouds and stay, and sail combinations). Sloops have one mast and generally two sails – a mainsail and a headsail called a jib or genoa. If there are two headsails, the boat is usually called a cutter rig. Ketches have two masts with the aft mast shorter than the main mast. Yawls also have a shorter aft mast but it’s farther back on deck than a ketch. A schooner can have two or three masts with the forward-most one being shorter. more
Sailboats differ by size, use and strength of build – so it’s important to consider carefully which type of sailboat is best for your intended use. Once you understand the different options available, you can make an educated choice. more
