Helmut,
Thanks. I was sent the pictures which look great. Can I ask you a
few questions about the rig:
(1) How do you fit the leach reefing lines - are they run along the
wishbone booms, then down the mast and back along the cabin top to
the cockpit?
(2) Do you have two reefs in the main?
(3) Is the luff reinforced with wire?
(4) Are there some kind of loops that keep the luff of the sail
attached to the mast?
(5) I guess that with the larger roach you get a good performance to
windward?
Thanks for any advise on this.

Hi,
I am the new owner of the FR44 IVORY GOOSE Mike Capel mentioned he
sailed last week end. Before purchasing the FR44 I sailed the
FR35CB
“FLOODTIDE” for 24 years which I ordered in 1981at the London boat
show.
The included photos of the FR35CB “Samiel” I made a few days after
first
rigging the through battened sails without using a track. Trim
could be
better and today after some years experience they are optimal
trimmed
and “Samiel” is extremely fast.

Hello Michel
Can you please tell me how to find the pics of Samiel
on this board?
I’m about to convert my F40CC to a Wylie system and am
very interested in this whole subject.

Philip,
I like your plan! I did not try it myself because I
sold my F33/35
CK beforehand, but if you indeed follow the ideas of
Tom Wylie (of
Wyliecat) you must be able to build a high performance
rig. If you
select your track and cars carefully, you must be able
to swing out
your sails far enough, i.e. forward of the mast. Make
sure you let
the sails build by someone with experience with
unstayed rigs; the
mast bend is different and therefore the roach is
affected in a
different way when the wind pipes up. Let us know what
you decide,
I’m sure there are many more catketch owners
interested in rig
improvements beyond the ordinary conversion to
conventional booms.
Last weekend I had a sail on a F44 with conventional
booms and I was
amazed by the forces exerted on the boom kicker. Using
the
wishbones, these forces are different and I would
think far less
than with booms. During this same sailing event
(European Freedom
Meeting in the Netherlands) there was an F33/35 CK
with a
revolutionary rig (see pics of S/Y Samiel on this
board) that almost
kept up with two F44’s !
Good luck.

I have the old wrap around sails on my cat ketch.
The main problem
is
ease of handling and stowing. Also relatively poor
performance. To
solve these problems with the rig I plan to keep the
wishbone
booms,
add track and fully battened sails with large roach.
I would rig
the
wishbone like on a tanton or wyliecat; this could be
achieved by
simply turning the most 180 degress and using the
boom lift
attachments (thanks Mike Capel for the idea). The
large roach
should
add lift with reduced drag = more power.
I can see very few problems with this plan although
perhaps I will
not
be able to swing the boom so far forward of the beam
a minor problems since they should still be possible
to swing to
over
90 degress.
Is there any problem with this plan and has anyone
else tried this?
Philip
