Optimist Gunwale looking for the perfect design

Image
Thinking ahead to the time when we will add the gunwales (gunnels) has got my mind racing. I remember dinghies I sailed as a kid, and they always seemed to have some sizable gunwales to sit on. Some of the plywood Optimist Prams don't offer much surface area for the helmsman's backside. I know our kids will start out in light wind conditions, but it won't take long for them to want to sit on the high-side and hike while sailing. In my searching for the best solution for this design I looked at the Club Racer by Bateau. They seem to have a comfy looking gunwale, so I looked into the way they created their version. A complete guide to the construction of the Club Racer is located at: http://www.latitude2739.com/club-racer.asp It is a really nice looking Optimist that is the same as the epoxy/wood version of the Optimist as described by the IODA standards. Bateau claims that it differs in that it is much easier to build and will be more durable, and last longer. They start the...

Sailing by Hinchenbrook to Orpheus Island

Image
10-11 October 2016 After a week at Dunk Island it was definitely time to get underway again. We had two options. We could go south via the Hinchinbrook Channel   or sail down the seaward side of the island. The plus for the channel was that everyone we have spoken to who has been through it says it’s absolutely beautiful. The negatives we’d been advised of were swarms of mosquitoes and sand flies which make life uncomfortable when anchored at night and the presence of many large crocodiles so no swimming or crabbing as the crocs break pots up to steal the bait.   Given it was forecast to be a warm, windless night, the prospect of spending the evening locked below to avoid being eaten alive by bugs wasn’t very appealing so we elected to take the seaward route and make a stop at Zoe Bay on Hinchenbrook Island where we’d read there is a National Parks walk to a waterfall and rock pool. Once more we had a Plan B which involved continuing straight on to Orpheus Island if conditions...
