r/Sailboats

I need some help, I just picked up this boat off of Facebook marketplace. It was sold by a neighbor of the owner who died and know almost nothing about the boat. The 2 places I know to look for info are ruined or gone, so I’m going off of photos.

There is some jank and broken/repaired parts and i have a box with some more parts but I’m not sure if it’s complete or not. I want to fix it proper because it does seem like a very nice boat

In particular the top of the mast has been broken, fixed (Bradley) and then broke again. The sails might not even be correct.

Some help identifying would be appreciated

I dont want to, but it is a lot of boat for one person. And I mean handling it, enjoying it. Sailing it. Ive realized I need a smaller boat with a trailer. So if anyone wants to help me find her forever home it would be amazing. I dont want to but this is likely the best path for her.

so I’m definitely new here I just wanted to show Tui my ol reliable vessel.

As far as I know there’s not too too much information out there on the 23 calgan’s epically not the pop top variants (as far as I’ve been able to find there was maybe a dozen made?)

The important thing is it’s a good reliable starter vessel and I’m trying my best to now redo the interior bit by bit to make it a better liveaboard ♥️

I’m very excited to join the sailing community!!

Any Sailboat enthusiasts that could tell me the make and model of this Sailboat? Would mean a lot if someone could help me

Good day,

It might be a long shot but here goes nothing…

I am a 36yr old Marine Corps Veteran living down in the Caribbean (USVI) on and off since 2007 and am looking for any free or low cost seaworthy sailing vessel.

I have my 200T license in processing with a basic understanding of sailing and some rudder time under my belt.

I am my nephews only family and he now lives with me. I would like to set him up with something that he can learn on WITH me or eventually inherit from me and sail around himself. He is 22 years old and yearns for the sea and all the knowledge that comes with it.

Any leads or help would be greatly appreciated. 🤙

-Fair winds and following seas-

I just got a Catalina 22 and am a first time sailboat owner and haven’t sailed before. What are these parts on my Catalina 22?

The blue circle shows the line with a block towards the aft end of the boom. I don’t think it’s the outhaul, but I could be wrong. If it’s not one, I need to figure out how to add an outhaul.
The white circle is a line that connects to the gooseneck. It is tied to this line circled in blue, but is its own line. No idea what its purpose is.
And then not sure what the parts circled in red are for.

First pic is mine taken from the Wooden Boat Festival. The rest are scraped from the web.
The long low foredeck reminds me of a C3 model corvette. But less mustache-y.

(Pronounced “flee-buren”, roughly translates to “Airborne” in Swedish)
This is one of many designs from the pen of noted Swedish designer Knud Reimers. Called a “Tumlaren” (tr: Porpoise) they were designed in 1934 for racing in the deep fjords and coastal waters of northern Europe. It is a smaller version of his noted “Albatross” design.
The sail plan is designed to meet the requirements of the 20 Square meter class of boats raced along those waters in the 30’s. The distinctive high aspect fractional rig and short tacked head sail allows the boat to capture a range of wind conditions within the sail area requirements of the class. Today she also sports a genoa on a roller furler and a modern asymmetrical spinnaker.
Her full keel, canoe stern and tumblehome hull make her a stable but nimble platform in the demanding conditions found in her home waters. Her austere, but welcoming interior can accommodate two for short cruising trips with an alcohol stove and dry head.
Completed in 1993, this version was built locally in Kirkland over 6 years by Andy MacConkey. Typically carvel planked, this version benefits from a cold molded hull over 4 layers of cedar. She was later painstakingly refitted and renovated by Mark Bickford around 2019, including new custom bronze hardware and winches from Port Townsend Foundry. Her sails and covers were thoughtfully crafted by Sean and Inger at Northwest Sails and Canvas in Port Hadlock.
She is currently under the stewardship of Frank Brennan and is homeported in Eagle Harbor.

I'm hoping someone here can help identify a sailboat I've come across. Unfortunately, I'm not sure of the make or model, but I've attached a photo.

Thanks in advance for any help!
