Don’t know really. But it is lighter. The best things about the aluminum is that the sail bundle gets smaller and that sheetlets and lazy jacks doesn’t snag on the unevenness of the bamboo. It is also much easier to stretch the sail along the battens.
Matti – on our way to Rödlöga and possibly Mariehamn/Rödskär tomorrow.

It looks so tidy with the aluminium. What’s the weight difference?

Hej,
Vilken fantastisk båt du har, och ett underbart namn. Min yngsta dotter heter Linnea.

Jag har köpt ett skrov och däck. Det är 11 meter långt och 4 meter brett, Colin Archer typ. Jag funderar nu på att rigga henne med en eller två master och en djonkrigg. Är intresserad av att få komma i kontakt med Dig för att diskutera frågan om det är lämpligt att rigga henne med en djonkrigg och om så är fallet vem som kan räkna på storlek på master och segel m.m.
Mvh
Erik

Hi Kari. Here is the adress of the company that sent us bamboo from Germany.

> BambusCentrum Deutschland
> Baumschule Eberts GbR
> Wolfgang Eberts und Friedrich Eberts
> Saarstraße 3-5 D-76532 Baden-Baden

I am really not sure that aluminium would be havier, though. Even if bamboo really is a light material, you might get cracks etc in it, so they need to be oversized. We are planning on changeing from bamboo to aluminium.

Hello

I have a junkrigged Fingal 28 lying in Holland at the moment. I just like to know were did you find the bamboo poles in Germany?
I´d like to replace the highest batten and the boom with bamboo, because the aluminium ones i do have at the moment are too heavy.
I just found out that Bamboo pole 50/55mm x 6 m is just around 3 kg? Is it really so light?
The aluminium ones i have are 65/3mm x 6m.
If you can help me find the supplier in Germany, i can take contact with them.

You have a really beautiful boat!!

Thank You

Kari Suosalmi, Sailor from Finland

Ah, I just saw that you asked about the engine room as well. The engine is situated under the sole in the steering station. So there is plenty of room. But we are going to modify it a bit to make it a bit easier to reach everything.

Hi Adam.
We use an MD 2020, Volvo Penta engine, 17-18 hp. We have a 3-bladed Kiwi-prop that I think is slightly too small, so we might change the blades to get some more bite.

How large is the engine room on this boat?

What sort of engine do you use?
