spike Posted August 14, 2020 Report Share Posted August 14, 2020 Question for Amanda builders/owners... Will she plane under sail to any degree? Easily, or only with a bone in her teeth, or not at all? How about with 400 lbs of persons/gear? Thanks! Neil Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Don Silsbe Posted August 15, 2020 Report Share Posted August 15, 2020 I can’t believe nobody’s responding, Spike. I don’t have one, and sailed B&B’s only once. On the plus side, the flatter v-bottom should plane off quicker than a Spindrift. On the minus side, the standing lug rig is a little slower than the Spindrift’s Bermuda rig (except off-wind). Not sure what it would take to get on one with a 400# payload. That’s scary. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Designer Posted August 16, 2020 Report Share Posted August 16, 2020 Yes she will. I have done it solo with 60 # of gear. Naturally the more you load it the harder it is to get her going but on a broad reach with and some swell and you are brave, it is achievable. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
