How to buy a sailboat – Part II
Once you know exactly how, where and when to use your dream boat, the next question To be answered is "What are the characteristics of a boat more suited to how I use the boat?" I think this question is answered better in five dimensions: the type of rigging, sail plan, keel type, interior design and housing Hull in general. Many great books are available to discuss these considerations in any level of detail you want. Here is an overview fast.
depending on the platform and sail area to keep pace. In general, there is a compromise between ease of handling and sailing safety and flexibility. For example, a cat rigged boat with a large candle and no headsail (think laser) is easy to handle by one person, because there is only a candle. If you're days of sailing in a small lake or near the coast, where you can shelter from the heat if things He This is a great platform, simple, easy to use, quick set-up. However, there is a very flexible design, because it can not be laughing veil great success. Marconi sloop A standard is a higher level of flexibility by adding a second (head) that can be resized, scroll to accommodate changing wind speed. In addition, these devices offer today, almost invariably, furling genoa, at least in the one or two candles, Progress adjustments simple and easy. This is definitely a platform with the flexibility to allow the stronger the wind.
The disadvantage that they have added a second sailing to manage, edit and furl. In addition, the sloop is still quite limited in terms of changes you can make plans for sailing. The cutting device is the next stage of the flexibility with two headsail and usually a smaller sail. This configuration of significantly larger in the configuration of the sail and a much broader spectrum of wind range in which the ship can navigate with ease. Reward is a third candle handle. Finally, the bipolar system yolas ketchs drawings and offer the highest level of flexibility and therefore a greater range of wind speeds for navigate seamlessly through. The obvious drawback is a complication, two masts, sails 4-6. For my money, wins the launch of the bay, the Great Lakes and coastal shipping, while I would have at least one mower for ocean crossings, with the ketch and yawl is much better.
Keel Next is the consideration of two main issues, the depth and type. deep keel allow greater stability (under heel) and an angle of weather (Wind), but by limiting the places you can safely navigate without running aground. For me, the fundamental question is easy riders should opt for the deeper keel practices for the navigation area, the difference in the downwind legs can be dramatic. I recommend deep keel to any other person spends a lot of time playing on the windward side (whatever). For all other shallower best, cruising grounds, anchorages safer and less chance of hitting something on the fly. So if you are doing offshore passages or even long passages coastal, I recommend a boat Full keel tracks better and do much better "exploitation" of a shallow keel. Alternatively, if you do a lot of maneuvers nearby, I would not have a full keel instead of opting for the keel.
Interior range from almost nothing in tanks run luxury flourished (microwave, flat screen TV, DVD players). The simple rule is to match the type of navigation with the kind of inside. I think for everyone, but the driver core, the budget is dictated by (more on that in Part III).
Finally, consider the type of helmet in general. I examine two dimensions: SA / D (sail area to displacement ratio) to estimate the overall speed and D / L (moving the length relationship) for global stability and maneuverability. It is not a perfect fit and manufacturers tend to fudge figures (but another article) but is a good reference in general.
In summary, the first step in buying a sailboat that will make you happy is to know exactly and in detail how you will use the boat. The second step is to identify characteristics a boat that best fit your usage and start looking for boats with these characteristics.

Technique for use of Great Stuff foam on the boat inside?
We have a sailboat insulated steel removable foam Polystyrene against the hull. However, the space is not isolated in long narrow areas between the wooden slats in the side of the hull and the hull itself. We would like to use foam Great things spray to fill this gap, looking for suggestions as to how to proceed. Would be spray before replacing parts styrofoam great because if the foam spray would be more or less cement the pieces in place, which makes it difficult later inspection of the hull. Spray then cut when wet, it is likely that compromises the insulating properties. On the other hand, overflow section, and then dry it can affect our freshly painted. Any suggestions on how to make an effective application of spray foam?
If I had to do, I would put the paper in sytrofoam and where the ideal material to go. Styrofoam protect and allow the paper removed for inspection. Glue the paper down before using the spray. Regards, Dan
