The Warsash One Design is a 27 ft sailing yacht which was constructed in GRP by Russell Marine of Leigh on Sea, Essex, in the 1960s. The yacht was designed by Fred Parker, a member of the Royal Institution of Naval Architects, and drew heavily on the design of the Folkboat. The principal differences between the Warsash One Design (WOD) and the Folkboat are the WOD’s counter stern, masthead rig and substantial encapsulated lead ballast, giving a ballast ratio of 60%. A lazarette in the counter stern incorporated an outboard well with removable GRP plug, which allowed the yacht to be propelled by a small outboard engine. Accommodation below is basic with settee berths to port and starboard. Forward of the main bulkhead there’s a small forepeak with a SL400 sea toilet beneath. A rudimentary galley is incorporated just forward of the companionway. Interior joinery is of marine plywood on hardwood frames and the hull interior finish is painted GRP. The WOD was initially intended as an offshore one design class (a contemporary Royal Ocean Racing Club rating certificate gives a rating of 17.78 feet) but the WOD proved to be an extremely capable offshore cruiser and became a popular choice for long distance voyaging. Jim Dilley sailed WOD 25 ‘Reiger’ from the UK to New Zealand and two WODs have participated in the Jester Challenge.〔http://www.jesterinfo.org/pressreleasenumber3.html〕 The principal dimensions are as follows: *LOA 26 ft 8 inches *LWL 19 ft 8 inches *Beam 7 ft 3 inches *Draft 4 ft 0 inches *Sail area (main and working jib) 234 square feet *Displacement 2 tons *Lead ballast 1.2 tons *Ballast ratio 60% ==References== * * * 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア(Wikipedia)』 ■ウィキペディアで「Warsash One Design」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
