I took a deep dive into the youtube history of this boat... videos posted by the two previous owners of your boat. So glad you found her! You are such a good steward of that impressive vessel.

Agree. Avalanche/Hammerhead 54 is an amazing boat, and has found great new owners. This makes me happy too. :) All the Chris White boats are phenomenal. He's a top sailor designing top boats that are practical, safe, comfortable and fast. Because they're performance cruisers, they need to be sailed somewhat conservatively to be safest.

Many thanks appreciate your kind words 🙏 she’s a cool boat and a wonderful design and so far she’s more than proven herself to us. We couldn’t ask for more 🙏🙏

Thank you for sharing so many lessons about dinghy stowage. This is a superb bit of video making. The narration and filming are seamlessly matched. Splicing in of historical footage of the dinghy hanging outboard n 40 knots is excellent in making that point visually. Your efforts in professional filmmaking are greatly appreciated.

Many thanks! Clo put it together and appreciates the kind the words 🙏

Great idea! Well thought out, as usual. It also gets the weight of the dinghy in the center of the boat, not hanging off the back.

Very true and just another positive aspect of it 🙏👍

Excellent-- really like your thinking on this. I hadn't noticed the halyard keeping the dinghy off the nets before-- I was wondering about that in the past

@TrimaranSpiritXL Ай бұрын

Cheers buddy it was just a quick fix that ended up working better than the strap method.

@captainsensible298 Ай бұрын

Like the wrapping the halyards, very smart.

Very nice to know that halyard wrapping trick. Hanging the dingy on the hip would work well on a cat with davits because it keeps the area between the hulls open for swimming and fishing.

@TrimaranSpiritXL Ай бұрын

That’s a good idea for a cat and it’s cool as people can just optimise it to suit their needs 👍

That passage making stowage of the dinghy is neat and, I assume, well clear of headsail sheets etc We had a fibreglass tube let through the wing deck of our Newick Echo and amongst other uses we could drop a line from the main halyard through it to a similar four point harness in the RIB which was then winched up snug against the underside of the wing deck. As with Spirit we could motor around an anchorage, have good dinghy security with a clean bottom as well as keeping UV from the hypalon and rain out. Just motored underneath, clipped on the waiting line before dropping back, boarding and winching clear of the water. Oars, attached engine, anchor and fuel container all kept securely in situ

That’s cool also sounds like a great practical solution thanks for sharing 🙏

Thanks mates. Really good boat handling, rigging, etc. Really good engineering to wrap the lines. Both dampens internal resonances and breaks up wind nodes by adding turbulence. The two lines having differing density also helps the damping, giving a path for the energy to dissipate. (Thermodynamics) The two stowage positions for the dinghy make a lot of sense. No cradle is better, and everything is under tension so chafe is essentially impossible. The diamond knots make me nervous. Do they ever let go if tension somehow lessens? Liked the extra loop around the knot which would help keep it attached. Having all-line rigging (no metal or plastic fittings) is nice of course. Everything has tradeoffs. And of course metal and plastic can fail, wear, corrode, oxidize, etc. 9:56 The red accents on the FP main and Fat Tire headsail match nicely. Nice happenstance. Beautiful drone shot too. :)

Thanks mate appreciate it 🙏 never had any issues with the diamond knots but using line sizes to match the job is important along with understanding the designs weaknesses. They’ve never come undone but we do only use them on specific things and they’re nearly always permanently loaded lines. We have the setup here on the bridle where a crown knot goes between a dyneema lashing. Did a video of it years ago on the old Spirit and it also works a treat. When it comes to the red can you believe how well those sails have matched the boat! Crazy how the design of them and the colour just happens to be spot on! 👍

I've been struggling to come up with a good way to store our dinghy. Especially as we have dagger boards in our floats with control lines across the nets. This is the answer! BTW. Your nets look great. Who made them and do they ship?

@TrimaranSpiritXL Ай бұрын

Cool glad to hear and hope it helps. The nets were onboard when we bought Spirit but they’re just normal webbing nets I think a good sail maker should be able to make them.
