What is hobbyhorsing? | SailNet Community ZAr, Hobbyhorsing is the tendency of a boat to pitch back and forth like a rocking or "hobby" horse That is to say, to roll forward toward the bow along the longitudinal axis, then back toward the stern, repeating, with the horizontal axis as the pivot point If "hobbyhorse" doesn't quite conjure the right image, think "seesaw"
Hobby Horsing Around - SailNet Community The hobby-horse characteristics hardly change at all from full to empty and that represents 600kgs or 1320 lbs or 40 Rocna 33lb anchors The only way I notice any change is that the water line rises in the bow OK my boat weighs in at 25000 lbs but still I support Cam in the belief that imagination is a wonderful thing
C C 24 pros and cons - SailNet Community C C 24 pros and cons If you can handle a 24 you can handle a 30'' boat Having owned both and sailed in Buzzards Bay I suggest you get as big a boat as you can afford I really like C C''s but the 24 has an outboard and when they hobby horse the prop comes out of the water Buzzards Bay has lot''s of wind and waves Good luck
Ok, how about a McVay Bluenose Sloop? Jeff_H, anyone? In a chop, the short waterline length meant that they would hobby-horse to a near stop and even in a longer chop, with their low freeboard they would tend to take a lot of water over the deck and would ship a lot of green water in the cockpits Boats like these thrived on heavy crews hiking out ''tooth and toenail''
Pros and cons for a double ender Canoe Stern - SailNet Community Of course, some boats with transoms and long overhangs or that are fine in the stern underwater, will hobby horse as well, so it's not quite as cut and dry as double enders versus transom boats in the hobby horsing department There are a lot of things to consider if one is seeking a good cruising boat that is also a good liveaboard
1976 41 TA CHIAO CT - SailNet Community Our problem with Jeff''s conclusion is that the boat is not rolly, does not hobby horse, gives a stable ride, and performs quite well given modest winds Why the discrepancy between Jeff''s expectations and reality, one may ask? First, the only number Jeff cites is the 32% ballast to displacement ratio
Building Cruising Catamaran: What is the ideal beam. . . Building Cruising Catamaran Beam width Hello, I appreciate your concern about hobby horsing using deep v hulls , and agree that my Woods Windsong tends to do this I imagine a wider v may be better eg 50 or 60 degrees, and wider keel as well This would mean more complex shaping with an angle or fold around half way up the hull's height , in other words a u shape rather than v Keeping as
swim platform. . | SailNet Community Also, a swim platform adds a fair bit a weight aft and that can cause a boat to squat or hobby horse The construction of the swim platform and how you're going to secure it to the hull is also something to consider
Dreadnought 32 - SailNet Community Despite her upwind "particularities" I think this boat will work quite nicely for cruising and short trips, has GREAT speed on her beam and quarter, will heave-to well in a blow, and doesn't seem to have any bad action - she mostly tends to hobby horse, virtually no rolling Any other advice for a new single-lady Dreadnaught owner?
bristol 35. 5c vs 35 - SailNet Community My 31 1 will tend to roll in a beam sea, and hobby horse in a following sea, when without sail up Having the sails up stabilises her well Finally, they have a larger foretriangle smaller main (even more so on my 31 1) so it is essential not to overpower them with foresails that are too large for the conditions
