Its a roberts 43 extended to 48, and with added bilge keel in 10mm plate, to sit in sand in northern territory and indonesia. It was 9knot hull, reduced to 6/7 with aded keels.
12 meter masts. It seems underpowered sailwise. Could be rectified?
they use boat for family trips, not commercial.
It seems like a big heavy boat. They said around indo there is not much wind, not much in equator, some at midday, so they tend to motor a bit.
Why would I be interested? Well, the deck would be an ideal studio, out doors, it has insulated panels on biminy, so thats a plus. Its built for tropics, so has air con etc. the pilot house is open.
Its possible that by increasing mast and sail, it would be adequate?
does anyone know the appropriate ratio of sail area to hull for a junk, or a heavy steel jink?
