A fore and aft, pivoting centreboard can also be used to move the centre of lateral resistance aft to match a change in sail plan, such as furling or dropping the jib. A retracting centreboard is more complex than a fixed keel, and most take up space inside the hull of the boat that could otherwise be used for passenger accommodation. Other ...
In a 1994 review Richard Sherwood described the boat as a "child's boat, racer and sailer. The Lido 14 evolved from the earlier Lehman 14 via a rather complete redesign including sheer, seats, foredeck, and sail plan. The cockpit length allows for six adults on full-length seats. The seats, with a bow compartment, provide flotation.
The sail plan includes a mainsail, a jib, and a large asymmetrical spinnaker. It has twin rudders. A new A scow (with sails and a trailer) cost $200,000 in 2020. Once the fastest monohull sailboat in the world, has been clocked in at 33 knots (61 km/h; 38 mph). It is possible to waterski behind these sailboats, as demonstrated by Buddy Melges.
Jerry Montgomery wrote that, "When I had Lyle Hess design the 17 I gave him about 6 months worth of sketches, indicating what I wanted the boat to be like. In my sketches I drew it both as a fixed keel, similar to the Cal 20, which was a very popular boat in Southern California at that time, and as a keel centerboarder.
The boat two centerboard configurations. One has a fixed keel and centerboard and it has a draft of 5.00 ft (1.52 m) with the centerboard extended and 2.50 ft (0.76 m) with it retracted. The other has a centerboard that retracts into a trunk and it has a draft of 5.42 ft (1.65 m) with the centreboard extended and 1.00 ft (0.30 m) with it ...
The Sun Kiss 45 is a recreational keelboat, built predominantly of hand-laid fiberglass, with a balsa-cored deck and a masthead sloop rig. The hull has a raked stem, a reverse transom, an internally mounted spade-type rudder controlled by a wheel and a fixed fin keel or optional stub keel and retractable centerboard.
With the centerboard up, the hull draft is 16 cm; the mast is deck-stepped and 5.22 m high, the mainsail area is 3.9 m 2, the jib 1.26 m 2 and the spinnaker 4.25 m 2. [1] The side decks are designed so that a capsize normally does not fill the hull with water.
