The Core Sound 20 Mark 3 is an American sailboat that was designed by B&B Yacht Designs for cruising and first built in 2014. The boat is supplied as a series of kits and plans for amateur construction. [1] [2] The Core Sound 20 Mark 3 is a development of the Core Sound 20 and is named for the North Carolinian body of water. [2]
A centreboard (often called a lifting foil in a modern racing dinghy) is used to provide lift to counter the lateral force from the sails.This is required for sailboats to move in directions other than downwind, since the force of the sail is never closer than 45 degrees to the apparent wind.
Darrell Nicholson, writing for Practical Sailor concluded, "the 27 has its limitations: a cramped interior, 'age spots' such as scruffy gelcoat, possible deck delamination, centerboard wear, gas engines getting on in years, and, in an age of sailing performance, so-so speed. Virtues and flaws balanced, however, the Tartan 27 strikes us as ...
When a small sailboat flips on its side, the keel can also be used to right the boat. Standing on the keel gives the sailor additional leverage to roll the hull upright. The centerboard, daggerboard, or bilgeboard can be used as a platform upon which to stand, providing increased leverage, in the event the dinghy overturns via a capsize or turtle.
A sail plan is a drawing of a sailing craft, viewed from the side, depicting its sails, the spars that carry them and some of the rigging that supports the rig. [1] By extension, "sail plan" describes the arrangement of sails on a craft. [2] [3] A sailing craft may be waterborne (a ship or boat), an iceboat, or a sail-powered land vehicle.
In a 2017 used boat review, some 59 years after it was designed, a The Spin Sheet reviewer stated, "I don’t recall a time when my sense of style, balance and proper proportion of sailing yachts has not been influenced by the design work of the late Bill Tripp. The Bermuda 40 is a quintessential example of Tripp’s art and masterful eye for ...
The boat is supported by an active class club, the Jeanneau Owners Network. [11] In a 2019 review for Sail Magazine, Charles J. Doane found that some of the smaller sail plans, including then one he tested on the water, were under-powered. He concluded, "For anyone looking for a modern compact cruising sailboat this is a hard vessel to ignore.
The boat has a draft of 3.00 ft (0.91 m) with the centerboard extended and 0.75 ft (0.23 m) with it retracted, allowing operation in shallow water, beaching or ground transportation on a trailer. [1] [3] The boat is normally fitted with a small 3 to 6 hp (2 to 4 kW) outboard motor for docking and maneuvering. [1] [3]
