From Secretary, Colin Whimster:
.......I said I would give you accurate speed figures: they have turned out not to be as high as the first ones!
So…. with Perkins Sabre M92B 86hp with PRM 500D (2.90:1) gearbox, Centaflex coupling and a new prop. 28" x 21" on runs in opposite directions in a nearly flat sea we got:-
900 (tick over) 4.2 knots (from GPS)
1000 rpm 5.1
1200 6.0
1300 6.3
1400 6.6
1500 7.0
1600 7.3
1800 7.8
2000 8.2
According to the engine data the fuel consumption will be 3.5 l/hr at 1200 rpm, 5 at 1500, 7.5 at 1800 and 10 litres at 2000.
We think the wheelhose is now much quieter but that is subjective.
Generally I am pleased with this - and I now have the old 27" x 19" prop wrapped up under a saloon bunk - just in case a nasty Hebridean rock jumps out!
(Note: Old engine was a 72 HP Perkins 4236, now substituted by the more powerful 86 HP Perkins-Sabre M92B)

From Treasurer, Ton Koot:
K. L. (Catelijne) has replaced the airfilter of the 6 cylinder Perkins for a big one from a lorry. He says it reduces the noise considerably. May be I do it next winter too.
This week Chapeau made her first trip from Elburg to Andijk.

DUCK SOUP mounts a new S.S. bowsprit
Guillermo,
I took these photos of the new Duck Soup bowsprit yesterday lunchtime. It was so bright & hot I was unable to see the subject in the view
finder. This explains any lack of quality in my photography.
The previous wooden bowsprit was handed to the tradesman who then created this replica in 8mm 316 stainless steel.
The nose cap, bow rollers & their brackets were reincorporated in the new bowsprit.
The precision of this rebuild was so good that it required no alteration to be refitted by my crew Steven.
Apart from the thought of the yet unknown cost of this work of art, I am very happy with the end result.
From purchase in 1984, I needed to rebuild the wooden bowsprit on four occasions. This new stainless steel version should see me out without any further maintenance as long I can keep stray electricity out of the system & ensure electrolysis does not damage it.
Seasons greetings.

SARBRI is being refitted in Malta.
A brief history:
The boat has had 2 previous owners. The previous owner was a doctor and sold the boat to my father with osmosis. The previous owner, Dr Mantel, was from Northern Ireland. The boat itself is still in its original berth from when she was bought and is the longest serving boat in this marina. The boat was purchased in 1984. All the equipment is still intact and works. Last year the mizzen mast cracked in half and had to be removed. The boat has a gangplank which is about 2m long and was supported by the mizzen mast. The rigging was planned to be replaced this year, however due to excess weight on the gangplank, the already weak stay anchorage uprooted out of the wheelhouse roof.
My father pass on 4 years ago and my mother was unsure whether to sell the boat or keep her. She decided to keep her in the family. Since I basically grew up on the boat I took an interest. When I was fourteen, I was taken out on her with my father’s friend and he began teaching me a few things. I basically took over doing the basic things on board, like checking batteries and running the engine, however I was still young and did not really understand what was going on most of the time. I started skippering her myself at the age of 15 and have been since then. This year I have done 281miles in the first 2 weeks of summer. All coastal sailing and ‘fun’ sails. However this year I am taking a gap and I plan on slowly getting her back into a better shape. My Father used to keep a ‘Bible’ so to speak on everything that occurred on the boat (oil filter changes, replacements, etc.), however this has somehow gone missing and I have to start from scratch.
Work intended (brief overview)
I will be taking pictures of the boat in her current state and create an album to show how the work progresses; when finished I will send everything to you. However this is basically what is being done at the moment:
Mizzen Mast has been rejoined and reinforced.
Inside of wheelhouse roof has been striped and new anchorage points have been place and reinforced by spreading the area over a stainless steel plate.
The bow sprite has recently been replaced and anchor winch serviced.
New rigging for both masts is intended.
Recently had new sea cocks installed. (We had an incident recently where one had corroded so badly that when touched is broke off in my hand and we had to seal it up with an emergency bung).
The original head needs to have maintenance done to it (new washers, pipes, paint and a really good clean!)
The bilges will be cleaned and repainted.
The fuel tanks are too be cleaned.
The boat will be antifouled and repainted
Repairing the Genoa drum.
We recently replace the forward middle window in the wheel house.
Work to the engine. ( few pipes need to be replaced together with normal maintenance)
I also plan on stripping the boat naked and removing most panels and floor boards so to be able to varnish everything. Another plan of mine is to also retrace all the wires back to the power source, label the boat throughout and where possible remove old, out of date equipment (for example we have a beacon finder still attached to the ceiling in the wheelhouse). Basically I’m doing what I’m sure most boat owners do when they buy a boat, study the boat inside out.

ALBATROS' shaft problems solved.
...........
This week we had to take Albatros out of the water for propeller shaft inspection.The shaft made a terrible high frequency noise when motoring at low revs. We soon found out that the aft end bearing had gone and the shaft showed significant damage (pitting).
Here you see some pictures how we changed the shaft.
At the inside we had tremendous problems to get the connecting flange (connecting the shaft to the gearbox) off the shaft. The internal nut dit not move at all. We had to cut the shaft in the engine room to be able to get it out.
Once the shaft came out, the seriousness of the damage became evident and we decided to have a new shaft made in a metal workshop. The aft end bearing has been removed to and replaced by a new one. The forward end bearing is very difficult to approach and view it's good condition we decided to keep it in place.
Something for the web site ?
Damaged shaft Flange, internal nut and special tool
New bearing being placed Gently pushing in the new shaft
Fastening the nut with the special tool Ready!

BARBAROSSAexperienced some problems with the reduction gear dipstick.
Hello,
Long time, but still sailing the N orwegian Coast with Barbarossa.
This morning I had the most unfortunate experience. The lowe part of the dipstick in my Paragon 35L fell of and into the box.
Have you heard of this problem, and if there is any way of removing it without taking the whole box out and taking it apart.?
And of course alle this happens in the vacation where help is very hard to get.
Best regards
Bård
Commodore replied:
Dear Bård,
Nice to hear from you again, although not so nice because of the dipstick problem.
I had never heard of it falling into the box. Most annoying!
I suggest you to post your message at the Maintenace Forum, for other members to find out. Maybe any of them has had this problem before.
I also suggest you to contact Paragon manufacturer:
Bård again:
Thanks for your advice. I've received advice from a very competent friend (working for Catepillar Marine) who says nothing is likly to happen if I continue my trip and remove the stick later. I also placed a powerful magnet on the lower side of the box. (He has serviced my Paragon 35L some years ago so hopefully he knows it well enough......) How this works out; I'll let you know later. Best regards Bård PS! According to my fiend this is not a very rear incident. So good advice to all Banjer owners must be to make sure that the dipstick is properly tightend as a part of serviceing - certainly I will.
And, at last:
Back from Holiday, and no problems with gear-box. But I will remove it later and take out the stick......And good luck with the upcomming Garthering. I had plans to be there, but unfortuantely a big event for my company was placed at the same time, and not possible to move. (We have 5 pc of Sony Ericsson boats at the hottest location in Oslo and arranging comeptitions for most important costumers and contacts followed by kick-off for staff.)

From PANDORA, in Cyprus:
A long BALLJOINTS story:
1) In october 2OO6,we noticed that one of the 4 balljoints in the steering system was loose. As we were sailing in the red sea from israel to jordan then to egypt, we opted for an emergency repair allowing us to go on sailing. It consisted in placing a washer inside the balljoint.
2)200 nautical miles further, 2 other balljoints were loose as well. Meanwhile we had contacted Promac.NL to order balljoints. It was done thanks to the help of the club and more specially Ton Koot .
3) In January 2007 we flew back to France and got the balljoint which had been sent there: it was not the right one ! ! though we had given the reference number engraved on the plate:SEFFLE TYPE HL 440 . We contacted Promac but they couldn’t do or say anything. We do reproach them not to have checked the dimensions we had also given; they also sent us the wrong o rings for the 2 pistons.
As it had been suggested by a club member we started a long search for car balljoints which would be the same: no success
4) We bought RENAULT balljoints: same size, same thread BUT the conic part fitting inside the plate is too big...
5) In June 2007 we arrived safe in Larnaka (CYPRUS). Our renault balljoints were in a drawer on board ...And there we found a mechanic who could easily retapered the conic part .Now it ‘s done.
In case you woud be interested the balljoints we bought are produced by MOOG with the reference RE-ES 4256 . You can find them very easily. Here in Cyprus our mechanic even found the right balljoints but there were only 2 left. If you have time you could try to find them. They were from U.K and the mechanic thinks they could be for a ”mini minor” car
About our so nice mechanic:
He is the crane man owning the travelift which has just lifted pandora out of water in Larnaka And he is also the owner of the BANJER number74 .He is discovering the story of the banjers with us .The boat is now named CAPTAIN MANOLIS after the name of the captain. He bought this banjer from British people here in Larnaka, she was then named RED SHANK.
About our water tanks:
We have just open them to clean them and we discovered something like osmosis inside. Not yet important but it never gets better with the years. We cleaned, sanded a little bit and we will put some epoxy paint in September.
We ‘ll fly back to france on the June 17th ,go to the banjer meeting in August and fly back to cyprus in September.Meanwhile Pandora will stay on the hard standing area of Larnaka marina next to Captain Manolis which has just been painted... see you soon

From proud BRIGHTEYES owners
Banjer "Brighteyes" has also been updated and her very long refit has been finished at last - it only took 23 months against the forecast of 6 months! We did all the work ourselves so there's no one to blame - although we did have the hull shot blasted by a contractor (it took all of 4 hours).
But she is now repainted, rewired, retanked (water and diesel) and totally refitted inside and out. There are new rubbing strakes, bulwark caps, bowsprit, hatches, alternators and charging systems, headlinings, soft trim, all floors and bearers. There are also a lot of bruises and spilt blood and tired owners!
There are also 2 new masts and booms, courtesy of the Travelhoist operators who managed to hit us, just before launch' and break a forward lower shroud which caused the mainmast to fold. The original gold anodised mast could not be matched so the insurers agreed to renewing both although it did add about 7 weeks to our lunch date.
The eventual launch went well - yes you can get 22 people on board for a party - and the 'maiden' voyage was to Fowey, Cornwall (about 30km) where she will spend the winter before returning to the Med in 2004.
Was it worth it? Yes! Would we do it again? No, no, no!!
Best wishes to all Banjer owners and lovers
Brighteyes

From ZOE
.....Work on Zoe has included rebuilding the deadwood at the stuffing box (the bolts attaching the stuffing box to the deadwood were corroded), new cutlass bearing, several new seacocks, a new PYI (dripless) stuffing box, and new bottom paint. Prior to our ownership the hull, (from the waterline down) was coated with epoxy.
with
She is now at our slip here in Wilmington and I am addressing such things as new valves, gauges and an alarm for the propane stove, rebuilding the head, completing the installation of teak decking, going over the rigging and raising the masts, Etc. Some major electrical work, new sails, and so on.
16.12.2002
From MARIBE, USA
MARIBE is a marconi rigged ketch with a short bowsprit, added to carry a roller furling headsail and anchor - after dismasting the original rig due to corrosion of the masthead fitting. Sail plan is same as original.... Much cosmetic work on decks, pilot house, cockpit and below is needed and is underway. Perkins 4-236 has been rebuilt and runs fine. PH windows need new gaskets, and portlights need replacing. Also installed is an Entec 3.5 KW generator, Farymann powered.

From DUCK SOUP
GUILLERMO,
THIS MORNING I TOOK DUCK SOUP TO OUR WORK BERTH TO HAVE SOME PAINT WORK TOUCHED UP.
WHILST THERE I TOOK THE TWO ATTACHED PHOTOS WHICH SHOW HOW I AIR-CONDITION DUCK SOUP DURING THE HOT SUMMER MONTHS NOVEMBER THRU MARCH.
THE AIRCONDITIONER IS A MARINE VERSION AIRCOMMAND MANUFACTURED IN ADELAIDE, SOUTH AUSTRALIA.
ORIGINALLY THEY WERE DESIGNED FOR RETROFIT ON CAMPERVANS,CARAVANS,TRUCKS & BUSSES ETC..
THEY ARE WIDELY USED IN AUSTRALIA ON FISHING BOATS ESPECIALLY THE HIGHSPEED CRAYFISHING FLEET IN WESTERN AUSTRALIA.
I AM SURE SIMILAR UNITS ARE MANUFACTURED IN EUROPE & THE USA.
THE CENTRAL HATCH ON DUCK SOUP IS A GOIOT DOUBLE ACTION VERSION & THE HATCH COVER IS VERY SIMPLE TO REMOVE. WITH SOME FEW MODIFICATIONS IT NOW TAKES ONLY ABOUT 30 MINUTES TO MOUNT OR DEMOUNT.
MY AIRCON IS A 240 VOLT VERSION, 5000 BTU.,COOLING ONLY, HOWEVER FOR SLIGHTLY MORE MONEY A MODEL WITH REVERSE CYCLE HEATING CAN BE OBTAINED.
SHOULD ANY ONE BE INTERESTED IN THE AIRCOMMAND, THE EASIEST WAY TO GET INFORMATION IS TO GO INTO GOOGLE SEARCH, TYPE IN AIRCOMMAND AIRCONDITIONERS & UP COMES THE SITE ADDRESS.
THE UNIT HAS NO PROBLEM RUNNING ON A GENERATOR WHEN CRUISING HOWEVER SINCE REMOVING MY GENSET I NO LONGER HAVE THIS LUXURY - ONLY WHEN ALONGSIDE IN A MARINA.
FROM THESE PHOTOS YOU WILL ALSO NOTE HOW I USE SPRAY DODGERS ON THE RAIL FOR PRIVACY WHILE LIVING ON THE MARINA.
ALSO HOW THE FORWARD CANOPY NEATLY ROLLS UP AGAINST THE MAST ALLOWING ONE TO TRAVEL WITH THE MAIN & COCKPIT CANOPIES IN PLACE.
Regards,
BRIAN HULL.

From GROS BALOO
Dear Guillermo,
.....
Sur Gros Baloo j'ai découvert un peut de rouille (oxydation) qui s'écoulait sous le plancher de la cabine avant. Après avoir démonter l'habillage teack de l'épontille du mât, j'ai constaté que celle ci était rongée par l'oxydation et prête à céder. Il faudrait prévenir tous les propriétaires de Banjer que celà peut arriver suite à une petite entrée d'eau au niveau de la base de la jumelle. Et surtout se méfier car la rouille apparait quand c'est presque trop tard. Bien vérifier l'épontille qui est une pièce rectangulaire 100mm*50mm, épaisseur 5mm, hauteur 2000mm avec plaques haute et basse d'épaisseur 10mm soudées sur l'épontille. Tout ceci étant fabriqué en simple acier.
Amicalement
Approximate translation (Anyone can help with a better one?):
On Gros Baloo I discovered one can of rust (oxidation) which ran out under the ceiling of the front cabin. After having to dismount the piece of teak that hide the nuts under the mast base, I noted that it was corroded by oxidation and lends to yield. It would be necessary to warn all the owners of Banjer that this may happen following a small water entry at the level of the base of the mast. And especially to be wary because rust appears when it is almost too late. To check well the nuts plate base which is a rectangular part 100mm*50mm, thickness 5mm, height 2000mm with plates high and low thickness 10mm welded onto the nuts base. All this being manufactured in simple steel.

From BRIGHTEYES, UK
"Brighteyes" is still in the middle of a major and long overdue refit. We started last October and the original relaunch target was June 2002. It is taking much longer than expected because we're doing much more than we expected but we may see the water by the end of the season if we are lucky.
She has had a new interior -almost total -with new furniture, side and head linings, new galley and a rewire. We have taken out the underfloor water tanks and added extra ballast to cope with a bigger sail area. The new tanks will fit under the side berths in the saloon.
We have also replaced the two diesel tanks and a new day tank. All wiring-12v and 230v -has been renewed and a new instrument panel fitted. We have also renewed the toe rail cappings and added cheeks to the inner and outer faces to give more strength - we didn't like the way the genoa track pulled out on us in the middle of the Med!
The exterior has yet to get any real attention but we should start preparing for repaint soon - she is going to be painted cream and dark green....
Good winds and happy sailing to all Banjers!
