About the Transoceanic rig, Ton Koot writes:
"11 years ago as I was buying my Banjer I collected a lot of old, orginal and copies, pamphlets about Banjers. The information was not always the same. Pamphlets were from Eista warf, Intermarine and Stangate Marine. Sailarea : 28 , 40, 50, 65, 75 and 80 m2. Fuel capacity: 700, 900, 1600 l . Displacement: 12,2 , 14,3 tons. Ballast 4 and 5 tons
I think the Transoceanic was developed in the Stangate Marine period. The figures in Italics are Transoceanic. That means hull numbers 70 or more...... I think owners who increased their sailplan renamed their Banjers also transoceanic. I have a drawing dated 06031974, from Eista werf, for a sail area of 80m2. The dimensions measured from the drawing are: Bowsprit 2m; Mainmast: from waterlevel 13,7m; from cabin 11,9m; boom 4,4m; Mizzen: from waterlevel 9,7m; from top wheelhouse 7,2m; boom 3,1m . Note: There are also transoceanics with original sail plans of 65m2 and 75m2....."
