New owners of Cinabbar
Posted: Mon June 4th, 2012, 12:11 pm
Hi there folks,
We are the proud new owners (or rather, will be shortly) of "Cinabbar", a Barbican 33 Mk 2 shown in pictures on this website.
I would be interested to know a few things about her and her kind.
First off - Anyone know how many Barbican 33s where produced? (Mk 1 & 2) over the years?
Regarding Cinabbar herself, I know she has reached the Golfe du Morbihan, but anyone know how far she has been in that (or other interesting) direction?
Finally, we know she wont fly in a light breeze, nor sail that close to the wind, but it would be interesting to know the sorts of speed through the water we could expect in a reasonable wind (force 4 -5) and maybe an idea of how close she might reasonably sail in such winds - By the way, our previous boat was a Moody 29 bilge keel, fat and heavy but good in a blow, like we hope Cinabbar will be.
