[cónsul scipio]

Pues yo solo puedo comentar acerca de mi experiencia, que se limita al tipo mas común (creo) que es una trinqueta engarruchada al babystay y con escotas redirigidas a la bañera. Muy cómodo de usar y se puede cazar sin necesidad de recurrir al winche. Montando un enrollador, ya debe de ser la pera.

Con respecto al comentario de la tercera foto, la del cutter con génova (pequeña ¿no?), he recuperado el esquema original del fabricante de mi barco y veo que tambien trae montado un génova, incluso mas grande que el de la foto. Sin embargo, por lo que habeis contado hasta ahora, por lo que he leido en revistas y por mi experiencia personal, este barco debe ser mucho mas cómodo de manejar, y no necesariamente mas lento sobre todo con vientos moderados-fuertes, con un yankee o (en eso confío) con un foque pequeño.

Otra cosa. Consul Scipio, en las especificaciones del fabricante del Victoria 34 (Victoria Marine, Warshaw) con diseño de Chuck Payne el barco es un sloop, no un cutter. Así es tambien el de la foto que adjunto. Es el tuyo una modificación posterior?

Hola erik el sueco,

del victoria 34 se hicieron 2 versiones (cútter y Sloop) más un pilothouse llamado frances 34. pero permíteme que te conteste con las palabras del "historiador de la asociación"

"in 1986 Chuck Paine designed the Victoria 34 exclusively for Victoria Marine. Looking very similar to his equally seaworthy Bowman 40, she had a fin and skeg underwater profile, rather than the full keel of her predecessors. She could be rigged as either a masthead sloop or a cutter with a short bowsprit and had berths below for five or six. There was a V-berth forecabin, forward heads, convertible U-shaped dinette, a quarter berth/chart table to starboard and a good-sized galley to port. The Ministry of Defence was so taken by the Victoria 34 that they eventually put 15 of them into their sail training fleet (the Joint Services Adventurous Sail Training Association) and a further six were built for individual regiments (at the Kiel Yacht Club ) and sail training organisations. In these hands they were truly tested and came through with flying colours. They have calculated that these boats have survived 10 times more wear and tear than the average privately owned boat.

One owner of a Victoria 34 proposed the idea of having an inside steering position and commissioned Victoria Yachts to build him a one-off. The pilothouse Victoria was born and named the Frances 34. During her development, the extra weight of the pilothouse forced a redesign of the keel, which resulted in a move from the use of encapsulated lead ballast to an external, bulbed keel. This reduced the boat’s draught by 7in and increased her stability by 25 per cent. So pleased was Victoria Yachts’ Technical Director, Bob Hathaway, with the new design that he built the second Frances 34 for himself (to replace the 26 he had been cruising for nine years, including a trip to the Med and back) and incorporated further improvements to the keel, rig and engine, which then became the standard for future boats. They were generally built as inboard cutters with self-tacking staysails, while below decks they changed to a linear galley in place of the starboard saloon berth and the pilothouse with settee berth, quarter berth, internal steering position and chart table where the galley and quarter berth had previously been."
