Joost, le patron hollandais de Zeekraai, se plaignait lui aussi du jeu dans le safran… De plus, en allant inspecter les fonds, il a pu constater une infiltration d’eau au niveau des trous de la fixation du femelot inférieur sur le tableau arrière. Ce qu’il nous montre parfaitement en photo. Sa solution, consiste à modifier cette fixation, avec une nouvelle pièce et en rebouchant les anciens trous (en les rendant baucoup plus accessibles au passage!). Bien vu. Démonstration illustrée:
Hello The Zeekraai had some play in the lower pintail. Some water was leaking in the hull. So I made an alternative construction. The wider eyes makes fitting to the Sun easier.
I hope it keeps the hull dry and stops the “jeu a la safran “.
Il serait intéressant de voir la pièce côté externe du tableau arrière. Au passage, j’en profite pour ajouter un commentaire de Peter (Green Plover) à ce sujet, apportant quelques précisions intéressantes, notamment en terme de vocabulaire anglais/français.
I like the strengthening method. I think these photos should be available on the site. One day we all may need them…
The S2k is unusual in having a loose shaft - but normally the female part is called the gudgeon in english/femelot in french. The male part is the pintle (aiguillot in french, ndw). I would defer to the names used by Jeanneau in the manual for our arrangement.
Merci Peter.
Mise à jour du 01/12/2011: L’autre face du tableau.
Sans doute cela est il courant, mais c’est la première fois que je vois çà: un chariot de mise à l’eau auto-tracté, permettant de sortir et mettre à l’eau un sun 2000 sur une plage de sable. Pratique. J’avoue que j’aimerais bien voir une vidéo de la manœuvre.
Cette photo a été envoyé par le 150ième 2ksuniste (enregistré) de notre petite communauté informelle(TM), Sigi, italien de nationalité, et à qui je souhaite la bienvenue. A noter que son bateau s’appelle Why Not, comme l’un des sun 2000 naviguant sur le Bassin d’Arcachon.
Précisions, témoignage:
” In Italy the cost of the port is expensive, a luxury business and I just use my boat only on summer time.
I prefer a cheaper motor trailer for carrier my boat on the beach like a 420.
We call this kind of port “dry port” (porto a secco) and in my club, Torre Pedrera Sailing Club there are other sail mini boats like sun2000 on trailer.
The motor trailer is made by a company specialized , his site is : http://www.gattarella. But now the site is off-line.
The trailer have a 3-wheel traction with oil motor, it’s easy to use, I did it by my self , 20 minutes, only when the wind and the sea is bad I need a help. “
Merci Sigi.
Des nouvelles de Peter, patron de Green Plover, Sun 2000 britannique. Aujourd’hui, il nous offre une réflexion vraiment intéressante sur un système sécure et pratique pour gérer l’ouverture du capot de roof: la mise en oeuvre de guides latéraux en contreplaqu:
STAY SLIDES TO STANDARD HATCH
These slides are simple to make and give easy control of the difficult s/s hatch stays.They do not intrude within the cabin.
The hatch can be lifted with one hand – and easily lowered with two hands.
No alteration is necessary.
It is easy to cut and form the slots in 9mm plywood although a strong 6mm
plastic sheet could be neatly used if you are able to machine this.
It is easier to make the plywood polygon first to match the exact lines on the boat.The plywood should fit closely into the grp section.
The bolt should be M8 to match the rod diameter.
The end positions are determined by the geometry of the stay but the height of hatch opening can be varied a little to choice..
Mais le site redémarre ou bien!? Bon trêve de plaisanterie, alors qu’un article italien est en cours de préparation (au sujet d’un mode de mise à l’eau original), là, c’est John B., 2skuniste britannique, là aussi bien connu de nos colonnes, qui nous envoie sa dernière création.
Regrettant l’encombrement de la table d’origine du Sun 2000 lorsqu’elle est montée dans la cabine, notamment en navigation, John s’est fabriqué une extension de la “table” de la cuisine. Cette extension rabattable offre l’avantage de disposer d’une place précieuse en cas de cuisine, ou pour permettre de manger (1 ou 2 personnes max). Petit montage sympathique et pratique, détaillé par son créateur ici:
Folding table in the cabin
The Jeanneau S2K table fits on a leg in the cabin or in the cockpit. It takes up a lot of space in the cabin, especially when sailing. [ I hoist the spi from the hatch] It does not have fiddles, so it is easy to for things to fall on the floor if there is a wave or wake [ the power boats - ugh]. So I have made a little folding table to go in front of the cooker. It is very useful and makes a place to put things when cooking, or for one person to eat. I also moved the cooker from the centre to the forward end of the shelf; this make a little space for coffee mugs - or beer!
The table is made from 12mm plywood with a mahogany strip 30 x 8mm glued on for the fiddles, It is hinged to the front of the cooker unit [brass hinges] and supported at the other end by a turnbuckle fixed to the mast post by an M5 machine screw. This screws into a tapped hole in the post. Or you could use a self tappeng screw. When the turnbuckle is vertical it passes through a notch in the edge of the table, when horizontal it supports the table.
I finished the wood with 4 coats of Pu varnish; the first coat is thinned with white spirit and a little red oxide primer added to match the colour of the fittings in the cabin.
Cheers. John
Thanks a lot John!
Peter, 2ksuniste anglais, propriétaire de Green Plover, nous parle de dérive, et comme à son habitude, c’est avec expertise et précision. Un régal. D’abord la version originale, puis la traduction dans l’article complet:
Derive / Lifting Fin / Experimentation
The fin is fibreglass with a heavy ferrous weight inside.My fin weighs 37 kgs. 
After epoxy and carbon fibre reinforcement this winter it was coated with an epoxy barrier plus Primocon plus anti-foul,all in my workshop. The loads on the fin-mounted pulley and on the lifting rope are very high when the hull is out of the water.
I have taken out the cockpit pulley and instead added a ‘dynamic’ pulley to the fin by temporary means.By calculation this reduces the loads by 50%. The Dyneema loop does not stretch or suffer over the season.Last year it slipped along the fin a little. This year a small epoxy nib has been formed on the fin to prevent this. This method avoids drilling and is reversible.
The new pulley rises through the floor of the cockpit when high. The Spinlock clutch has been blocked out by 20mm. of Trespa.
The second pulley also makes it very simple to drop the assembly for inspection of the pivot and to locate the two stainless bolts for re-assembly.
Removal of the Harken 131 pulley also makes a good vent to prevent the inspection hatch loosening from air pressure in the waves.(although maybe I will lose some keys !!)
We have ‘tell tales’ of orange line stitched through the lifting rope at four equal positions to tell us the attitude quickly. As a precaution a knot is also tied in the rope when the boat is left unattended.
The second pulley works easily and is a good idea if :
you sail in very shallow water /narrow channels, although with a soft sea bed, where your crew is willing but not an athlete.
you are not a keen racer who wishes to avoid the extra drag.
for temporary use in the boatyard to remove the fin for inspection - gives essential control and makes it easy to replace the bolts.
The calculation shows the high pull-out load on the original pulley (110 kgs) when the hull is dry and suggests that it is a bad idea to force the fin up by hoisting if it will not retract fully.
La traduction par l’auteur et son épouse, laissée telle quelle parce que délicieuse.
