A30/Folkboat<BR><BR></DIV></FONT>
<DIV><FONT size=2>Until last year my boat #384 was on the hard beside one of
the Whitby built folkboats (Continental Folkboat is one term I have
heard). As Paul said it has an external iron keel and that was evident
by the rusting on the surface although is didn't seem to be a large
problem. What I found interesting is as follows. One morning in
early spring I arrived at the yard and noticed that the ballast on my A30
(staying very cold on a relatively warm day) had caused frost to outline its
profile on the fiberglass. I immediately looked over at the Folkboat and
voila the profile is virtually identical to the external iron (very high at
the forefoot and tapering toward the aft end of the keel but stopping well
short of the rudder shoe). I didn't measure or mark it with
anything so I can't say for sure what the exact measurements are.
</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2>I have a copy of Choice Yacht Designs by Richard Henderson
(1979). He reviews the A30 (and Triton). He has a diagram of the
A30 hull lines complete with the ballast outline. It would appear to
extend from just aft of the watertank and decline at about a 10 deg. angle
ending about 1.5 to 2.0 feet in front of the rudder shoe where is drops
straight down about 8 to 10 inches to the base of the fiberglass
hull. There is also a bottom up profile (Iines). Because Henderson
couldn't get original plans of the Triton from Pearson at the time he wrote
the book, he had Carl Alberg draw him a new diagram of the Triton Mark
II. That plan has a slightly different rudder which might have been to
apease Pearson. The A30 plan also shows a squared off rudder.
Perhaps this also reflects Alberg's revised thinking on rudder
profile???</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2>I will see if I can get an enlarged copy of the page.
If I can enlarge it properly I can fax a copy to anyone who wants one.
