What is hobbyhorsing? | SailNet Community ZAr, Hobbyhorsing is the tendency of a boat to pitch back and forth like a rocking or "hobby" horse That is to say, to roll forward toward the bow along the longitudinal axis, then back toward the stern, repeating, with the horizontal axis as the pivot point If "hobbyhorse" doesn't quite conjure the right image, think "seesaw"
Hobby Horsing Around - SailNet Community The hobby-horse characteristics hardly change at all from full to empty and that represents 600kgs or 1320 lbs or 40 Rocna 33lb anchors The only way I notice any change is that the water line rises in the bow OK my boat weighs in at 25000 lbs but still I support Cam in the belief that imagination is a wonderful thing
Owner experiences with Westsail 32 sailing performance up wind Do they really "hobby horse" all the time when doing so? Can they make good progress upwind without the motor running? Would you consider a Westsail 32 to be a "motor-sailor"? I don't want to stir up controversy or insult any owners with these questions No disrespect is intended It would just be great to hear more real world accounts
Storm Photos - SailNet Community I had turned in with only had 1 anchor out becasue I thought the worst had passed earlier in the evening but I was awakened at about 1 am, bucking like a hobby horse, with the wind whistling through the rigging It was gusting from the North North East, for which that anchorage is relatively unprotected
Looking for Pearson 23 info - SailNet Community Under motor whilst in the kind of heavy chop we get around here in the bay, she'll hobby horse a bit, but once you raise the sails, she tightens up almost immediately, and pushes forward The shrouds are kinda outboard, so you can't sheet in real tight, but the boat points reasonably well Upwind is straight forward and this boat doesn't get scary
1976 41 TA CHIAO CT - SailNet Community Our problem with Jeff''s conclusion is that the boat is not rolly, does not hobby horse, gives a stable ride, and performs quite well given modest winds Why the discrepancy between Jeff''s expectations and reality, one may ask? First, the only number Jeff cites is the 32% ballast to displacement ratio
Baby seat in cockpit - SailNet Community Keeping the seat as close to the center of the boat (fore and aft) also would seem to help reduce the hobby-horse feeling But again, that's just conjecture on my part
Avantages et inconvénients pour un double ender proue de. . . Ma plus grande plainte concernant certains double enders est leur propension à faire du hobby horse J'ai remarqué cela pour la première fois lorsqu'un ami a acheté un Atkins Ingrid des années 1930, un bateau que j'avais toujours admiré pour ses belles lignes
Aft Cockpit vs Center Cockpit - SailNet Community I agree with all those comments from Camaraderie, but I would add that, though the "hobby-horse" action fore aft rock would be greater with the aft cockpit, the port-starboard roll of the centercockpit can be troublesome if the cockpit is too high by design
bristol 35. 5c vs 35 - SailNet Community My 31 1 will tend to roll in a beam sea, and hobby horse in a following sea, when without sail up Having the sails up stabilises her well Finally, they have a larger foretriangle smaller main (even more so on my 31 1) so it is essential not to overpower them with foresails that are too large for the conditions
