Hello,
I've removed the sole on albatross. The tabbing was lacking on The head bulkhead, had started pulling apart a bit. No tabbing on the galley bulkheads or on stbd side, and flexed Tabbing on the stbd water tank broke while sailing upwind in 25kn for a week straight en route from...
Hi Corrado,
I just sailed my 1980 382 to the Caribbean a couple weeks ago from Beaufort NC. 10 days upwind...not the best time of year for the trip I know
Hi Corrado,
I've owned a 1980 382 for 4 years and been living aboard for a year. Hull 22 I believe. They are great boats, especially for...
Hey,
My 1980 382 has it as well. It was put there to compensate for lack of chain for boats that didnt have an all chain rode from what i've read in the forum. for people that were more coastal sailing and didnt need alot of chain. i've taken alot of mine out since i got 220' of anchor...
I loosened the shrouds a bit and ran a line to the mast to a turning block then the main winch. It didn't take so that much tension. I had to pull it starboard, port and forward one side at a time to make room all around. then filled with the provided clay, got it smooth then put on Vaseline...
I just installed spartite on my 382. I used the clay that came with the kit to fill any voids around the collar and partners that would prevent the spartite and mast from being unstepped in the future. Then put Vaseline on everything except the mast so hopefully the spartite will only adhere...
Hi John,
If been talking to Richard at nfm for the passed couple weeks about getting new portlights. He said there was another owner interested as well. That price got me thinking I may be better off the fixed portlights to the 384 size of aprox 6x26. Still mulling it over but I'll know in...
I recently made a new rudder for my 1980 382, Albatross. Thanks for all the helpful info on the site to get a modified design. I hired a naval engineer that primarily designs metal high latitude sailing vessels to approve and improve the design and provide proper foil profile cut outs etc. On...
I'm in the process of finishing an inner forestay on my 1980 382. Thanks for adding to the wealth of information on this. Mine is mainly for heavy weather, long term upwind situations and the ability to work with less expensive Hank on sails without taking down the 130 genoa currently equipped...
I know this is an old thread butI have the same exact cracks on the mast on my 382, on both sides of the upper shrouds compression tubes. What did you end up doing to fix this? Also how did you get the thru bolt out?
Hopefully I can revive this old thread. and this is a bit of a wormhole, so come on down. I'm discovering more separated/non existent tabbing on celerity 1980 382 #207. The search started with noticing a very weak spot on around the galley sink thru hull. I can push the outside of the hull...
Thanks for all the info! I just ordered my chainplate hardware from McMaster-Carr. great website! I was about to compare pricing at fastenal but could only find the bolts in a 100 degree countersink, the originals on my boat 382 #207 were 82 degree. total for bolts, nuts and washers was $80...
Sherry at Transatlantic diesel said that the "2R" indicates a 2 :1 ratio for the HBW10. She did admit that some older ones have a different ratio. Also said the max optimum temp for the hbw10 is 160c and they sell the oil cooler kits for $178.
I hope shes right I just placed an order for a...
I tried transatlantic today but she had already left, I'll call back tomorrow. My hbw10 seems to work fine and I have maintenance records back to 02 from an amazingly meticulous previous owner. Hour meter shows only 1300 hours...taking that with a grain of seasalt however..Definitely...
Thanks Dave! I think the ratio may have changed over the years. This is a copy of the old hurth manual, saying forward is 1.79:1. The variprop rep also said the hbw10 was 1.79:1. and reverse 1.86:1. Still not sure enough to bet $2k on it...
Hey I know this an old thread but I'm trying to find to the ratio of my hbw10 we're by the 4108. I'm trying to fit a feather prop from either darglow or variorum thru ab marine. I don't see a tag on my gearbox, more of a stamped plate. It reads
Hbw 10 2R
947.40
Nr 04-17803
I've been looking...
That looks pretty rough. Does anyone have an update on what failed onboard that caused them to lose sailing and steering ability? I could hear the coast guard saying in the video, "this would be a whole lot easier if they had some of that front sail up." Did they ever locate the boat with the...
John, I just purchased a 1980 382 a couple months ago. The po put long eye sta lok terminals on all the shrouds, the port forward lower has a longitudinal hairline crack about 1" long. I got the rig professionally inspected and they noticed a couple more cracks in the long part of the sta loks...
FYI. I just finished replacing the flax on our 1980 382. It took 1'11" of 1/2" for 3 rings. I put our 8' dinghy and a 40gal trash can on the bow and filled both with water, my 3yr old niece loved having a kiddy to play in! it raised the stern enough that barely a trickle of water came in...
