Re: Jaysen's Helms 24
4.17' per plan. I like to add a foot just to keep me out of trouble. It's not like I stuck a J30 on dry land or anything...
I also need to get a keel inspection done as there are rumors that SOME of them were extended. Based on my measurements in the hull, I may have the longer fin. The "shoal keel" hull had the fin start under the V and terminate mid "void". My keel appears to start just at the mast compression post and terminates just forward of the companion way. The narrower but longer keel was then able to be swapped with a winged keel (I can not determine from what source but I've seen photos of 2).

Re: Jaysen's Helms 24
good fun!
will it be a mostly weekend type thing or you plan on longer trips with it or what is the plan?
any chance of doing the great loop or is it too small for that long a stint? if its a chance, then electric propulsion might not be that great an idea.

Re: Jaysen's Helms 24
No interest in “loop”. All saltwater for us. And as much under wind as possible.
I can see us spending a month on board. Pick down in a harbor. Sightseeing and fishing. Really just a floating RV when you get down to it.

Trying to identify the connectors used to disconnect the mast wiring from the hull. I think these from West Marine are the same.
Here is one that I removed from the hull (wires pulled out before I touched it )

No no no no no. You can’t pin that on me. It was like that when I got it. Mrs agrees to that story.

The void. As you can see, there is no engine.
I removed a crap ton of unconnected wire. Re rigged the battery management stuff. The red blur in the upper left is a outboard fuel tank. It is sitting on the proper, factory built battery locations. Tank will be moved to a mounting location further back allowing bats to “go home”. Current battery location will then be opened up for backup gear and tool storage. Also likely to be the anchor stowage.
Before y’all say I’m slow upstairs, that whole section can be reached via the starboard lazerette. In nirvana, I’d be able to deploy and retrieve anchor entirely from the cockpit. I’ve a couple bad ideas to make that happen.
