Hello all, I'm will be in the market for my first boat sometime here in the next few months. I think I have read just about everything I could find on the web...
I am looking at a Y 30, 1972 that has a tabernacle mast. I don't see any reference to anything but keel stepped mast on the Y30. The current owner says it is...
I was interested in buying the Y 30 "Ninaem" in Indiantown/Fl. Surveying the hull and deck structure I realized that the bulkheads and (wooden)interior is not...
A compression post, between the keel and deck, directly under the mast, would provide adequate support for a deck-stepped mast. But, it would be easier to...
Remember the side-loads as well! For a deck stepped mast, which replaces a keel stepped one, there has to be a load distributing arrangment with compression...
I think I understand the issues, but what I am interested in is finding out if any Y30 were originally built with a tabenacle mast. If they did, I would think...
Yankee never built any desk stepped masts. A number of owners after the fact did use a tabernacle due to particular circumstances such as keeping the boat in...
The cabin sole (floor liner) of my Yankee 30 is cracking at the base of the campanionway ladder. The previous owner tried to patch it with some type of expoxy...
What kind of cracking / pattern of cracking? Any hard spots / surface crazing from costant flexing of hull/keel (wrong storage)? Maybe a grounding? Or just a...
Thanks for your reply. Maybe I didn't make myself clear. The cracking is occurring in the fiberglass (plastic?) liner which serves as the cabin floor. I...
As I remember the liner is part of the inner hull structure and strength. If there are no glassed/bonded in reinforcing frames or floor boards, the liner has...
My 71 Yankee 30 has "Lewmar 8" halyard winches which require a smaller 5/8" 8 point star shank (connection from handle to winch). I'm having trouble finding a...
They are still available from Lewmar but at a very high price. I have removed all of the 5/8" drive winches from my boat and have a complete set of winches...
I have scheduled to go look at a yankee in maryland, and i was curiuous if there was a boatheck available for standard issues. the link on the website for the...
Jordan, There are two or three different interiors. If you check the photos on the Yankee website I think you can see examples of each. The interior I'm ...
Jordan I have recently returned to the area and am living in Arlington, VA. In my search for a Yankee 30 I looked at over 30 Mk I, IIs, and IIIs. I am...
I have been looking at yankees available because I have been very impressed by them and there is one for sale that is without a mast. I went online to try to...
The mast of my Yankee 30 MK III was made by Kenyon. I believe they are still in business. If you google the web for them, I believe you will find several...
Call a rigging shop. An un-tapered aluminum extrusion will be far cheaper than a mast from Kenyon. They will be able to direct you to a source, or possible...
As you may know there are 3 different rigs for the Yankee 30: Short, Standard, and Mark III. See website. If you are the guy looking to put a new rig on, it...
Although I think they were originally rigged with a 1/4", most of the boats we have re-rigged and my boat all have had 9/32" headstays. Cheers, Douglas ... ...
All of the Yankee 30's we have re-rigged (4 in the last couple of years) have had 1/4" headstays and oddly all been equipped with Harken Unit One furlers. The...
Had my new (old) MK1 Yankee 30 out in 25 knots, gusting to 30. Slack tide, 2 to 3 foot seas. Had the main fully reefed and a 90% jib. We found her reluctant...
Hi Bill, A little more information would be helpful, but your problem is probably related to sail shape, which is affected by the condition/age of the sails, ...
Hello Bill, We frequently sail in 25+ and more than a 2-3 foot chop. I have never experienced any problem tacking the boat. When you say "fully reefed" I...
