| | | 11-08-2017, 09:37 | | | I recently had the opportunity to board a Sundeer 56/60 while I was on another boat that had to raft up to it in St. John's (Newfoundland) harbor. While I was not able to see below decks because the owner/crew was not aboard at the time, I was very impressed by what I saw when I carefully and quietly crossed their decks to first tie up to the boat and then later, to get ashore. The first impression was "high quality." Everything on this particular boat looked "Bristol condition" and all of the and finish looked perfect. Everything from the trim (minimal) to the stainless was in perfect condition. My second impression was of the hard dodger/Pilothouse. I liked what I saw. Some Sundeer have a soft , but most apparently have a hard (doghouse) or pilothouse. This one was long enough for two internal settees that looked about 6 feet long. It was very nicely constructed, and appears to give excellent visibility to anyone sitting inside on watch. On this particular boat, the doghouse/pilothouse had an enclosed build, with doors to the rest of the . I mention this, because I have seen others that were open (no doors enclosing the aft end of pilothouse). I very much liked what I saw. I suppose the doors could be removed in the tropics (on other boats), but in the cold location I was in at the time, the thought of a nice dry and warm protected pilothouse/doghouse was appreciated. My third impression was of the wide side decks as I walked forward towards the bow (we had to raft up). These are designed as flush deck boats, so the deck forward of the pilothouse is relatively flat and open. I walked forward and past the numerous large Dorade vents (the boat has 10), each with a granny bar guard around it. The impression I had was of "great working deck space" and "security" from numerous handholds and a higher lifeline (I estimate 32 inches). The relatively flat deck was covered in nice anti-slip . Everything felt "high quality" and well designed. There were several large square deck hatches too. Here are some more facts and statements from my notes on this boat design. , so over the years I have collected some facts and snippets of descriptions. I encourage sailors to read about these boats and their design because they represent such a high level of "blue boat design" and have many interesting features. The photos I am below are simply added to illustrate this boat. The Sundeer line includes a 64 footer, and you may see one in the following photos, I am adding it to show the design too. They are very similar. The 56/60 is essentially the same boat, with the 60 having a larger lazzerette locker in the stern. ______________________ Steady: Designed by Steve Dashew. To learn more about Dashew, his name to find his site "Set Sail" and then read his bio and some of his (he has provided several of his excellent as free download PDF files). I learned a lot by reading his "Offshore Cruising Encyclopedia" 28 years ago, and it is one of his free books today. Highly recommended. Snippets from other : "They were built by Tillotson Industrial Composites or TPI for short in Warren, . They produced seventeen of the 56/60 Sundeers from 1994 to 1997. They regularly average over 200 nautical miles a day . The Sundeer has large capacity carrying 400 gallons of water and 220 gallons of . or , or in most places an air conditioner. A good review (written in 2000) tells some details. Here are some excerpts: " intake is via a through-hull fitting that feeds a manifold with taps to the , fridge, toilets, etc., and all output is through a above the waterline in the stern of the boat, or through big structural standpipes that require no seacocks. pumps, and a single high-capacity engine-driven crash has intakes plumbed into each compartment for use. With a Displacement/Length ratio of 80, the boat's qualifies it as an ultralight , but its rig, with a Sail Area/Displacement ratio of 17.5 is, by comparison, quite conservative. This is of the Sundeer : a light, very easily-driven coupled with a modest, easily handled sail plan. Most importantly, the radical D/L is achieved not through radical lightweight construction, but primarily through hullform. , arguably the single most significant factor when it comes to performance, while minimizing beam, thus greatly reducing wetted surface while maintaining directional stability. The entry is very fine and the bilges are rounded rather than flat, reducing both horizontal and vertical wave resistance. Because the long, narrow hull has good directional stability and does not need a tall rig to drive it, the can be kept short and shallow, further reducing wetted surface while enhancing structural integrity. For cruising sailors this has added benefits. The six-foot allows access to shoal-water cruising grounds, and the 64-foot mast can squeak under bridges on the Intracoastal Waterway. and Sail Handling: What struck us most about the Sundeer is that under sail she does not feel at all like a 60-foot boat. From behind the , the impression is of an easily managed 45-footer. Only when one starts moving forward along the deck toward the bow and notices the trip takes longer than expected is the boat's true size made apparent. In anything approaching favorable conditions, it will be easy to push this boat over 200 miles a day, and in ideal conditions, you should see around 240 miles. But the most remarkable aspect of the boat's speed is how effortless it can seem. On several occasions in moderate conditions, when it felt as though the boat was just lazing along, we glanced at the speedo and were surprised to find we were turning a crisp 10 knots. One may be tempted to dismiss the of a 60-foot boat that can be easily sailed by one or two people as oxymoronic, but, in fact, it is not. Again, this is not a large boat, simply a long one. The rig is short and the can be set, reefed and furled without any or hydraulic assistance. The deck and are very comfortable and easy to move around in a seaway. The systems are well thought out, easy to access and maintain, and can, if one chooses, be kept extremely simple for a boat this size.

Racing boats often have a Flush Deck to allow their crews to work efficiently and safely while changing head sails. Some traditional boats have flush decks to accommodate a dinghy or other gear on deck. Some cruisers prefer a Flush Deck so they may keep a dinghy on deck, but in a lower position on deck. 3.
Flush Deck Boats Making A Comeback While Flush Deck boats are a traditional design, often seen in old wooden boats (e.g. Pilot Cutters), there is a revival of interest in flush deck boats seen at the highest levels of premium or expensive yachts, with some high-end marques such as Wally. I will post more about these in the future, but here are a couple of photos to give you a sense that FD ...

CAL 25 "As every sailor will tell you, having a well sealed deck is important." I raced double handed on a CAL 25 in San Francisco Bay. The Flush Deck on a small boat like this can provide more headroom in the small boat, making it more comfortable below.But, it also allows for safer work on the foredeck, as oftentimes small boats with trunk cabins have very narrow decks and small foredecks.

What Is A Flush Deck Sailboat? The flush deck design is a type of ship deck that doesn't have any raised areas. This means that there are no stairs or ladders, and sailors can move freely around the entire ship. This kind of design was well known to be used on ships during World War II. While flush decks can have many benefits, they may also ...

Some would consider the Cal 25 a "flush-deck" sailboat, as the top section of the cabin runs flush with the bow to the cockpit. This design increases cabin space and improves the lines of the boat. The Cal 25 was produced between 1965 and 1976, making it one of the older fiberglass sloops on our list. That said, Cal Yachts build quality is ...

The Oceanis 45 is a sailing yacht with a spacious and bright interior, designed by Nauta Design. It offers a range of options below deck, including two heads and three or four cabins, in either light oak or mahogany.
In the traditional raised cabin the windage is from the side of the boat plus the side of the cabin. In a flush deck the windage is from the extra high deck side, but the extra height is the same height as the cabin side in the traditional design. I take your point about scuppers -- very important.
