See on lugu iseehitatud Paradox tüüpi purjeka veeskamisest ja ristimisest. Purjeka disaini on pisut muudetud, e. tehtud 20% pikemaks (kokku 5,1m) ja disainitud hiina dzonki puri. Peale esimesi proovisõite tuleb mõningaid parendusi ja täiustusi. Purjeka ehituslooga on võimalik tutvuda siin: foorum.kipper.ee/viewtopic.ph...
When I saw all that tube I thought you were going to lay a pipeline 😀
Very interesting boat!
Nice boat ! By the way even in old times the champagne bottles were prepared by scratching them before the ceremony...... good luck on all your voyages with her
Thanks! 🙂
Looks like 15 to 20 knots. Very good build. Nice sheer. Great launch and first sail.
Pretty boat and great speach, thsnks!!
Beautiful boat. Thank you for sharing.
Well done Eerik. She looks great!
:)
That boat looks great!!
Thanks! I tried my best ;)
A brilliant boat!
Thank you ereik .
Very nice build.
I'm amazed that I found your blog. I plan to build a Paradox and had already decided to use a junk rig. I found you by trying to find is a Paradox could be built a little bit bigger and I found your blog! You made exactly what I want! Thanks, JT in Louisiana, USA
Hi there, were you able to build your boat yet and did you document it if you did? 👍
Hey, after looking at the cost, I decided to eventually get a Westerly Warwick, if I can find one. @@turk_dogan
Very clever boat.
Awww, she's adorable :D
Сделано конечно хорошо. Даже отсюда видно. Функционал...-капсула для укрытия от холодных,промозглым ветров. И... очень тесно.
Очень похожую конструкцию недавно спустил Wave rover-2. Но там узкоспецифично для одиночной кругосветки.
merci
One request please post more videos of the Paradox not much out there especially new stuff. Thank you good sailing enjoy it!!
I will! Just that the first season ran short. Just got to go out for four times. A bit patience and there will be more ;)
Eerik Mee How many hours do you think you have invested in the build? Did you use the lead ballast or just water bottles?
I have spent around 900 hours so far. Both were used, about 100kg of lead and 140 liters of water. For next season I plan to have 200kg of lead and water on top as much as needed :)
Asi es amigo, opino igual, suba mas videos queremos ver al PARADOX THU
Like the Junk sail. Would have been good to learn more about it. Well done...
Hi Shane,
You can visit junkrigassociation.org
Lots of information about it. Including how to sew your own sail.
необычный корпус. А китайский парус на деле очень даже эффективен! Хорошее видео.
Семь футов под килем!
Спасибо!
@@eerikmee2050 я живу на Беломорье, и задумываюсь о парусной лодке. Хочу небольшой швертбот или минияхту.
В детстве на самодельном швертботе (Джеки шпрот) с шпринтовым парусом как на «Оптимисте» обошёл половину Кандалакшского залива.
The more I see of the Paradox, the more I really do like it.
Having successfully lengthened your Paradox, do you have any thoughts on how much shorter than standard a Paradox could be constructed?
Your launch speech was excellent, and despite the weather, the spirit of the launch and maiden voyage was great.
The cabin looks to be a superb place to be in foul weather, and one Paradox crew no longer take wet weather clothing as they're always comfortably battened down in such conditions.
The cabin looks surprisingly spacious and I love how you modified the rear of the cabin housing to allow deck seating in good weather, this is an inspired feature.
Thank you for sharing your excellent videos.
Hi Felix Cat,
Thanks for the kind words!
The designer of the Paradox, Matt Layden, has also built an Enigma 360, that is very similar boat but is just 3.6m or 11' 10'' long; and to go even further from here - a Paradoxian Andre-Francois has designed a Gorfnik which is just 8 feet long. It has very simple hull shape (PDRacer), but is also steerable from inside, and has just enough of space for sleeping inside. :)
Thanks for posting this. I have one question. Why didn't you design an outside seating option? Is it too cold where you live?
Hi, Kognito Loop. The original paradox is designed by Matt Layden, as coastal cruiser, to be safe all weather cruising. When the weather is good, you will sail the hatch open; but I have altered the design a bit, so the aft part of the cabin top is also removable, and in light winds I can sit on top of aft deck ;)
6:50 “Now the steering got heavier.”
That’s because the rudder blade was only half way down. Put a line to pull it right down or use ballast so that it sinks of it’s own accord.
Hi Q.E.D
The rudder blade has ballast. It was half way down intentionally, because of the shallow waters. :)
Thanks for comment!
Eerik Mee 👍
the steering would become heavier with the rudder half deployed. Given the length of the rudder in that position consider the lever arm that creates.
Very nicely built boat. Gorgeous. I'm wondering if the junk rig worked out for you?
I am quite happy with the rig so far. I have only been out on a small lake so far; and I am not sure about how high we can point, due to unstable winds on the lake. But it works as expected.
Very nice boat. Congratulations with it.
Can you share your experience with your rig?
Does it live up to your expectations?
Thanks, Saxe! I only got to go out 4 times in the first season, so I still need to fine tune the rig. But I am happy so far: the chinerunnes prevent leeway as promised, she is tacking with ease, the sail has a bit more twist that I would like but I have ideas on how to fix it. Can't make any conclusion on pointing yet, but the boat and the handling correspond to expectations, yes :)
I notice your boat looks larger than the standard size Paradox? Has it been scaled up in all dimensions or just in length? I saw that the length of your boat is 5.1m.
Hi, the boat is scaled up 20%, in all dimensions :)
Interesting. To my untrained eye it looks like the center of effort of the sail is too far back, behind the center of lateral resistance of the hull? But looking at other Paradoxes, they appear similar... I guess that's just suitably paradoxical 😅
Paradox has a big rudder blade that that moves the lateral area a bit further back; and the chine runners are also affecting on drag while boat is heeled.
Beautiful Junk Rig. Do you have a dagger board?
Hi Joseph
Paradox doesn't have a dagger board. Instead she has chinerunners, these are 2 small horizontal "wings" sticking out from the sides. You can find plenty of information on internet about this.
Прекрасная работа! А как обеспечивается водонепроницаемость люка? Как его закрываете на замок
? При какой силе волны ходили?
Привет Андрей,
Я коротко объясняю это в другом видео, Mostly boat tour this time, начало примерно в 12:30. Люк и рама люка сделаны под углом, и при закрытий люка зазор уменьшается и уплотнение сжимается.
фотки о системе люка вы также можете найти в ссылке в конце paradoxbuild.blogspot.com/p/blog-page_26.html
Что касается замка, вы увидите, что в конце люка есть петля для замка. Я просто вешу туда замок, а он не дает открыться люку.
Я был на море с волнами около 1 метра.
A beautiful build, I missed$ this video….Erik are there any more coming?
Hi Tony,
This summer I was so busy with work that I didn't make it out on the water. But I did some modifications on the boat and built a trailer; and I hope I can turn this to a video. Next season I try to do better...
@@eerikmee2050 thanks Eerik good to hear from you. Cheers Tony
Eerik, I am just starting my build and will probably go Junk Rig also. I believe the mast is forward of designed location. How did you determine what location to install mast?
Thanks
Erik (Ohio)
Hi George,
As my mast is higher and accordingly is the part below deck; it didn't fit into the vent box above waterline, so had to do something. I moved it just fore of the bulkhead, so not much, 200mm or 8 inches the most. Another option would be to move the vent box slightly to the left and have the mast next to it (perhaps even just make it a bit narrower, leaving the mast spot outside of it), as close as possible to it's original location. That would also make the lines entering point through the deck to be on a better location. My lines enter just aft of the mast and they are interacting with the sail on SB tack. Not a big issue though.
Thank you for response! I have a while before I get to installing a mast so will do more research on best location (Sail balance/efficiency) as it applies to Paradox.
Show...
Este velero puede navegar en el mar? O es solo para navegar en lagos y aguas tranquilas?
Hola Andre,
No me siento seguro en español, así que respondo en inglés.
Yes, this boat can be sailed in the sea. In fact, this season I did sail in the Baltic sea. Similar, but even smaller Paradoxes are sailing in the sea near Great Britain; and the original, also smaller Paradox, has made several trips from Florida to the Bahamas and back.
@@eerikmee2050 ok thanks for you reply, is important for me... I live in Panamá, you known have 2 oceans and I shop plans of vacationer of stevens project but many people here say me is not for the sea! And I like a strong boat but here no big and sailing lakes only sea... One more time thanks for you reply. Good health and long life for you in this hards times. Sorry for me bad english, jejje I hope you undestand me.
Where shop the paradox plans?
I understand you well, Andre. You can shop the plans here: www.microcruising.com/plans1.htm
Paradox is fine if you keep it on trailer and stay on anchor or beech her for the night. During my first season on the sea I stayed in the marinas in about half the nights, and due to her flat bottom it was a bit stressful to get in and out of the marinas with big waves and windy condition. I will modify the bow part of the bottom for the next season.
just a wild guess, this is cold climate sailing.
Not tropical for sure, but during sailing season it's not so very cold ;)
Good morning, I'm Rodrigö, I live in Brazil on the beach, would you be able to donate me the plans to build my house, my dream of freedom, thank you
funny guy :)
replace the junk rig with multi-batten gaff rig and get 10% better performance up-wind, and no down-side.
Thanks! Maybe on my next boat 😉
Can you reef a multi-batten gaff rig the same way you'd reef a junk, by just lowering the halyard while underway?
Мда... При таких размерениях тесновато будет. И не-у-доб-но.
Kаждому свое. И не забывай что ето лодка 20% увеличиванный вариант лодки которых ужэ построили 60 ексемпляров. Владельтсы давольны :)
Doesn't exactly look like a fun boat.
Different people have fun different ways ;)
No one who knows anything about yacht design was involved in designing this hull or deck.
Considering the number of boats been built and how pleased the Paradoxowners are with their boats, it must be just the beginner's luck then!
The designer is a naval architect!
Open mouth, insert foot.
So what you're saying, BenjaminFranklin, is that you weren't involved?
Typical chinese Jung Sail
It is typical, yes, but actually there are many types of these junk sails.
Typical and beautiful 👍
