NEW YORK / VOYAGER 655
Transits the North West Passage. See STUDY PLANS for photos etc.A little over a year and a half ago, when my old
sailing mate Mark Schrader informed me that e'd found the ideal boat
for Around the Americas
www.aroundtheamericas.org
, our planned expedition into the Northwest Passage and beyond, I
was very pleased. But in all
honesty, when he
told me that the boat he'd discovered was a 20-year-old, Bruce
Roberts designed steel cutter that'd been cruising in Mexican waters
for the last decade, I was considerably less enthused.
Now, after almost
three hard months of nearly continuous travel, we're roughly
two-thirds of the way along the Northwest Passage, and we've put
literally thousands of miles behind us. And as far as our 64-foot
yacht, Ocean Watch, is concerned, I can't imagine a better tool for
the job at hand.
She
always had pretty lines, and that's a good sign. The previous
owners, a husband-and-wife team of marine biologists who'd used the
boat partly as a floating laboratory and also as their liveaboard
home, had looked after her well. But her systems, wiring, plumbing,
rig, and sails were old and tired. For the trip we had in mind,
she'd need a total overhaul. Last fall and winter, under the
direction of our first mate, Dave Logan, Ocean Watch was completely
transformed in a Seattle boatyard. Dave and I will be writing in
depth about her refit in an upcoming print edition of Cruising
World. For the time being, let me just say that when I drove out
West last May to begin the voyage, I knew she'd undergone a ton of
work. But I still couldn't believe my eyes. The last time I'd seen
the old girl, as the saying goes, she'd been ridden hard and put
away wet. Now she looked like she was ready for anything, and since
we were bound for the Arctic Circle, that was a very good thing
indeed.
In the months since, we've encountered all sorts of
conditions, ranging from flat calms to small gales. Ocean Watch has
performed flawlessly across the board. On the trip north from
Mexico, our average speed was less than 5 knots, and we were pushing
hard. These days, with her new Lugger Marine diesel engine, she
makes a steady 7.5 knots under power in a moderate seaway at a very
efficient 1500 rpm. Under sail, with her new suit of canvas from
Carol Hasse's Port Townsend Sails loft (and a revamped rig,
including a new mast track to replace the former in-mast furling
mainsail), we've made speeds of nearly 10 knots when close-reaching
in 15 knots of wind.
Honestly, it's like we have a brand-new boat.
Luckily, we've yet to sail Ocean Watch in truly heavy air and
storm-tossed seas. That day, no doubt, is coming soon. But if what
we've seen thus far is any indication, we're more than a little
optimistic about how she'll fare. We've got a lot of confidence in
our boat, which any sailor knows is a very good thing to have. And
considering my first misgivings, that's been a very pleasant
surprise.

Roberts NEW YORK 65
Hi Buce,
Surfing a Bruce Roberts designed "Carol Lee" down some 12-14
occasional 16+ foot / 5 m seas. Winds were sustained 35 knots gusting
higher. The Carol Lee is a steel 65 foot long cutter rigged sloop. This
video was taken shortly after sunrise just south of Cape Mendocino. The
Coast Pilot describes Cape Mendocino as a place of "great climactic
change" I concur! Super fun! Bruce, video of one of your designs surfing down waves. That's me
on the helm. Andrew

Hi
Bruce,
Andrew Bermel, my ex-USCG delivery captain sent u a link to the Carol
Lee.
The original name was Melon Eye, so now you know: she actually is the New
York 65 on your website.
Second owner bought her in Coose Bay, OR sailed her to Ilwaco and put
her in the boat yard 3 years ago.
You designed a beautiful, very fast ocean runner:
She starts surfing beyond hull-speed and
can do a steady 14-17 knots,
top speed so-far was 20.5 knots!
I'll send some pics later on, Best Regards, Hans Duetz |

MELON EYE
Hi
Bruce,
I’ve attached
a few pictures of her sailing, we’ve only owned her about 5 months so
haven’t had a chance to get really good pictures. She looks pretty rough and
needs a paint job but we are slowly improving her while we cruise. We love
her because she was well made and has good bones. Even though she’s 65’ long
we find that the both of us can handle her with ease. A great design.
Regards Carley.

Dear Bruce,
I have constructed a beautiful New York 65 "Melon Eye. I would like to share
info with you. Paul & Melinda West of Ketchikan Alaska.
Hello, I wasn't sure if Paul responded to you letter or not. We have made a lot of
progress with the Melon Eye. We put her under Sail last year. The interior is
almost done fewer stacks of lumber! Thanks for the interest. She is really a beautiful boat. Paul has done a
wonderful job. Paul & Melinda West. |

Here we see the construction of the hull male
mold which consists of frames cut using the full size patterns supplied with
the boat plans plus the addition of timber battens, C-flex fiberglass and shows
the first layers of fiberglass laminate. |

On the left we see the C-Flex Fiberglass being installed on a hull mold
as described above. Similar methods are used to install core material such
as Corecell or Airex foam.
On the left
we see hull rolled over to the upright position and then the mold is lifted
out of the hull shell. The mold is sometimes removed in one piece as shown
here or in parts depending on the shape of the hull and the method used to
laminate the hull. |
