JAE 45

[gil sonsino]

For you that run Jae's 45 : what is the OD for the Jae .45 boom and the distance between inner sides of sponsons?

Thanks

5/16" solid CF rod, 24" long will do the trick for you.

That 24" dimension outside to outside is a real good number..........you will be very happy with that sponson spread.......

Good point Rod, I did not say that was the measurement.

Where are you getting 5/16 soild carbon rods @24inchs?

 

[Paul Traufler]

This place has pretty good stuff. Good Winds You can get 48" and cut it in half also, cheaper that way but not by much.

Gil, mine has 3/8" hollow carbon booms (haven't run it yet so can't tell you how it works). When you order from Goodwinds tell them the exact OD you are looking for (ie .375") and ask them if they will measure it before they send it to you. I have bought some from them in the past and it was about .005 oversize and would not fit in the brass tubes.

Thanks Glenn.

Glenn those 3/8 hollow CF tubes would work fine, however being hollow they will crack/break pretty easy in an impact with say a bouy. (I wonder how I know that!) But on the other side that means the tube will break BEFORE more important and harder to fix parts break. I do find the hollow tubes tend to split at the ends near the bolt that holds the sponsons, so that is a place to watch out for. (Or use some solid material on the ends to make the tubes less prone to splitting.) I guess a 3/8 hollow would hold up pretty well over the 5/16 hollow tubes. As for weight savings of hollow over solid that would not really matter much in a 45 size boat. With the hollow tubes you have to really look over the tubes after any impacts, they crack and look ok on the outside but under load they will come apart.

If the boat is designed around a hollow tube you could always run a solid rod thru the tube.

Its time to choose a turnfin...... which one do you recommend?

Thanks

Mike Huges makes a good one, it is based on the JAE plans. He is on IW.

Yes I have one of Mike's fins on my boat. It looks nice, but like the booms, I have not had a chance to run it yet

Paul and Glenn I ásked Mike for one fin yesterday.As I'm not familiar to this boat size I have the impression (not sure) that the lenght and width of this tub is the same of the Jae .21...correct me if I'm wrong.

Thanks

Gil, the 45 boat is much larger than the 21 boat.
