Ebbtides

[Chris Bradbury]

Hi Brent,

Welcome to the group, if one can call it a group as there is very little activity on here. Unlike some boat owners ebbtide owners have not got it together. It would be good to get this site up and running.

We are at present in Brazil. We left the UK in 2012 and plan to return in 2016 via the Caribbean.

We sail on Moontide a 33ft ebbtide. I have sailed her from the UK to the Caribbean and back again twice. The ebbtides are very strong and very safe boats to cruise in. They are also quite fast for their weight. You will not regret buying a ebbtide. Alan Pape definitely got this design right. 

If you have any questions post them here and we will try to help.

Chris and Keren.

Hi Guys,

Great to hear from you.  No Activity is perhaps a good thing being that there are no significant problems with the Ebbtides that need solutions.  My Wife and I are land lubbers for now,  though want to do some longer sails in the near future.  We are excited to be the new owners of Azoth (Ebbtide 33) and are going on weekend sails around Moreton Bay. We upgraded from a 22” fibreglass boat so Azoth seems huge and heavy and stable though surprisingly quick.  Ill posts a couple of questions to the group.

 

Cheers

Brent

Hi Brent,

Bill is dead right about long keel boats not going astern. As Bill says take it slow and practise. If you have a three bladed prop as I do you will find that the boat will want to go to one side most of the time. You can use this action to you advantage with a little forward thinking. I sometimes find it helps to knock the drive into neutral as this removes the prop walk. This prop walk is what causes the back end of the boat moving to port or starboard. If all else fails go into the berth bow first.

Chris.
