Jib sheeting detail on 7200. This boat has the standard Waterat fore-and-aft jib lead tracks, but also has a barber hauler to pull the lead out. Note that the barberhauler pulls the lead forward (or down) as it pulls it outboard. A light shockcord pulls the floating barberhauler block down to a Ronstan cheek block mounted above the jib cleating platform. This does not alter jib lead angle, but prevents the barberhauler block from getting tangled on something, or from scarring the finish on the seat tank. |

On most Waterats, the shroud system is in front of the diagonal bulkheads. You can see the shroud extension emerging from a tube in the seat tank, forward and slightly above the jib cleating platform. It runs through a slot in the bulkhead, to a triple wire block. A wire tackle runs between that triple block and a 2nd fastened on the mast step. The wire comes off the tackle and is turned to run aft along the base of the centerboard trunk. The wires from both shrouds run down the same side of the centerboard trunk, are combined, and deadended on a double block with a rope tackle. On 7200, this rope (line?) is run to both seat tanks, so that the shrouds (and the forestay) are adjustable on the seat tank rather than close to centerline on an aft thwart as on most Waterats. 7200 does not have a forward thwart. Waterat uses the Hamlin tooling, but makes some modifications such that the CB cap is lower and the forward thwarts lower. Also the layup and structure are somewhat different. Boats numbered up to about 7201 are Hamlins not Waterats. Several wood interior boats were built by Waterat on Hamlin hulls... These have numbers close to 7346. The first Waterat built when Larry Tuttle got the Hamlin moulds was 7352 (which was later renumbered to 7772). Read more here... TEXT: Ali Meller
