"Balanced Run" How I adjust "Jayne Ellen" on the fly
New Haven Sharpie "Jayne Ellen" Sailing in light air with falling tide.
I show how I adjust mast rake to change weather helm while sailing.
This sail I keep centerboard at about 6" down. This gave me about a 16" draft. Lowering centerboard will also change helm. The tide was falling and almost out.

Sailing "Jayne Ellen", a sharpie, in a Topsail Beach, sound creek, talking to JB on the phone. Copy of one hundred bushel sharpie used in 1880 to 1920 for oyster harvesting on eastern shores of the US coastline. Boat built by big t, to lines drawn by Reuel B.Parker, New Haven model. Plywood, epoxy, xynole polyester cloth construction. Launched 5th July 2000, after two years of construction.
Hi. Are you still sailing Jayne Ellen?
Yes went out yesterday @bigtplease on instagram
I'm glad that has happened to me I wouldn't know what to do
do you still have the sharpie
Yes I do. Sailed it a couple of weeks ago
Drop sail row to wind,raise sail fall off!
Tommy...magnificent...could you please tell me about the design of this Sharpie?
Tom This is the New Haven Sharpie as drawn in “The Sharpie Book” Reuel Parker. 27’10” LOA; 6’ beam; 8.75” draft. I have several videos on my page.
I wonder what the dogy is thinkin... like.. we going somewhere???
Excellent vid. Thanks for sharing. Adjustment to mast rake on the fly is cool. How you liking your boat after all these years? Any thoughts/comments?
Still love this boat. I know of no other boat design that would allow me to sail in narrow 1 to 2 foot deep creeks where I live. I have installed a new sole out of Ipe’ . Relocated all of the lead ballast more aft and out to the chine. Did not have a lot of time on the water this fall for testing.
@@Bigtplease we spend our family vacations around chincoteague and your boat looks pretty perfect for the bays there. Thanks again for sharing.
😀
Very nice. I have parker's sharpie book. Which of the designs is this one?
New Haven Sharpie
@@Bigtplease Thanks for the reply!
bout time for a new video Tom. I want to see more of Jayne Ellen. especially you adjustable mast step. Cheers, Tempo
Jayne Ellen is still on the hard. I am making adjustments to the mast step. I got a free Sunfish and have been sailing that with two other boats. Hope to have sharpie in water very soon. About two months left in my sailing season. Plan on taking some detailed video of the mast step if it would help anyone else with free standing mast.
I am sure you have worked this out by now, but for other viewers at 0:22 (and 2:37) you should have backed the rudder. The boat was slowly drifting backwards (pulling the sail across the centreline made you go backwards faster!) so the rudder steers in reverse. If you had backed the rudder, the bow would have come away from the wind, the sail would have filled and you would have sailed away nicely. Nice boat by the way.
Congratulations on the channel and the project. You can make the plans available. thank you
The Sharpie Book has plans for free or you can get them from Author
sail much ?
Well done .Nice boat.
Can`t beat length ! Wonderful boat . Thank you for the great videos .
REQUIRES THE ADDITION OF A "TILLER EXTENSION"; FEEL RELAXED UNDER STRESS...
ACCIDENT PRONE SAILORS - IT'S THE WIND AND THE SEA THAT GIVES THE TROUBLE - NEVER LEAVE THE RAMP WITH THE SMELL OF SALT AIR IN YOUR NOSE - I KNOW THE FEELING; WITH REGRET...
I noted the video’s year was 2014, I don’t know if your still receiving messages from TH-cam? I’m considering building or buying a sharp under 24 foot. I’m looking at one I saw in Port Townsend, a Sam Devlin design 18 foot, easily trailered which is good for me. I’m interested in a little more info about your boat and would you recommend it “sharpy” type hull to others? Another consideration is I’m an old sailer (70) looking for a trailerable boat with easy and forgiving handling.
Karl S send me an email @. Bigtphotosharp ie@gmail.com
I feel for you man. Fannie Salter is a heavy sharpie and i often need to back the main to get her around
Big t, we need to meet up I sail a 23' cedar keys sharpie in north carolina. Recent transplant from New Hampshire. Check out spartimeboatworks on you tube. Don
Spar-Time Boat Works I sail around Topsail Island. I have just had Rotator cuff surgery and most likely will not be sailing much this year. You should check out the wooden boat shows in NC and SC. The Beaufort and Cape Fear Community College are in the spring. The next big one is in Georgetown, SC. It will have around 75 boats. You should trailer your boat down. This is a great show. Check them out. Where are you located?
What a nice big sharpie. Thanks for showing your mast step adjustment mechanism .... so effective and so simple. You've got me thinking....
tilroh The tide was low this sail. I decided to keep the centerboard unchanged. Some days I raise or lower board to change weather helm. Don’t know if you have seen some of the other videos but this sharpie is almost 28’
She is sublime!
She must have a big skeg.
Jack Rabbit no skeg. Flat bottom sharpie with hard chines. Chines are the secret. Working on another video.
Are there any companies that build these on the west coast of Florida?? Im going to be buying property on the water in Saint James soon I think I might be want a boat like this and have it on a lift. I want to be able to beach it.
Looking forward to your next video - love watching them - a balm for those chilly house-bound winter days up here in Ottawa, Canada. I have a little Doug Hylan crab skiff I use as a "gettaway" machine. Love sharpies.
No skeg. Only her long centerboard and hard chines. The centerboard is used with very little draft. The boat must always have the leeward chine down.
I would try The Wooden Boat Publication. You can certainly beach these flat bottom boats. These boats are at home in shallow draft areas.
Great looking sharpie Tommy. I have considered building one. Who made the sail?
Dabler Sails from Virginia. He advertises in Wooden Boat. I really need a new one. !8 years and she is very soft. I would use them again.
detail video...absolutely!!!!
a fine outing in a outstanding sailboat. only way to make it better is to turn the electronic leash off.
Another excellent video of a rare traditional working sharpie, thanks! What is the "adjustable mast foot control'? Can you move the mast step?
tilroh yes I can increase or decrease weather helm on the fly, by adjusting the rake of the mast. The mast foot is inside a car that can be moved fore and Aft by a threaded rod. Also I can adjust the pivot of the centerboard fore and aft 13". By making adjustments I can sail in 12" of water with out any centerboard.
Being able to adjust the mast rake is brilliant, especially on a boat with no jib to balance the helm. My Sharpie's step is adjustable but only with the mast out. I've never heard of a centerboard's pivot point being adjustable and would love to see how you did it. Could you do a video of Jayne Ellen's details? I'm sure lots of people would be interested. Looking fwd to your next video. Thanks, Mack
Why don't you have a jib ?
I have one. They didn't use one back in the 1900's. I do not like it. Have to rake the mast aft and it does not run any better. I try not to reinvent the wheel.
Boring, not. I wish you would upload a bunch more videos of you hundred pound sharpie, I love this stuff, thanks for sharing.
Oh,I can remember doing the same kind of thing. That just means the run home was glorious!
I love these old work boats. They really take care of their crew.
Dear Tommy, thanks for sharing this video. I am interested in building 30footer the New Haven for commercial river touring. Is there a way to contact you? I would have several question about the model and boat performance. You can write me smat903@ygmail.com. Thanks
I'm glad I'm not the only one these things happen to...
I love marsh sailing! Nothing like scooting along in a light breeze. Very nicely done.
Aaaahh..some people should just buy an outboard!
Found it. It was nice talking to you out on the sandbar the other day. I really liked the boat.
Can you tell me if you have any ballast and what is your sail size? Awsome boat. Love NH sharpie.
vgaulin The boat weighted about 1200 lbs before rigging. I have about 700 lbs oflead plate and lead bricks. The boat is about one ton. The sail is about 160 sq ft.
Wow! more videos of Jayne Ellen please! Are there there any pictures you can point me to? I bet a 27' Sharpie is a blast to sail. Cheers, Mack
tilroh More videos to come. I have no profile shots yet.
