Page 3: Introduction
Spinnaker The typical Elizabethan 29 This chapter could be quite short, as there isn’t really a typical Elizabethan 29. Most of the earlier boats have some things in common with their peers, but all have been modified to a greater or lesser extent and later models, especially home completions, can be quite radically different. - Page 4 The Elizabethan 29 is best envisaged as a long folkboat with overhangs. For those familiar with the Stella, Kim Holman evolved that design to become the Elizabethan 29. She has a long keel with the rudder hung on the after end and angled forwards. The propeller sits in a cut-out about halfway down the rudder.

Page 5: Summary Of The Eoa Survey
3.1 Summary of the EOA survey Prior to starting the handbook, all the Elizabethan 29 owners in the EOA were invited to return a questionnaire to try and establish just what we could expect to find on a typical boat. As I said before, there was a huge variation but the following is an attempt to summarise the replies we received. -
Page 6: Sailing And Handling
Sailing and handling The Elizabethan 29 is designed to go faster by heeling over and dipping her overhangs in the water. This adds an extra four feet to her waterline length, and it is quite possible to exceed nine knots in flat water, if you hang on to the full rig on a reach in a force five. -
Page 7: Problems
Problems 5.1 Osmosis The Elizabethan 29 suffers no more osmosis problems than any other yacht of her era. Boats from the early sixties may suffer from lay-up problems, and will have been built from isophthalic resins which absorb water better than modern ones. On the other hand they are tremendously over-engineered by modern standards and are repairable in even the worst circumstances. -

this longer stock in, a hole had to be made on the after deck. Although stainless steel is the obvious material for the job, it needs to be carefully checked crevice corrosion on a yearly basis. The extension piece was replaced with 38mm square pieces, glued and screwed onto the rudder then each other then faired down by hand. -
Page 9: Projects
Projects 6.1 Repairing a blistering deck The problem: Small blisters, barely visible, edged by curved or semi-circular cracks, allowed water and dirt to get between the gel-coat and the deck. Eventually these blisters lifted causing huge cavities under the deck paint, leaving holes where the gel-coat cracked away. Impacts over the years further damaged the gel-coat and added to the general effect. - Page 10 into any imperfections. Bits of gel-coat will fly everywhere. If there are any black markings on the surface, the gel-coat underneath will usually have to be removed. Dig into the gel-coat that hasn’t deteriorated next to the blisters, but large areas of sound gel-coat need not be removed unless you have time and energy to spare.

Page 11: Fitting A Rubbing Strake
6.2 Fitting a rubbing strake The Problem: The join between the deck and the hull was originally capped with a moulding which covers the fibreglass joint but is essentially decorative. It is quite thin on the sides and contact with pontoons and other boats over the years will cause it to crack and bits to break off. -

thickness of the wood. The wood was clamped in place and the pilot holes were drilled through into the hull, being careful not to go all the way through! The wood was removed and epoxy glue was applied to the planed capping. The wood was then re-applied using the clamps, driving in the screws to draw the wood into place. -
Page 13: Adding A Sprayhood
bunk support has a vee cut into it and fits snugly on top of the tank. The holes in the bulkhead (to the heads compartment) were marked out by dropping in the tank and moving it as far forward as possible. - Page 14 evenly but would not work on a yacht without a hatch garage. Cyano has press-studs placed on the hatch in the open position, but reports they remain redundant after several seasons’ use. Andani’s sprayhood is tensioned by sliding the forward frame up on its tee-piece. Cyano’s has two forward-pointing support bars that are teed onto the forward frame with plumbing pipe clips, Press-studs Bolts...

Page 15: Anew Cockpit Grating
sewing machines will sew through two or three layers of standard weight canvas without too much trouble. Then drape the canvas back over the frame, the forward bar on the join. Mark where you want the after frame to be on the canvas with chalk, and measure the size of the side screens and cut from the last of the canvas. - Page 16 The grating should be held in place in the cockpit to avoid it floating away in the unlikely event of a wave washing into the cockpit. One method is to have pins that push sideways into the wooden strip that runs the length of the cockpit.

up the long seam all the way around and thread the shock cord through it, exiting at the eyelets. Put a knot in one end before you thread it through, and do heat seal the ends. Use a knitting needle to push it and work it along inside the seam, and fine-nosed pliers to pull it back through the eyelet. -

this boat the door is hung on the heads’ side. The hull-side of the shelves is lined with polystyrene insulation to cut down condensation. The front of each shelf is faced with a deep fiddle, varnished to high gloss. On Evadne the door is on the cupboard, the new (china) toilet bowl protruding too far into the boat to accommodate a door. -
