The second half of Fall has brought in uncommonly cold weather for Western Long Island Sound - but we will take what we get and we will like it. The Triton 466 Jollyboat Blog page has been sadly neglected for the better part of the year but with so much to do and so little time to do "it" in the blog time seemed a place for time budget slashing. With that said, I hope to spend more on these pages as forward progress in the last 12 months has at least granted me tempory shore leave to enjoy as I please.<br />The picture of JOLLYBOAT with her mainsail up while at her mooring in the Five Mile River, in Rowayton, Connecticut is the same sail that I currently selling on the Plastic Classic Forum Classified Listings. The sail is basically new albeit having seen several sails on JOLLYBOAT this past summer. The headsail is radial built sail and have since built a radial cut main sail to match and so am selling the cross cut main sail. This is an excellent sail and will make some lucky Triton sailor pleased as punch.

I have renamed her <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_0">JOLLYBOAT</span>. Previously #466 had been named SHELLEY and later LOVELY-LAURA. I believe that #466 lived most of it's life in western Long Island Sound. Having a little knowledge to work with from my first 15 year Triton #346, #466 was in rough shape, however, the boat had survived to that point with many of the original bits and pieces in place. Though in need of TLC I could see that #466 had received some worthwhile attention in the past. Since the start of my care I have removed all of the <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_1">aftermarket</span> "improvements" made to the boat and now will concentrate the simplified original design characteristics. Project goals for 06. Rudder rebuild, new tiller, new bottom, new running rigging, adjustable <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_2">back stay</span>, full inventory of gran-<span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_3">prix</span> sails, new engine install, new wiring, new interior paint, new exterior paint, head rebuild and new mast support beam."<br /><br /><br /><br />This posting was made over three years ago and many of the goals that were planned have been accomplished. Having made many of these same repairs to my first Triton #346 my approach was more systematic and organized. Another note worth mention is the <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_4">development</span> of the sailing on-line <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_5">community</span>. To name one of many, The Plastic Classic Forum, for example has been a fantastic resource for both connecting like minded individuals but also for the sharing of ideas, methods and <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_6">philosophies</span> on a varied array of topics about out beloved <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_7">Tritons</span> as well as many other wonderful sailboats that resulted out of the 'plastic revolution' in yacht manufacturing.<br /><br /><br /><br />At the time of this writing the repairs that have been completed on <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_8">JOLLYBOAT</span> include, the removal of the <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_9">original</span> 25 gallon <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_10">Monel</span> fuel tank, original Universal Atomic Four and all of the <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_11">components</span> that were part of that installation and the replacement of the White Oak mast support beam, Other repairs include having the bottom sandblasted and then applying the <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_12">Interlux</span>, <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_13">Interprotect</span> 2000 Epoxy <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_14">Barrier</span> Coat System (<a href="http://www.yachtpaint.com/Images/15_6819.pdf">http://www.yachtpaint.com/Images/15_6819.pdf</a>) and sanding to original gel coat, preparation and spray painting the topsides with Awl-Grip Flag Blue (<a href="http://www.awlgrip.com/awlgrip_pages/default.htm">http://www.awlgrip.com/awlgrip_pages/default.htm</a>). With the boat out of the water I took the this <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_15">opportunity</span> to completely rebuild the original rudder assembly in where I was able to refurbish and reuse most of the original assembly in <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_16">conjunction</span> with modern <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_17">epoxy</span> glues (<a href="http://www.westsystem.com/">http://www.westsystem.com/</a> . The summer of 2007 allowed for the entire rig to be inspected and overhauled as well as new running rigging and new beautiful five full batten main, 165% radial <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_18">headsail</span> and 165% <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_19">asymmetric</span> .75 oz. spinnaker.

It is worth mentioning that both <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_28">Harken</span> USA and Hathaway get a 'hats off' for their assistance with this endeavor. The work continues in the restoration of <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_31">JOLLYBOAT</span> and even with the repairs that have completed to this point <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_32">JOLLYBOAT</span> continues to be in demand of much attention. I would also like to mention that <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_33">JOLLYBOAT</span> will be getting another Universal Atomic Four installed and I would like to thank Yacht Restoration for the help.JOLLYBOAThttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01739143324872304684noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3378270543395403349.post-37258073246739904032007-12-17T16:09:00.000-08:002008-12-10T16:08:27.046-08:00<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiX14TVH_coDypBay2Z-1zpSokgoPPS-ZXweaiuLF9XmlrHQoxfQI9d5NZsFXa9f0-o3cBixgCau06tnemtW6BiqYNZSwzVo1-VIVO1jUnWdrn-7aCDy7V7bQdU-b_kaErs8NUc4ICipZUY/s1600-h/sailplanpt3.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5147913969300426434" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiX14TVH_coDypBay2Z-1zpSokgoPPS-ZXweaiuLF9XmlrHQoxfQI9d5NZsFXa9f0-o3cBixgCau06tnemtW6BiqYNZSwzVo1-VIVO1jUnWdrn-7aCDy7V7bQdU-b_kaErs8NUc4ICipZUY/s320/sailplanpt3.jpg" border="0" /></a><br /><div><span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_0">JOLLYBOAT</span> is Triton hull number 466, built 1965 in Bristol, Rhode Island by Pearson <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_1">Yachts</span>. For decades <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_2">Triton's</span> have been providing sailing adventures and excitement for an ever increasing group of loyal enthusiasts. In 1959 when cousins Clint and Everett barely finished hull number one in time for the New York Boat Show they had no idea that they were <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_3">introducing</span> a new sailboat to the public that was to become a <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_4">legend</span>. Today the Triton continues to captivate the attentions of it's sailors as much or more so than ever. Among the Triton's many firsts it shares a small stage with early fiberglass production boats but gained it's share of the spot light with production numbers that even by <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_5">today's</span> are respectable. Today well over half of the Triton's that were produced continue to sail and many of those are being restored, maintained and upgraded. These pages will be used to further illuminate the <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_6">inherent</span> qualities of the Triton and the care and restoration of Triton 466.</div><br /><div></div>JOLLYBOAThttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01739143324872304684noreply@blogger.com0
