She looks like she has a serious speed on the water!
Congratulations!

I also realise that we are in the wrong place with the discussion about compound engine ajustment details.
Lets move to engine stuf.
Piet
Also a large congratulation from here. Panatela looks just great. Please keep us updated on performance data as you measure alonge.
Best regards
Jørgen

Re: building Panatela
Yes Please! I am very interested in such things! boiler pressure, engine cut-off, condenser pressure, wind speed, prop pitch and diameter......we have very similar boats, except my boat is a 6" wider......so I am very curious!
She really does look wonderful Piet. You should be very proud of your efforts. They are well deserved!

Re: building Panatela
Thank you all again, for the kind words.
Dave, she has an:
14X20 prop. Shaft is 1 1/4 inch thick steel.
The boiler can give 185/200 pounds steam a hour. Pressure max 150psi. Fired on paraffine whit a Blackstaff 3 norzel burner whit a work pressure of 10 psi on it.
With a pressure of 110 psi, the engine ( 120 years old Easton&Johnson 1,5+3X3,5 ) runs 456 rev/min ( elektric handheld revelution counter) Vacuum 10/12 hg with a Jabsco pump.
The condensor is 2 times 5/8 ?( 15mm ) copper pipe 4 feet long.
She is doing then 6,4 nm/hour on the GPS navigator
Measuring was two ways ( in the wind and whith the wind, no current )
Wave hight about 1 feet.
Turn around in 3 lengts of the boat. ( port en starboard almost the same )
All the glands are leaking badly, the are fitted whit new gaskets ( cotton and grease ) I want to tightened them slowly.
Reversing??? ( single slip ) well it works.......thats all I want to say about it.
Regards Piet

Re: building Panatela
Dear Dave
Thanks for the tips. I think I shall just go for the moulded beading round the top as you suggest, as I am building up the coaming thickness using ply (My attempts to steam and bend mahogany were rubbish!)
Sorry for the slow response. I did not get time to browse much over the Christmas period.

Pete
