2022 r2ak pedal drive systems.
I haven't added to this blog for a very long time and sadly, don't even own a G-32 anymore, but there are not many resources for someone designing and building a pedal drive system for an R2AK boat, so I'm posting some photos from last year's R2AK.
My attention is mostly focussed on units without right-angle gears. Why?, because these gears can rob something like 5 percent (per gear box) of the meager human output, while chains or belts take something like 1 percent. This means sitting sideways, but why not? Some production units with right-angle gears have not proven very reliable either, but I've only heard stories...
This keelboat system hooked up to the prop shaft (after the engine was removed) and took up most of the cabin. Just getting past it to take a photo was a challenge, but I think it worked okay.
This was a very impressive, efficient system, but I'm not sure why the cranks and big sprocket weren't part of the "leg". The belt in this system would go slack when retracting the leg, but it looked like a well thought-out system. Mounting the unit on a separate beam allowed the cranks to be low (compared to the next system shown).

GC32 Hall of Fame
GC32 International Class Association
The GC32 International Class Association (ICA) was set up to administer, oversee and promote regattas and the other sailing activities of the GC32 one design foiling catamaran internationally.
The GC32 ICA was founded by Laurent Lenne, Flavio Marazzi, Andrew MacPherson and Christian Peer in 2014 with Flavio Marazzi elected President. Christian Scherrer became Class Manager in October 2015, while Simon Delzoppo took over as President in 2017.
The GC32 ICA maintains the one design integrity of the GC32 via its Class Rules and Regulations. While the GC32 is a strict one design, the ICA permits strictly controlled modernisation of the boat. This ensures racing remains competitive and fair, while enabling the GC32 to remain cutting edge, helping to preserve boat resale values.
Changes to the GC32 Class Rules and Regulations are made by voting of the ICA membership at its AGM.
The GC32 ICA monitors and polices the GC32 one design rule via its appointed Class Measurer. It promotes a professional organisational structure for the management, development, execution and promotion of GC32 sailing events worldwide.
The GC32 ICA also offers a forum to GC32 owners for the exchange of information and experience about GC32 foiling catamaran racing.
The GC32 ICA represents its membership when negotiating with third parties, such as federations and authorities like World Sailing.
The GC32 ICA received recognition by World Sailing in 2017, allowing it hold an annual World Championship.

Small boats capsize. Sooner or later you will too!
Thanks to Keith at Towndock.net for catching Alan at the Oriental Boat show with the Mast head Floats!
Usually a small boat capsize is not a big deal and if you've been sailing small boats very long you have probably experienced a capsize or two. You should know (and practice) how to swim around to the centerboard and lever the boat back upright BUT Albert Einstein may have said it best...
“In theory, theory and practice are the same. In practice, they are not.”
Conditions may be much more than you bargained for, your favorite hat may be floating away. Whatever the case if you don't get to the centerboard quickly enough it is quite likely your boat can go "turtle" meaning the mast drops below the waters surface and the boat completely inverts usually making recovery much more difficult in the best case and impossible in the worst. Our boats are perfectly suited to sailing in the shallow and often mucky waters of the Outer Banks but sticking the tops of the masts of any boat in the mud often means a tow is required to get un-stuck if the boat turtles especially when the wind is up. Below, a Core Sound 17 during capsize camp 2019 with mast stuck in the mud required a tow forward to get un-stuck.
Some small boats have enough volume in the mast itself to prevent turtling or at least delay it but few masts are perfectly sealed and water starts to get in making the mast heavy. If the mast fills with water if can be impossible to right a small boat by leveraging the centerboard. What if the centerboard is up? Then what do you do? If you're reading this thinking..."I have no idea". Then we highly recommend you practice a capsize in your small boat at the next available opportunity close to shore in calm water and get some experience before you are caught off guard!
Enter the mast head float! A mast head float is the simplest and best way to make a small boat un-turtle-able and most importantly, make you more self sufficient on the water. W ith a mast head float, you have plenty of time to right the boat without worrying about turtling. Below, the crew holds onto the mizzen mast and the heavier skipper prepares to right the boat. The crew is scooped aboard automatically and can then assist their partner and keep the boat under control. Check out the video here .
When designing a mast head float we apply the same design principles we always do. It must be simple, reliable and light weight. But that isn't quite enough, we also do not want to sacrifice performance. Our design is simple to assemble, very light weight and always points into the wind with a aerodynamic shape to minimize drag as much as possible. It is quickly removed from the top of the mast with a cotter pin.
We were partly inspired by Russel Brown's rebuilt mast float for his G32 catamaran which he sailed in the Race to Alaska. The G32 of course was designed by Jan and Meade Gougeon who have always been a strong advocate of self sufficient sailboat designs that could be recovered from a capsize in any conditions. You can see pictures of that float here . While his float is immaculately built, it requires molds to construct. We wanted a simple to build version suitable for small boats.
We have two sizes available. A 20lb buoyancy float and a 30lb buoyancy float. The 20lb version is suitable for the Core Sound 15 or 17. The 30lb float is suitable for the Core Sound 20. Check out how we make our float kits in this video .
Our glassed and painted 20lb float weighs just over 1lb with a couple ounces of balance weight in the nose.
Pictured above, Graham's 20lb float for Carlita.
Click here for photos of our 20lb Float KIT , See the data sheet here .
Click here for photos of our 30lb Float KIT , See the data sheet here .
Note: All mast head floats are now installed using the new "Side mount Brackets" ( click here for pictures ). The brackets are included in the float kit. They are 3d printed from strong ABS plastic. The mast and float can be removed using the included button pins in the kit. If you need a different mounting solution just contact us and we'd be glad to help.

GC32: A profile of the cat that learned to fly at 30 knots
Matthew Sheahan
August 25, 2015
Conceived as a 32ft one-design racing cat, the GC32 is now on foils and regularly hitting 30 knots. Matthew Sheahan was hooked
First published February 2015.
“Hike her down, guys, and we’ll get her up,” called our helmsman Paul Campbell-James to the five crew of the GC32 Richard Mille . As our backsides slid over the rounded gunwale and our feet took the load on the toestraps, I could feel the power come on.
As the cat accelerated steadily and rose above the water’s surface, the noise of ripples on the carbon hull were replaced by a quiet hum, like an electricity substation, from the foils and rigging. The transition from displacement to flight took just a few seconds and our speed hit 14 knots – in barely six knots of true breeze. At speed in flat water she sliced straight though the wake of a powerboat without missing a beat – a first indication of what was to come.
Given the stress involved in climbing the steep America’s Cup learning curve for the foiling AC72 teams, along with a plethora of spectacular crashes and nosedives in the foiling Moth fleet and the long history of brave attempts and heroic foiling failures elsewhere, there is every reason to feel twitchy about sailing on foils. Yet the racing scene is now learning at an incredible pace as foiling becomes ever more popular.
The GC32 was never designed to foil, but this rapid development in foiling technology and knowledge left her creators in no doubt that this one-design 32ft cat had to fly.
Laurent Lenne, a French entrepreneur based in Amsterdam, was originally looking for a racing cat pitched somewhere between an F18 and an Extreme 40. In 2012 he commissioned multihull expert Martin Fisher to create the GC32 (Great Cup 32) one-design. Originally, she had S foils to reduce displacement, but not to fly.
“When the Kiwis started to foil we knew we had to follow,” he says. “Fortunately, we were working closely with the Flying Phantom guys and C-Class cat builders and were sharing information on designs and sails, which allowed us to go through six iterations of the design in a short space of time.”
“In many ways we now feel safer on foils,” explained crewmember Nick Hutton, who is no stranger to high-performance multihulls. “What we’ve quickly realised is that we have a big reserve, particularly when it comes to burying the bow at the weather mark. The AC45s seem pretty twitchy by comparison.”
As the breeze built and we foiled more readily the GC32 certainly felt very stable at speed. But there were some interesting differences that took a little getting used to.
The first is how quickly heel comes off as the speed increases. Having hiked hard to get her going, you’re sitting upright and inboard before you know it. Then there’s the hobbyhorse heaving motion that sets up as the vertical momentum generated as she accelerates lifts her a little too high initially. With too little foil in the water she then drops down a little to find her equilibrium.
And then there’s the windward heel and the splash that comes with deceleration in a lull as the leeward foil continues to generate lift after the sail plan has reduced power and heeling moment – a strange and unnerving feeling the first few times it happens.
So although the GC32 was never meant to foil, she’s a great example of how rapidly the technology is being embraced – to say nothing of a claimed top speed to date of just under 38 knots. One trip and I’m hooked.

Meade and Jan set out with some very lofty engineering goals: make a fast, light, strong catamaran that can be trailered by a car. Full of innovative ideas and processes, production of the G32 ended after just 14 boats were built.

The G-32 is an innovative 32'catamaran designed and built by the Gougeons in the early 1990s. These production boats feature a water-ballast system, are self-righting, and are trailerable. The masthead float doubles as a wind vane and prevents the boat from going completely upside down if capsized.

What is so different about the G-32 catamaran? It is a road legal (8 1/2′ wide), 32′ long trailerable catamaran. It's the same width as a Hobie 16, yet twice as long. It trades initial stability for efficiency. The boat is very aerodynamic and has incredibly slender hulls, so the tiny rig pushes the boat at competitive speeds.

The G32 was designed and built in the 1990s by the legendary Gougeon Brothers (of West System Epoxy fame) to become a new racing class of towable high performance cats with some very unusual design goals: A 32 ft catamaran that can be towed with a mid-size car or small SUV. That can go from trailer to sailing in 10 minutes.

Cost and grief of ownership must be minimized. The G32 wins there... by light years. The L7 is most likely another very strong contender along with a light waller/jarcat. Fast! The L7 and G32 win there too. Accommodation.. waller/jarcat are strong, the L7 and g32 pass as well in my opinion. Sticker price.

The Gougeon 32, or G32, was designed by Meade and Jan Gougeon, best known for their WEST System epoxy. Meade and Jan set out with some very lofty engineering goals: make a fast, light, strong catamaran that can be trailered by a car. Full of innovative ideas and processes, production of the G32 ended after just 14 boats were built.

The G-32 is an innovative 32'catamaran designed and built by the Gougeons in the early 1990s. These production boats feature a water-ballast system, are self-righting, and are trailerable. The masthead float doubles as a wind vane and prevents the boat from going completely upside down if capsized.
What is so different about the G-32 catamaran? It is a road legal (8 1/2′ wide), 32′ long trailerable catamaran. It's the same width as a Hobie 16, yet twice as long. It trades initial stability for efficiency. The boat is very aerodynamic and has incredibly slender hulls, so the tiny rig pushes the boat at competitive speeds.

The G32 was designed and built in the 1990s by the legendary Gougeon Brothers (of West System Epoxy fame) to become a new racing class of towable high performance cats with some very unusual design goals: A 32 ft catamaran that can be towed with a mid-size car or small SUV. That can go from trailer to sailing in 10 minutes.
Cost and grief of ownership must be minimized. The G32 wins there... by light years. The L7 is most likely another very strong contender along with a light waller/jarcat. Fast! The L7 and G32 win there too. Accommodation.. waller/jarcat are strong, the L7 and g32 pass as well in my opinion. Sticker price.

After watching the promo video of the Gougeon 32 catamaran I have to say that boat is pretty damn clever, and with a PHRF rating of 21, the boat has to be fast as well. ...
