Thompson 8-meter

Pocket Rocket r

Readers who prefer a more sedate sailing style should take heart that some sailors are pushing the envelope. Eventually we may see developments from these radical boats that will be of benefit to cruisers, that is, asymmetrical cruising chutes. Also keep in mind that clever designers are managing to develop very fast boats that have forgiving handling characteristics, like the Thompson 8.

Tom Tom Taxi is a Thompson 8-meter (26.4-foot LOA) designed by New Zealander Steve Thompson. The boat was winning a lot of races in Auckland harbor with extremely well-rounded performance. The 8-meter has been so successfull that there is talk of an 8-meter development-style class challenge cup.

The D/L of this design is 82. The 2,464-pound boat has almost a 50 percent ballast to displacement ratio, with all the ballast in a bulb at the end of a vertical, constant-chord Iroko fin. Tom Tom Taxi is dry sailed dinghy style and the keel is pinned in the down position for sailing. The hull shows low wetted surface sections with some flare to the bow sections to help keep the boat dry. Taxi is also sailed with the biggest crewmember forward to help break the spray. The bow sections are fine and sharply veed. This deadrise is faired into a flat bottom at about station 4.3. Freeboard is minimal and the photos show each crewmember making a physical effort to keep the boat flat. We call this "hiking."

The rig shows swept spreaders, with the third set of spreaders at the hounds to support the big masthead chute. There is a retractable bowsprit. If we use the designers figures for main and No. I jib areas, we get a total sail area of 444 square feet, which gives us an SA/D of 38.97. Speeds in excess of 16 knots are commonplace on this boat. The sailing reports all praise the boat's surprising stability and forgiving handling characteristics. On deck you are really looking at a big dinghy. Yes, there are hiking straps. The cockpit well is very wide, with narrow side decks for seating. The deck edge is generously radiussed to make hiking more comfortable. There are two winches for halyard and jib sheet control, along with winches for the spinnaker sheets and runner controls. The rest of the deck gear is strictly dinghy style for lightness.

Construction uses carbon fiber and glass vacuum-bagged over a foam core with a male mold. Auxiliary power is by outboard motor.

I think the answer is to tow your Thompson 8 behind your Little Harbor 60. This way the crew can live and travel in comfort between the races. I'll do all the cooking on the LH 60 and have dinner ready when you return from a wet afternoon hiking your way around the race course. I'll stay busy wiping the dew from the brightwork and planning tomorrow's menu.

Review of Thompson 850

Basic specs..

The hull is made of fibreglass. Generally, a hull made of fibreglass requires only a minimum of maintenance during the sailing season. And outside the sailing season, just bottom cleaning and perhaps anti-fouling painting once a year - a few hours of work, that's all.

The boat equipped with a fractional rig. A fractional rig has smaller headsails which make tacking easier, which is an advantage for cruisers and racers, of course. The downside is that having the wind from behind often requires a genaker or a spinnaker for optimal speed.

DaggerBoard

The Thompson 850 is equipped with a daggerboard keel. A daggerboard is a lifting keel that can be lowered and raised, allowing the boat to enter shallow waters as well.

The keel is made of lead. Compared with iron, lead has the advantage of being 44% heavier, which allows a smaller keel and hence less water resistance and higher speed.

The boat can only enter major marinas as the draft is about 2.34 - 2.44 meter (7.68 - 7.98 ft) dependent on the load. See immersion rate below.

Sailing characteristics

This section covers widely used rules of thumb to describe the sailing characteristics. Please note that even though the calculations are correct, the interpretation of the results might not be valid for extreme boats.

What is Capsize Screening Formula (CSF)?

The capsize screening value for Thompson 850 is 1.97, indicating that this boat could - if evaluated by this formula alone - be accepted to participate in ocean races.

What is Theoretical Maximum Hull Speed?

The theoretical maximal speed of a displacement boat of this length is 7.0 knots. The term "Theoretical Maximum Hull Speed" is widely used even though a boat can sail faster. The term shall be interpreted as above the theoretical speed a great additional power is necessary for a small gain in speed.

The immersion rate is defined as the weight required to sink the boat a certain level. The immersion rate for Thompson 850 is about 131 kg/cm, alternatively 738 lbs/inch. Meaning: if you load 131 kg cargo on the boat then it will sink 1 cm. Alternatively, if you load 738 lbs cargo on the boat it will sink 1 inch.

Sailing statistics

This section is statistical comparison with similar boats of the same category. The basis of the following statistical computations is our unique database with more than 26,000 different boat types and 350,000 data points.

What is Motion Comfort Ratio (MCR)?

What is L/B (Length Beam Ratio)?

What is a Ballast Ratio?

What is Displacement Length Ratio?

What is SA/D (Sail Area Displacement ratio)?

Maintenance

When buying anti-fouling bottom paint, it's nice to know how much to buy. The surface of the wet bottom is about 30m 2 (322 ft 2 ). Based on this, your favourite maritime shop can tell you the quantity you need.

Why we don't judge Thompson Boats:

Some of you have probably noticed the site looks a little different. We have been making some behind the scenes changes around here and I have been told by my web master that is a good thing as we are keep up with technology and all.

I have not been as close to the Dockside website as I should be. The reasons are many but the bottom line is that I do care about the web site and all the folks who visit, comment, and appreciate it.

There is a place on this website called “ ”. It is here that people can advertise their boats for sale. The Boathouse is the place on the Dockside website one can advertise a boat. and the are for just that, views and legit questions about everything that pertains to boats, made by Thompson or otherwise.

I know that the website has been abused by a variety of folks.
I don’t know if those of you who list boats for sale on the Views or Misc sections are trying to get away without paying for an ad or just plain lazy. It doesn’t really matter except that ultimately you are cluttering up sections of the web site that should just be left alone. Those of you who think you are doing everyone a huge public service by reposting ‘Craig’s List‘ ads let me assure you - you’re not. A ‘Craig’s List’ will never be allowed on this website even if paid for.

I would urge all of you who are thinking about wanting to post an ad to get a hold of me. I will work with you. I am not a jerk. If you have a pattern boat or even if is in decent shape and you just want to get rid of it, and you really are giving it away, I will not charge you for the ad. If I tell you an ad is $40.00 and you only have $10.00 then that is what I will charge you. (Now don’t all of you start telling me you only have $10.00 I know better!)

The point here is... we are all adults. I should not have to start combing the website for folks creatively slipping an ad for their boat by phrasing things a certain way... but I am and I will and I will note who those are and if it happens more than once we’ll deal with things then.

In the meantime, we’ll
See you at dockside

AND:

No doubt many of you are wondering what is going on with the . As many of you know, the last published was sent a couple of years ago.

For a variety of reasons, it made more sense to publish the on line than in the printed form many of you received for eleven years. The biggest reason for going on line is that from the very beginning I had always envisioned the as being interactive. For obvious reasons, this was difficult to do in a traditional printed format, but with the vast majority of everyone now having access to being on line, the internet proves to be the perfect vehicle.

The idea here is that anyone can contribute an original article or add to an existing one. Many of you have written to me over the years and after I read your letters I thought wouldn’t it be great for all the subscribers to read this. With space being limited in the there was no way to share what so many of you had written.

In the coming weeks you will be able to write an original piece, be it a restoration article or a story from your childhood recounting those times on the lake. You will also be able to add to an existing article. Check back for updates on how you can contribute.

Back issues in hard copy will still be available for $5.50 each. That list will be available shortly.

Advertising will continue here on the web site. Though the basic charge will be the same as it was in the printed version, the advantage of the on line version will be the option to post more photos. Rates will be published soon.

I look forward to hearing from all of you as we move into the Thompson Dockside.

As usual, you can always email me at:

See you at dockside

Viper 830 is a 27 ′ 8 ″ / 8.4 m monohull sailboat designed by Steve Thompson and built by Viper Raceboats (USA) starting in 1996.

Drawing of Viper 830

Rig and Sails

Auxilary power, accomodations, calculations.

The theoretical maximum speed that a displacement hull can move efficiently through the water is determined by it's waterline length and displacement. It may be unable to reach this speed if the boat is underpowered or heavily loaded, though it may exceed this speed given enough power. Read more.

Classic hull speed formula:

Hull Speed = 1.34 x √LWL

Max Speed/Length ratio = 8.26 ÷ Displacement/Length ratio .311 Hull Speed = Max Speed/Length ratio x √LWL

Sail Area / Displacement Ratio

A measure of the power of the sails relative to the weight of the boat. The higher the number, the higher the performance, but the harder the boat will be to handle. This ratio is a "non-dimensional" value that facilitates comparisons between boats of different types and sizes. Read more.

SA/D = SA ÷ (D ÷ 64) 2/3

  • SA : Sail area in square feet, derived by adding the mainsail area to 100% of the foretriangle area (the lateral area above the deck between the mast and the forestay).
  • D : Displacement in pounds.

Ballast / Displacement Ratio

A measure of the stability of a boat's hull that suggests how well a monohull will stand up to its sails. The ballast displacement ratio indicates how much of the weight of a boat is placed for maximum stability against capsizing and is an indicator of stiffness and resistance to capsize.

Ballast / Displacement * 100

Displacement / Length Ratio

A measure of the weight of the boat relative to it's length at the waterline. The higher a boat’s D/L ratio, the more easily it will carry a load and the more comfortable its motion will be. The lower a boat's ratio is, the less power it takes to drive the boat to its nominal hull speed or beyond. Read more.

D/L = (D ÷ 2240) ÷ (0.01 x LWL)³

  • D: Displacement of the boat in pounds.
  • LWL: Waterline length in feet

Comfort Ratio

This ratio assess how quickly and abruptly a boat’s hull reacts to waves in a significant seaway, these being the elements of a boat’s motion most likely to cause seasickness. Read more.

Comfort ratio = D ÷ (.65 x (.7 LWL + .3 LOA) x Beam 1.33 )

  • D: Displacement of the boat in pounds
  • LOA: Length overall in feet
  • Beam: Width of boat at the widest point in feet

Capsize Screening Formula

This formula attempts to indicate whether a given boat might be too wide and light to readily right itself after being overturned in extreme conditions. Read more.

CSV = Beam ÷ ³√(D / 64)

Spinnaker area: 927 sq. ft.
