Mystere 6.0

This is why he needs one =

One hell of a wipeout!!

Jetski out of control?

OUCH!
Andrew is that your friends boat, the fellow who took his power boat to the camping Island?
There is a complete 6.0 here, good parts boat, but it looks like they let is snow load & crunched the hulls, photo #2 appears to be starboard hull unfortunately.

Here is a literal translation;
Catamaran Mystery 6.0 (2002) for sale
Iphone repair, 4 holes about 12'' x 18''
trailer included
Sailing in good condition
When I was looking for my 6.0XL, I came across a 5.5. on Lake Erie. I was asking about parts availability, & that owner told me of another Mystere that had been caught in the ice & broke 1 hull. I can't remember if it was another 5.5 or a 6.0, or which hull got trashed.
I'll email the fellow & find out...might take a few days, they are making me go back to work after a month off.

Shallow water pitch pole starboard hull hit bottom. I thought everything was fine and started to sail again and a heard a funny sound noticed fiberglass in the water and saw the bow was missing. I was pushing it too hard once again. A costly mistake for sure.

Thanks for the link I will check it out.

That will definitely not buff right out. I hate to say it, but it may be more cost effective to part your boat out and buy one of the many Inter-20s that seem to be for sail.

did you sail it home?

Yes I did, took two sets of beach wheels to get it out of the water.

I took out the drain plug and took off the porthole cover so water could sorta flow through the boat. I'm glade there are large foam blocks in the hulls!

for real? i always thought they were a bit of a joke when i saw them (seemed unlikely to provide much buoyancy)

The broken hull never went all the way underwater, i was also surprised !

just cut away all the debris forward of that bulkhead, seal bulkhead good 'n tight, go sailing....... 😀

were you able to save the nose-cone?

Yes I have it.

That looks repairable to me, certainly easier than finding anyone with a spare hull.

Any Ideas?????? I was just about to ask the same question in the tech help thread.

I just put some pictures in the tech help pic album.

Take a look here. http://www.teamseacats.com/category/composite-works/page/3/ That should give some pointers on getting started. Luckily your damage is so far forward that you don't need to worry about too many loads. I would figure out how to tape your nose cone back to the bow and then repair one side at a time.

Bach,

Good repair advice, but I consult with the manufacturer before attempting this repair. Yes, the bow is far forward, but if you notice in the pictures there is a bulkhead right at the break that carries the bridle wire loads, and those can be quite substantial.

The shape of the mystere bow create loads that caused this to happen before(kiwi Chris did this during a Hogsbreath 100). plus add the loads from tthe spin bridle. If you could glass in some horizontal stringers(trianglular in form, foam wrapped in glass) thru the bulkhead and anchore to the hull or all the way back to the next bulk head(there are about 7 bulkheads in a mystere hull) you could support the bow being reattached.
