Gradnja jedrilice DRACO započeta je 2010. a završena 2014. godine
Posljednjih 5 godina proveo sam svaki slobodni trenutak u projektiranju ili izvedbi nekog dijela ove jedrilica koja mi je postala opsesija. Konačno, trud se isplatio i ove godine je zaplovila.
Last 5 years I spend every free moment in designing or manufacturing some part of this sailboat wich become my obsession. At last, the effort has payed off and this year DRACO finaly sailed.
Fotografije su snimljene na srednjem Jadranu i to iz velike daljine na relativno malo vjetra. Ipak, brod je pokazao svoju ćud i mogao sam isprobati jedra, natrimati jarbol, ustanoviti maksimalni nagib, zapravo isprobati sve što mi je jedreći palo na pamet.
Photographs were taken on the middle mediterranean sea and from a quite distance with a low wind. However, the boat reveal his character and I could tryout sails, trim the rigging and the mast, appoint maximmum inclining, actualy try out everything what crossed my mind.
Gradnja je dokumentirana na više od 1000 fotografija snimljenih tijekom 4 godine. Od samog početka izrade rebara i nabave materijala pa do završnih lakiranja i ugradnje instrumenata. Naravno, nisu sve fotografije objavljene, ali može se steći dobar uvid u opseg, kvalitetu i način gradnje.
Building DRACO is documented on more than 1000 photographs taken in last 4 years. From the beginning of laminating frames and acquisition of materials, to the last varnishing and installing instruments. Of course, not all photographs are published, but you can get quite a impression in volume, quality and methods of the build.
Na ovom projektu uglavnom su radila dva izvođača, no povremeno i za neke dijelove bilo je potrebno angažirati vanjske suradnike i dobavljače. Ovdje im želim zahvaliti na svakoj pomoći koju su mi pružili da bi ovaj brod ipak zaplovio.
On this project mostly worked just two builders, but sometimes was necessary to engage outside associates and providers. Here I would like to thank everybody on their help that they gave me, for this sailboat finaly floating.
Jednominutni isječak jedrenje po Brguljskom zaljevu na 10 čv. vjetra. Brzina broda bila je oko 6 mil. Tramontana.
One minute video showing sailing in Brgulje bay on 10 knots of wind. Speed of the boat was mostly 6 Knots – upwind. (NW wind)
Jednominutni isječak jedrenje po Brguljskom zaljevu na 8-10 čv. vjetra. Brzina broda bila je oko 5-6 mil. Jugo.
One minute video showing sailing in Brgulje bay on 8-10 knots of wind. Speed of the boat was mostly 5-6 Knots – upwind. (SW wind)
