Furly B is an Allied Built, 42 foot, yawl-rigged sailboat, designed by Sparkman and Stephens. She is available to experienced sailors for bareboat charter on the Maine Coast. Captain/owner Joe McCarty has completed a multi-year refit on Furly B, and she is now sailing the coast of Maine with a new suit of sails, a new 40 hp Yanmar engine, and all new electronics, featuring a Garmin color chart plotter and 4 kW HD radar at the helm. With her keel/centerboard underbody, Furly B is a proven sailboat performer on all points of sail and in various wind strengths, while her board up 4 ft 6 in draft invites gunkholing.

Accomodations

With the head compartment accessed from either the forward cabin or salon, Furly B offers nice privacy for two couples. Quarter and pilot berths offer varied berthing options for larger groups.

The Galley is to port and the large nav station and quarter berth are to stbd. The salon features a settee to port that pulls out to make a single berth. An ell shaped settee to stbd pulls out to form a double berth. Pilot berths are outboard port and stbd. A drop-leaf table seats five plus. Forward of the salon, the head with shower is to stbd. There is a three drawer cabinet and two large hanging lockers off the passageway to port. The forward cabin v-berth makes into a double when desired. There are six drawers for stowage.

The interior is finished in the Herreshoff style with white bulkheads, varnished teak doors, drawers, and trim, and a solid teak sole. Seven opening ports, two overhead hatches with shade/screens, and two large dorade cowls provide a bright and airy cabin. An Aladdin brass oil lamp hangs over the salon table, providing general illumination with ambiance, while eight LED brass swivel lamps serve for reading. The Force 10 LPG cabin heater and cabin fan further enhance comfort.

Galley

U-shaped with deep SS sink, butcher block counter top, large trash locker, and cabinets over and outboard. Hot and cold pressure water. Three burner Force 10 gimbaled stove with oven and broiler, with a safety rail, and a large top-loading box with 12V refrigeration.

Hull, Deck, and Cockpit

“Stars and Stripes” grey-blue topsides with white cove and boot. Black bottom paint. Smooth deck and cabin sides white with light grey non-skid. All refinished in 2009. Teak toe rails, grab rails, and coamings are finished with Z-Spar Captain’s EZ-Care. Double lifelines with gates port and stbd. SS swim ladder at stbd gate. SS bow and stern rails. Simpson-Lawrence 555 2-speed mechanical windlass.

Cockpit is split, with main sheet traveler just forward of helm pedestal. From aft cockpit, helmsman sees chart plotter/radar display mounted in pod on guard with Danforth Constellation compass in binnacle below. Large SS wheel is leather-covered. Cockpit lockers both port and stbd. Forward cockpit features large cockpit locker to port. Over-sized Barient two-speed self-tailing genoa sheet winches are fitted as well as two-speed secondary winches. On the cabin top to stbd is the centerboard pennant winch and a Hall quick-vang is led to a winch to port. The dodger (new in 2009) is fitted with wrap around isinglass panels for full visibility. The “wings” zip out and the center window rolls up for full ventilation.

Keel is fiberglass encapsulated lead with ballasted fiberglass centerboard. Rudder is skeg hung with prop protected in skeg aperture. A line cutter is fitted on shaft forward of prop.

Sails and Rigging

All three primary sails were custom-designed and built by Pope Sails, Rockland, Maine, in 2009. The 130% genoa has a tapered foam luff to improve reefing with its Harken roller furling gear. Its clew is cut high for good visibility to leeward. The mainsail is fully battened and is easily handled with two jiffy reefs and lazy jacks. The mizzen sail is far more powerful than is typical on yawls, as its full battens allow for greater roach. Furly B sails nicely under jib and jigger alone in a breeze, and lazy jacks make the sail easy to furl. A backstay adjuster enables one to tension the jib luff; and a whisker pole to hold the genoa out downwind is at the ready.
