Review of Timpenny 670

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.

The Timpenny 670 is equipped with a swing keel. A swing keel is a pivoting lifting keel, allowing to sail both coastal and inland waters.

The boat can sail close to the beach as the draft is just 0.25 - 0.35 meter (0.82 - 1.12 ft) dependent of 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 Timpenny 670 is 2.34, indicating that this boat would not 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 6.0 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 Timpenny 670 is about 91 kg/cm, alternatively 509 lbs/inch. Meaning: if you load 91 kg cargo on the boat then it will sink 1 cm. Alternatively, if you load 509 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?

SA/D (Sail Area Displacement ratio) Indicates how fast the boat is in light wind: - Cruising Boats have ratios 10-15 - Cruiser-Racers have ratios 16-20 - Racers have ratios above 20 - High-Performance Racers have ratios above 24 Sail-area/displacement ratio (SA/D ratio): 22.04

Maintenance

When buying anti-fouling bottom paint, it's nice to know how much to buy. The surface of the wet bottom is about 16m 2 (172 ft 2 ). Based on this, your favourite maritime shop can tell you the quantity you need.

Timpenny History

The Timpenny 670 was designed by Colin Thorne. Colin started designing boats at the tender age of 5! In fact he still has his first designed boat. Fran & Colin Thorne decided to build their own boat as they could not afford a production boat. The cheapest was about twice their budget and both Fran & Colin were unhappy with the safety features (or lack of) especially after an incident on another type of boat. Colin was also unhappy with the current rigs of available trailer sailers.

While working on his new creation (out of wood) Colins kids were jumping on the roof which was making a very satisfying booming noise. Deafened Colin yelled out - "Stop, it sounds like an out of control Tympani section". Since the kids names were Tim & Penny, the name Timpenny stuck and the boat was born!

After launching the boat, people kept asking where they could buy one. Colin and Fran decided to start making them. They were so popular that they needed boat builder Jon Simonds to come to the rescue to keep up with demand and he still has the business name Timpenny Yachts. As they say - the rest is history. Improvements to rigs continued and slding hatches and pop top versions were soon developed. Early versions had rotating masts,

a design feature not seen until much later on modern yachts and performance skiffs and dinghies. The boat's relatively light weight and sleek, hydrodynamically efficient hull design made the boat a flyer even though it had smaller sails than its counterparts. Even today the hull shape looks comparatively modern.

Thereafter Colin designed the larger Timpenny 770. The 770 was designed for extended cruising with a larger cabin and more headroom and a seperate toilet. Early models were swing keels only with a small self tacking jib. A Genoa was added to the sail wardrobe to improve the boats winward performance in very light airs. However in the early 80's Colin redesigned the boat and changed the building method to the now commonly used foam sandwhich construction which lightened the boat approximatley two hundred kilos. An improved rig and larger sail wardrobe was added and a thicker drop keel (to stop the water flow stalling) with lower ballast improved the hydrodynamics considerably. This made the 770 much easier to plane downwind (and hence upped the CBH on the drop keel version). In one Marlay point race Colin and John Simonds were able to record a consistent 9 knots over about 12 Nautical miles!

Colin recalled his design innovations in a recent discussion on the quicker 770 drop keel....

"The reason is lighter weight, larger plain sail area, a keel designed for a genoa and the extra stability from lower ballast.  I had a pretty flexible mast and  was able to do the Julian Bethwaite thing (I did not recognise it at the time) of having very high luff tensions at setup so that until the tension built up to the preset value the mast pretty well stayed put, but above that flattened off.  From memory this gained over a minute a mile to windward, though as I say at the time I did not understand the mechanism, just knew it worked."
