Construction/Mechanical
Iwalani means "Heavenly Sea Bird" in Hawaiian.

Iwalani’s builder, Philip Shelton, has had over 30 years of boat building experience. He learned his trade in the time-honored tradition of apprenticeship to his grandfather. Philip taught boat building at the Main Maritime Museum for over ten years. He has designed and built many boats from the ninety-foot schooner, “Quinipiak” to small duck boats for New York’s sportsmen. He also designed and built the largest rotating Globe for Delorme Mapping in Yarmouth Maine.


The gaff-rigged mainsail was the rig of choice for a circumnavigation. The sail could be “scandalized” in an emergency, reducing sail area by half. Downhauls on he peak and throat allowed the sail to be lowered easily and there were no winch handles to fall overboard. A gaff is preferable to a Bermuda rig for most offshore conditions. The small triangular head of the Marconi was the only thing catching the wind when the boat was in the trough of a wave. With a gaff, the peak allowed the sail to stay filled, with the result that there was less rolling. The disadvantage was they do not go to windward as well as a Marconi.

Dead eyes and lanyards were preferable to turnbuckles because they were not subject to fatigue. The rope lanyards give with the movement of the rigging. And it was easy to see their condition with the naked eye. Turnbuckles need high tech equipment to expose their weakness.

Iwalani’s jibs are hanked on with downhauls at each pinrail. Each sail can be lowered and raised by one person, at any time during the very worst weather day or night.


Hull
The hull is based on a George Buehler design. The keel is Douglas fir 12 inches x 12 inches and about 36 feet long. The floor timbers are Douglas fir. They are three and a half inches thick and 10 inches high on 2 foot centers. They are fastened with one three quarter inch bolt to the keel and 3 one half inch galvanized bolts to the frames on each side. The frames and bottom planking are 2" x 6" yellow pine fastened together with 4" #18 galvanized flat head wood screws. The chine is 3"x 6" oak bolted to the frames with 3/4" bolts. The top and bottom frames are joined together with 1" plywood, on the forward and aft faces, through bolted with 3/8" galvanized bolts. The bottom planking is 2” Southern Yellow Pine fastened with 3 ½” #18 galvanized wood screws. The side planking is 1 ½” Southern Yellow Pine fastened with 3” #14 bronze wood screws. The deck and cabin top are two layers of 3/4" plywood. The bottom layer is MDO (medium density overlay) board used for exterior signs and the top layer is exterior grade plywood with the good side up. Both layers are fastened through to the deck beams with 3 1/2" galvanized screws. The layers themselves are fastened together between deck beams with 1 3/8" galvanized sheet rock screws, and covered with dynel and epoxy. The interior is pine bead board over 3/4" plywood.

Ballast
12 inch x 30 inch by 22 feet of concrete (Portland cement, sand and stone 1:2:3 ) and railroad track weighing approx. 12,000 lbs. The railroad track is trapped between pairs of keel bolts.

Electrical CHARGING SYSTEM 160 amp AmpTech alternator. It can be switched to charge separate banks of batteries. It is important to remember that many alternator outputs are rated for high rpms. That means that with low amp alternators you have to run the engine at high rpms to get high amperage to the charging system. New alternator in 2005. Wind Baron 60 inch diameter three bladed wind generator which puts out 60 amps max and is rated for 90 knots of wind. This system can also be switched to charge two separate banks of batteries. BATTERIES 4-8D Life Line AGM (absorbed glass mat) for a total of 1,020 amp hours which are divided into two separate banks. These batteries are the latest technology and are used on Jet aircraft. They do not vent, so can be mounted in any position. Under extreme testing, they could not be made to explode. Unlike Gel cells, they take a charge like normal lead acid batteries (fast). They also do not self-discharge. 2 were replaced in 2006.

Deck Main Mast 9" dia. 42' long made up of 6 - 1 inch laminations of Douglas Fir glued with West Epoxy. Scarfs in the laminations are 12" long. The laminations were coated with epoxy resin and then immediately covered with a mixture of epoxy and linen fiber spread with a 3/16" notched trowel. Then they were clamped together every 12". Once shaped and sanded, they were coated with 12 coats of spar varnish. Spars 1 1/2 inch laminations of Douglas Fir with the same treatment as the mast. Rigging Hardware Custom designed hot dipped galvanized steel, fabricated by a local blacksmith Gerry Galuza and Fournier Steel Fabrication. Rigging Wire 1x19 3/8" 316 stainless steel standing rigging. 7x19 3/8" 302/304 stainless steel running backstays. Sta-Lok terminal ends. Running Rigging Blocks Hand made rope stropped locust blocks. The sheaves are from A. Dauphinee in Nova Scotia. Lines Sheets and halyards 5/8" and 1/2" three strand Spun Dacron. Sails Five sails: main, staysail, jib, outer jib, topsail. They total about 1,000 square feet of 10 oz. Dacron and were made by Lee Sails. Jib was replaced in 2006 made by North Sails.
