Nice Welcome Aboard Brief!
Thanks Chris, feel free to use it 😄
Hi Nils,
Great load of information 😀
One question do you have any technical data on the mast and rigging (brand, height, etc)… We are considering to buy a damaged Helia 44 but have been unable to get the specs to see pricing?
Thanks,
Luis
Hi Luis, what year is your Helia. Standard or Evolution?
It’s a 2017 evolution
Luis, I have posted a sail plan for the Helia on the tech library. Apparently they are the same for the Evo. Sheet sizes and dimensions you find in the listed owners manual. I am still waiting to get the details on the tension for the rigging.
FYI, there is a Helia owners group on FB, some good info there as well
Great thanks a lot, this is exactly what we needed 😀
Will look on FB to see also…
BTW: Where are you sailing now?
No Shoes is in charter with Dream Yacht Charter in Croatia, so I only get to see my yacht occasionally, but I can use some of their other boats around the world. Due to COVID, that’s currently Australia.
Also, I have uploaded a mast construction plan as well as rigging tension chart. Still waiting to get hold of the boom construction chart. Hope this helps.
Sorry another question I am imagining that the factory mast is Selden?
No, Z-Spar in France it is. They have an agent in the US
GREAT!!! THIS IS THE DOCS WE NEEDED!!!! 😀
Thanks a lot!!!! We are going to try to get some quotes now… You have been a huge help, I would like to stay in touch and potentially pick your brains a bit more in the future 😉 my email is luisvillanueav42@gmail.com…
Thanks,
Luis
Glad I could help. Spread the word 😆🌞
I just found you. Thank you. So far very helpful.
Hello Nils, great website. Do you have any longitudenal or cross section of the Helia 44 showing collision box in front and bulkheads? Kind regards, Lutz
Hi Lutz,
Thank you. Glad you like the site and fund it helpful. I have been a little quiet during these Covid times due to Zero travel.
Unfortunately, I don’t have what you are after, but let me ask in the Helia owners group on FB
