ROMANZA - lines plan
Details
ROMANZA - lines plan. Lines plan only, 11.5 kg, 0.7 m2 sail area - VPP
A revised hull form tuned to give a design that will compete across the wind speed range with the best existing designs in this class i.e. RENAISSANCE and ROCOCO providing it is built to the same standard. In fact the VPP has shown these designs are exceptionally difficult to beat across the range of headings and wind speeds. This is part of the reason why this is the first design in the class we have released since 1996. Sections shown full size. Other lines shown at half size. Frame sizes are given for 3.5 mm thick planks. Make fin and rudder as shown on the MONARCH plan or use moulded items as below for best results.
Other SAILSetc products that will be required to complete the hull to the highest standard:
- Fin box moulding - 350G or the carbon trunking to be used with 370-6M
- Fin system - 370-6M
- Rudder moulding - 365-BLADE
- Ballast casting - 200-6M-9kg
- Ballast/fin/hull connection - INS-080
If you are unfamiliar with the construction of a 6 Metre and do not have sufficient information provided by a lines plan only, then a construction plan from this or another class will provide a lot of the information you need. The NIMBUS iii plan is the best source of this information we can recommend - source it from Traplet Publications.

Electronic files
Our plans are not made as CAD files but are a combination of printed output from the Maxsurf hull design program that is used to create the 3D shape and pen and ink addition of information about the appendages and rig. For this reason we cannot send an electronic version of the plan. However we are able to send dxf or iges files, 2D or 3D, output from the Maxsurf program. The 2D files may be of the plan view, the profile view, or the sections. The section view may also show the sections reduced by a 'planking' thickness. If you will be using planking as the method of construction it is important to estimate the planking thickness after the fairing and finishing process has been completed. If you are intending to use the files for creation of CNC machined parts it will be important to specify the spacing of the waterlines, buttock lines and sections.
