This was one of the most rewarding (and frustrating) projects I have ever undertaken. Inspired by another boats wheel and wanting something a little more special that the standard French whipping technique, I opted for coachwhipping - and to make it a little more challenging, I made it a 9 strand 😂 is it perfect? No. But it’s pretty darn close and I’m very proud of it! Will I do it again? Not unless I am paid handsomely 😝 You can figure out how to do this yourself by reading the step by step blog over on our website: https://www.svavocet.com/2026/06/13/how-to-wrap-a-sailboat-wheel/ Don't miss out on upcoming sailing adventures, DIY stories, and equipment reviews!

Launched in the latter years of Kim Holman's short but stellar design career, DICER belongs to a lineage of wholesome and fine cruising ketches he developed with Claude Whisstock. Full specs and story at the link:http://www.sandemanyachtcompany.co.uk/yacht/539/DICER The first, in 1958, was the 38ft LANDFALL for Claude himself who wanted the long keel directional stability and drying out ability he'd been used to in more traditional vessels, but much more beam, and modern comforts. The concept really worked and orders flowed for more like her: the "LANDFALL Ketches", ranging in size from the mid 30s to 44 feet. A contemporary Whisstock’s brochure stated: "...these yachts have become a class by popular demand – being essentially tough, dry cruising boats with easily driven lines and proven ocean-going abilities...” Strong words perhaps, but sisterships have proven all of this with their successful extended cruising. DICER’s current impressive condition results from recent refits under the ownership of an experienced yachting industry professional, leaving her ready and very well equipped for adventuring to warmer waters or simply local pottering. Wherever it is, the glance back from the tender will be one of love for her bold sheer, proud bow, purposeful appearance and cozy cabins.
