The Tabur 320 is a one-man dinghy for young people and adults without a trapeze .
history
Tabur Marine 320 (also Tabur 320) have been known since about 1973. The boat was designed as a one-man dinghy with the possibility of up to 2 people and is often used as an entry-level boat for young people. It is still used today as a handy sports and hiking boat in recreational sports. Due to its small size and light weight, the boat is ideal for transporting on the car roof or as an additional load on a trailer. The crack is attributed to the French designer Georges Auzépy-Brenneur , who was also responsible for other popular boat types of the 1970s, such as. B. the Privilège series, was responsible. The boat is similar in size to the better-known boat classes Topper and Europe , but is simpler and less sporty than these.
The then shipyard Tabur Marine Vannes manufactured the boat from around 1972/73 as a double-walled extrusion or deep-drawn form made of polypropylene (PP) or polyethylene (PE) (there are different details about different years of construction, but PE is more likely as the sole material) and ABS (foredeck, rudder blade, sword). The boat was and is widespread in France and can also be found in Germany and the surrounding area.
According to differing statements, around 12,000 units were produced in the 1970s and early 1980s. The exact end of production is currently unknown, but would have to be well before 1990, as there are no more recent boats to be found. Most of the specimens are from the 1970s. Production stopped in 1979 or 1980. Boat numbers around 2900 from 1975 make this seem quite logical.
The hull colors yellow and orange are typical and can still be found today. The foredeck is black and gives the boat an unmistakable look.
The standard scope of delivery included:
- a main sail made of Tergal (polyester fiber from Rhodia AG, Germany) (incl. battens, marked with "T" or "320"),
- an aluminum mast with two plastic cleats and a head pulley,
- a large aluminum boom with fittings for vang and tackle,
- Lummel and floor fittings for vang and large boom (VA and aluminum),
- Großbaumtalje (plain bearing + aluminum carrier),
- Vang block (violin made of aluminum with slide bearing),
- Rudder blade and head fitting made of aluminum,
- Wooden tiller with clamp,
- Riding strap,
- Soil drainage.
Optional were available:
- Foresail + running rigging,
- two jibs for mounting on the curb,
- two curry clips for mounting on the Schrammbord,
- lower shroud fitting (eyelet) for two shrouds without spreaders and a forestay (both attached at approx. 7/8 point),
- pre-assembled standing rigging for shrouds and forestay made of VA rope with a simple tensioner,
- combined want and forestay fitting for the mast,
- Dumping cart,
- Paddle,
- Paddle mounts,
- Tarpaulin,
- Tiller extension.
Most of the fittings and accessories were made from simple to cheap and (apart from the curry clips ) are made of aluminum and plastic.
The entire boat can be unloaded and rigged completely in just under 10 minutes. Since the boat has no engine mount and is only suitable for other water sports (e.g. fishing) to a limited extent without sailing equipment , the lack of a separate class and the only limited high-performance material of the hull should lead to the further disappearance of the boats.
Small boats under the brand name Tabur were sold for a while by the company BIC Sport (also the same company location of Tabur Marine Vannes in the 70s), but the Tabur 320 was not represented. Today this manufacturer is known for the successful boat class O'pen BIC .
hull
The unsinkable round-frame hull consists of two shells welded together at points with a double bottom as well as voluminous hull boxes running through on both sides and a screwed-on foredeck, which also contains the mast guide. The boat consists exclusively of handy parts for plugging and clamping (mast, boom , sword, oar) and has a built-in riding strap behind the sword case. For the rigging, there is a wire loop at the mast foot (for tree vang ) and an eyelet for the boom fitting ( tackle ) behind the sword case. On the starboard side, next to the sword case, there is a floor drain that is not self-draining. A jib eyelet and a curry clip are standard on both sides of the fuselage box. Shroud fixation points are optionally available in the curb and further eyelets in the floor area. The plug-in rudder with a fixed tiller is lowered using a pull line that is attached to a simple clamp on the tiller.
Fittings are attached to the curb or floor by means of screw bolts. The double wall construction only allows this to be done at a few mounting locations.
The sword can be clamped in almost any height through an open sword case and can be adjusted very quickly without tools (one-handed). Lost oars or swords float due to their hollow construction and are therefore not lost in the event of capsizing or an accident.
A particularly smart solution is the self-locking oar fitting, in which the tiller is inserted into the head fitting from the front through the rear handle (for two-person carrying) and thus prevents the oar from climbing out of the pivot fitting on the boat (two eyes with inserted pivot pins) . This means that no additional safety measures are required on the stern fitting, and the boat can be set up or dismantled in a very short time and with just a few simple steps.
Rigging, rigging, sails
Mainly Tabur 320s are found today with non-guyed masts and the original large boom made of aluminum profile. The mast and the boom are slotted and lead the sail over a drawn-in rope in the fore and lower leech. Various owner extensions around shrouds and forestay are also typical , for each of which attachment points are marked in the circumferential curb .
As an option, Tabur 320 with a classic jib , modified main rigging (e.g. crab or gaff) and sometimes very sporty rigging up to 8 m² are used. Typical are either only standard main sails or mainsail + jib. The bracing of the mast with shrouds on both sides and a forestay made of wire was optionally available and apparently was not ordered very often.
The large boom with its front, slotted plastic cap is attached to a simple lout fitting and is held in position by tying the main sail. Sails can only be trimmed to a limited extent using luff tension (can be supplemented with a slight Cunningham pull, but originally only intended as a strap) and vang. All fittings are simple and designed according to the state of the 70s (simple rollers with plain bearings, simple eyes, sheet guides made of aluminum and plastic, cheap shackles without safety devices ...). On the mast there are two cleats for securing the sails below the Lümmel fitting. The vang is held in a simple violin fitting with an integrated clamping notch.
Regatta and races
Currently there is no 320 tabur in regattas (not listed as a class boat). It is also not known for sure whether this type of boat was ever successful as a national class. Individual evidence suggests that the boat was very common in France and that it was ruled out in larger groups in clubs and sailing groups.
