Hallo
well yachts are nice and sexy
a 51 schooner takes
a livetime and a forest to build.

beside buehlers Archie
is there anyting like that
workboat style, uggly sailing

In Watercraft March/April 2001

is a 200 year old
east coast smack
BODICEA
displacing 11 tons

she draws 4.6
beams 10 and runs LOA 30
but a flat transom
outside steering.
Simple
maybe uggly
but sails like on rails.

She stand upright at low tide
on a keel drawn with a ruler

something like
this beside archie
with nice lines

43 to 45

who knows about

sry for my
lousy haiku style english

typing as it flows
fast like the wind
and a strarge keybord
Ronald, Baerbel and Julien
An European mix like
Heinz,...56 varieties

hey, Mr. Guy, what about an EU fishing boat that's been bought out of service? See the link below. Many have been destroyed already, but maybe something is still kicking around. I understand that many of the designs were quite similar to older North Sea sailing vessels.
