They are all from the same guy's 'collection'. He's also got a Malcom Brewer built boat that's stove in on one side.

I doubt the CG will get involved.

A guy who does video work for Offcenterharbor.com has an I Boat from Massachusetts' North Shore. I've tried to contact him about it . No response yet.

Better luck next time! Y>

I knew I'd seen that boat before! ;)

She's only 18' hull length but her beam is 8 1/2' and she stands 8 1/2' high on her trailer. Her mast sits another 2' higher than that and is 24' long. These are BIG little boats.

I wouldn't want...

Noah? ;)

Yes, the skill of mastering almost any past-time is satisfying. Thanks for your thoughts everyone.

Archery and flyfishing I can see as calming and demanding of hand-eye coordination, as well as quiet and soothing, but not shooting so much. But I don't do any of them (yet). Maybe some time. I think...

I can see how craftsmanship could be something to appreciate, too, but honest, I'd like to know. Thx.

Is the helmsman steering with a wheel somehow? Very confusing. I wouldn't want to be him. Too much like sailing a coffin. Sorry. Can't see it being very reassuring if things went bad fast.

It sounds like the basic move will be enough of a challenge that adding the boat into it may be too much. If you advertise it in WB maybe you could include a 'shipping allowance' in order to...

Fair enough, but for those who don't go downstairs, it's here now too.

I installed white Azek coamings on an open boat for a customer. It dents about as easily as wood, can be routed, shaped and sawn easily, and holds fastenings okay, but I doubt it would resaw...

I'm relieved someone else found the Rod Stephens 'book' as difficult to read as I did, but some of it it was transcribed verbatim from interviews.

I saw it a couple of years ago on its trailer in Newport at a boat show. Nice boat!

Vestas sailrocket is a recent accomplishment after years of concentrated dedication and refinement, but not so much a recent invention. It is essentially an articulating, sail-powered, three point...

It's probably a single luff spinnaker, an early style, before symmetrical spinnakers.

Fascinating album! Can't help with the requested I.Ds. I've never seen photos taken from the top of the lighthouse like some of these. There was an entire era when development classes were popular...

Reverse clinker isn't absurd, but it is close to trivial regarding your performance objectives.

You're the one who calls the idea crazy and I very much agree with you. Un-serious was the most charitable word I could come up with.

This reminds me of a conversation at a bar my bank-officer older brother had with a Boston Globe reporter in the seventies. A debatable economic theory was circulating about 'cost-push causing rising...

And perhaps if some trashtalkers got enough messages that they've been 'pre-deleted' by others they may 'self-deport' the Forum (to coin a phrase ;)). Not necessarily a bad thing.

How would reverse clinker reduce heeling moment?

From Sailing Anarchy:

Most racing sailors like to compete with a shot at winning.

We all know that winning requires two things – good equipment and time-in-the-boat. My boat needs to be...

I have no problem with an option limiting who can post on a thread you start, as long as some notice appears that reads something like "The thread starter has blocked your contribution to his posts".

I'm guessing the clipper-bowed boat next to Golden Ball is Bob Baker's 'Two Forty', built by The Apprenticeshop. I've got a half model of her that I'm refinishing right now.

See post #8 here:...

Don't be fooled, Mick. You could get a degree from Yale easy. They hand them out like Crackerjack prizes. :>

I looked at that ad. It doesn't seem like there's any place to sit except on the side decks, which doesn't look very comfortable in a daysailer.

Meanwhile, Mickey, did you see (and maybe post)...

Russ,

Search the Register of Woodenboats for Lily. It's the Brays newest acquisition, a lapstrake LFH design #43, the original Prudence, pp.263+ in Sensible Cruising Designs. She'd be something to...

If your compass card is anything like the one shown above the markings are EXTREMELY delicate after a long bathing in alcohol and easily marred when touched. Don't ask how I know this.

I just watched it, too, and was indeed depressing! Hardly any dialog for the actors to remember.
