Where did we go wrong?

IntrepiDos

Here is a not too ugly photo Intrepidos after I faired new fiberglass stern, but not much else modified in this photo.

 

I like my camping - right with you on the cockpit tent, Viking.

My galley is a primus stove



in one Lazarette, a 20 litre water carrier in the other. There is a washing up bowl under one of the bunks. Head is a bucket under the companion way. Can't bear the chemical toilet that came with the wee boat.

I'm thinking of adding a cob bbq to broaden the culinary possibilities, but it would have to be darn good to merit the space it would take up - the boat is only 16 ft.
Anyone used one?

 

Yup -- don't find many deer when i'm hunting seals on the sea ice (the territory generally yields the associated game( animal) In keeping with the thread on galleys and cooking-- Has anyone ever eaten a nice roast of seal all prepared with onions/garlic and a tomato sauce--dam tasty a cross between fish and pork with 10 times the omega of salmon/herring.(i'm not talking a garbage eating harbour seal here, i'm talking a northern drift ice habitant)

 

A perfect boat, Viking North?

One of my fantasy boats:

came up in another thread recently.(Nice old English Nobby.)

Only problems being

1) I couldn't afford to run it.
2)I haven't time to maintain it.
3)I'm not a good enough sailor to sail it
4)Its already sold.

But
check out the galley, heads and bunks in the cockpit! the cabin is barely more luxurious, but does have a stove.

Perfect!

 

Never ate seal, but pickled herring is my favorite. Who is it eats the rotted shark? Icelanders?

 

Ok I can see your general plan there YoBarnicle-- coming together nicely-That wheelhouse was a nice addition. You might want to add a little extra ballast to counteract that extra top hamper. Pickled herring -- good stuff especially with a piece of homemade bread and a strong cup of tea. ( I mean two bags per 1 1/2 cup) we Newfoundlanders like our tea strong) Rotted shark ??? do you mean shark thats past it's best before date ???

 

Ooh don't get started on double meanings -

I've been biting my lip about Bostons 'extended trip up the inside passage...' backatcha!

Not tried seal ever, but we have a favourite tea - a salad based on Bacalhau, but as salt cod is virtually impossible to get in Yorkshire, my version builds as follows:

thin sliced raw spanish onion,
thin sliced tomatoes,
thin sliced raw undyed smoked haddock,
lime juice (to cook/oxidise the fish, but I don't leave it any longer than it takes to finish the dish, I prefer the more raw texture)
lime zest,
lots of really good olive oil,
salt flakes,
fresh ground black pepper,
fresh basil,
eaten with crusty baguette or a very high baked loaf,
washed down with chilly cava.

Tiny Turnip -- nice looking too basic for me craft-- and thanks for posting the photos- finally i have knowledge of my stove i have for sale on "Marketplace" on this forum. I think I have the identical stove. Can you have a look and give me a little extra info on it. Spare parts available/what type of fuel/ approx cost and is it still popular. Shortage of Salt Cod, christ did you guys eat those millions and millions of tons we sent over from the Island Colony between years 1400 and present time. PM me your address and I'll ship you some.---Geo.

 

Albin 25

My Albin 25 was built 1972 in Sweden for the North Sea. Excellent Stability. While I have done a lot of mods, I have been carefull to keep weights low. Here is a cutaway of what she looked like 40 years ago when new.

 

- I've got a spares supplier and a comprehensive model list. Runs on paraffin vapour, usually with a methylated spirit preheat. Gotta dash. i'll dig out some more primus stuff later - I'm a bit of a nerd on them, I'm afraid!

 

Looks like an able craft--Sorry i misread you former post on your mods. I thought you added the entire wheelhouse/hard dodger but you in effect just extended it's roof --so no biggy there weight wise.

 

I'm going to un-retire temporarily. I have been offered a job accompanying two lift boats on a heavy lift ship from New Orleans to Nigeria. About a months work, loading them on, crossing Atlantic, offloading at destination. Pays enough to complete IntrepiDos project. Maybe I'll have her finished this coming summer.

 

Know that walk in the woods--I basically have been doing the same over the past 5 yrs. to pay for the toys but this yeat cut the work by 75% and am now concentrating on completing the boat. I have all the machinery/fittings/materials, actually more than i need, it's just time to get at it, but it's looking good on that front this year---Geo.

 

trailer

Do you plan to trailer your boat when finished? I need to buy a nice road trailer. I built a work trailer for moving to launch ramp and storage yard, but don't trust it for freeway speeds.
