Skiff

OK, more humble, but still looks like a nice boat....

In the drawing and the model pictures she looks to have a single outside daggerboard that can be put on both sides and also can serve as a gangway in port . . :idea:

I think she could have an outboard well between the rudder and the skeg, but your current magnificent Honda could be too much of an engine here.

She looks like she also could be rowed well when sitting on the bridgedeck behind the cabin, or sculled when standing in the cockpit, or boomed* using one of the masts.

* I'm not sure ‘‘boomed’’ is the right word in English for this action, please tell.​

Selway Fisher: - 19'6" Lark Dory

 

P.S. - Here's a boat like the one you see in the linked video, Google ‘‘Giethoornse Punter’’ for more info.

BTW, this Giethoornse Punter carries an example of the sprit rig with jib which is a build option on the above Selway Fisher 19'6" Lark Dory, but most don't have a boom.​

poling or punting

Besides poling or sculling, also Venice gondolier one oar rowing, or a Chinese yuloh could be used.

Thanks Yob

The Dutch word is ‘‘punteren’’, so I could have thought of ‘‘punting’’ in English

 

I like the Giethoornse Punter. Swmbo likes it too. If I could find one under 4.8 metres l and under 1.5 metre beam I think it would serve nicely. Throw on a 5 horse(paardekracht) Honda outboard motor and it would be even better. I could keep the same oars and transfer them as needed.

 

I'd appreciate your perspective on my interior arrangement, Angelique.
The intent is my wife feel secure and comfortable.

She'll be joining me in a few weeks, and then I can get HER perspective.

 

Booming works if you are poling with the boom. If you get hit by a boom during a hard tack you might think you got poled. During this election year some of us got polled(homonym).

 

a WHAT nym?

 

Yob, we have "Homo" from Latin and Greek meaning different things . . .

- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -

"Homo" from the Latin noun "homō" (genitive hominis) means "human being" or "man" in the generic sense of "human being, mankind"

For example: like in the Latin "Homo sapiens" which means "man who knows"

- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -

"Homo" from Ancient Greek "ὁμός" means "same"

For example: like in "Homo-sexuality" which is the romantic attraction / sexual attraction / sexual behavior between members of the same sex.

- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -

"Homo" in "homonym" is from Greek and so it means "same"

And so "homonym" means each of two or more words having the same spelling but different meanings and origins.

 

I was just teasing Hoyt.

 

I was just trying to be a smart a$$ . . .

 

BTW, ‘‘a$$’’ with ‘‘ss’’ and ‘‘Homo-sexuality’’ without ‘‘ - ’’ seems to be forbidden words, as they get ‘‘ ********* ’’ here

 

You are smart!

 

Nice cleanup of the fridge, I'm sure she appreciates that . .

 

I just say #@&^%($%?|*! rainy days!

Actually I like the Russian Blin or blini as an epithet.
A friend explained it means pancakes, and since the first few you cook never come out right, blin or blini refers to mistake.
Stub your toe or hammer your thumb, you growl "BLIN"

Friends given name is Blyn. and I'd asked him what it meant.
