That's beautiful. Where was it found? Prints/plans??? BV
Beautiful!! This 1932 beauty is lovely. What's it called? What's its LOA? I was thinking that as a tender it would be perfect. Although I...
Thanks Thanks for the leads so far. My friend and I need to lift whatever we get aboard our low-freeboard sloop so I'm afraid a powered tender...
Well, I guess my irony didn't work in my earlier post. Here's what I was attempting to say in much plainer language. 1) Going faster is almost...
I looked around and couldn't find any better place here to put this question, so here goes: What do people suggest as a tender for a classic...
Fast is good, faster is better.... I read these threads just to "check in" on the progress of the argument. I was stunned by folks saying that...
LOL - Yes, I used to think about how much nicer it was sailing about on the apx 100' Alden schooner I used to drive.... until I had to go out to...
Ramona, I think that the way a boat sits at a mooring, or at anchor, and the way it behaves when moving through the water are really two entirely...
Frosty, We're a long way from Heavy Weather sailing, so I guess this thread has ground to a halt - about time. I have some simple rules for...
Frosty, I never told you - I HATE MARINAS! I love riding at anchor and not hearing the drunks on the dock, the horns honking, and the idiots on...

It's not the ride as much as the way you ride it! Lyndon and CT, I won't go through all the details, but I will buy the latest "Heavy Weather"...
I hate to say it, but the fact that a lot of folks have used a word the wrong way for centuries doesn't make the mis-use correct. Also, which I...
Lyndon, I have indeed read Heavy Weather Sailing. I think the first time I read it was in the mid 1960s when I was a teenager. I looked at the...
Grant, I'm not NA, but I'd hazard a guess that you could use the formula for the fore-n-aft calculation for both directions, with the...
Just read your postings and would ask are all models assuming no spreaders or intermediate shrouds? Also, do they suggest a different calculation...
TD, Let me try to explain. Storm tactics in truly awful weather are typically about avoiding an ugly monster wave. One can read about the...
TW, Perhaps I should give a few more details on what happens with a "board up" vs "down" and also the difference between a dagger board, like...
+1 for the bike analogy - clear simple and obvious - thanks.
While the keel's lateral area certainly inhibits rolling around the horizontal fore/aft axis, in large waves that are attempting to knock the boat...
