Saa-weeet!
Really, why not? I've been to Africa and there are plenty of ATMs there. The hotels and food can also be a lot cheaper. To make a long story...
Frank "Dye," hmm that's kind of foreboding. Kind of ratchets-up the suspense, but I guess he made it then? That whole "dropping the rig in a...
I haven't decided about the where yet. I don't think I'd enjoy wearing a wetsuit. Maybe, Morocco to Spain would be a good run, but not much of a...
Ok, so I can just use the "other" step and reef down.

Let's suppose I had a relatively large expanse of blue-water to cross, say 500 ktm. And, let's say I could make 4 ktm/hour on average, making the...
Ok. I'm thinking, not much more than a stick on an outrigger for an ama. I like the fender on mast idea. What I'd really like to do is keep the...
Twin amas then? The windward one will always be just out of the water. I'm trying to get extra stability, to ocean a boat that wasn't meant for...
This may be the dumbest question ever; but, can I use an outrigger + ama (minimal) on a scow, for extra righting moment, then just reposition it...
So very nice! I had been thinking about tying fenders to the sides underway; but, this is by far a more elegant solution.
For a diy, I think it's going to have to be a scow. I think I could probably draw one, in a pinch. I actually prefer Scow-1, as it's not an open...
I'm with you on the MacGregors. Very high survivability boat!
I suppose it qualifies.
I'm so feeling this!
