Thank you, very excited to sail her! She still needs quite a bit of work. Couple of leaks around stantions. I need to do some research on mast restoration next.
Here is one from a little different perspective. none to close as she needs a bath after a long hard summer of dirt shoes and dirty air in general.
Very pretty, have you sailed her yet? Congratulation on getting her launched!

I hope sail her this weekend. She is next to what I think is a clipper marine 31'. What a difference in design philosophy. You can see why they are popular as liveaboards. I will write about the mast raising adventure soon. The ending is anti-climatic but still might be an encouragement to ask for help for all of you wanting to step your own mast with a tabernacle.
Ewww... {blech} No thankee, not fer me! I guess if it was the *only* boat you could manage to get, that would be OK, but (butt) otherwise, ... WHY??? :confused:Quote:

She looks *nice*... Great job, Josh!
They seem to be designed to the extreme for interior volume.
With the tiny rig and modest keels I would not think that they are good sailing boats. I am actually amazed at how huge the stern is on the clipper.
I certainly would not want to own one. I thought it was kind of neat to have one of the uglyiest boats ever next to one of the prettiest boats ever.
