    Trition

    Yea,I remember when this article when it came out ,I think I still have it somewhere.This guy spent alot of money for a day sailer.The original artical listed his budget,all the work was done by a yard so he had alot of labor cost.

    That's what I keep telling myself.

    I do like a big flag. My regular flag is 30" long.

    The 4 foot flag is for Memorial Day and the 4th of July

    C'Pete,

    Do you think I can still cash in on this daysailor craze? We've got this old Pearson Ensign that I want to 'redo'.

    Ultimately I'll have to let her go because we've been rezoned here and a makeshift boat yard doesn't fit in with the planning comminsion's goal. (bunch of facist pinko's) Until then I'll pay their paltry fines to satiate their desires.

    But, if I could get another five to seven years out of this 'wave' I'm thinking we could make good on that 'free' ensign. Well, not really make any money at it, but, we could have a good time doing it

    You in?

    no commanders were endangered in writting this post

    Two more

    C'Pete:

    I saw two more blue-hulled day sailers at the Annapolis Boat Show, a Bruckmann and an Alerion Express 38. (Sorry, I'm not as good as you at posting photos.) Nothing like originality, eh.

    Nice!

    That would be considered a daysailer, back in the old days

    Let's see...what else do we have

    Wow!!

    This makes the Holder 14 in my garage seem -- well, inexpensive.

    Definitely a knockmeout knockabout!
    Like to see her with her dress on!

    Who was it that said when asked about standing headroom
    'You don't stand up in a cadilac.' Or a RollsRoyce either.
    Every gentleman's dayboat has a bit of varnish up top,
    a place for the hamper,
    and a bit of plumbing at the foot of the mast.
