Commander #65 "Lucky Dawg"

The tall one: holder for a roll of paper towels?

I've seen a system like that for plates on the left and coffee cups on the right (handles fit in the slot).

Thanks for the thoughts, but too skinny for paper towels, and without coffee or much food consumed onboard... this spot may turn into a hatch-board storage site.

We've had an incredibly warm fall so far. Denial only lasts so long on the Great lakes. Below on the water last week... and what is soon to come...

(possible that no one besides me wants to see 48 pictures of Lucky Dawg )

Really nice!!!
Series shots always tell a story..
so I got sail around you too and check out her angles wide and tall....
try and figure out what make of boat she is from her numbers. McAlbirg?

Great side-on shots seem to stretch LD into a longer day sailor. Couple shots she's at least thirty feet...

Commanders have elegant lines and proportions.
Wholly apart from an Ariel.
You just have to focus on those amazing macho mahogany coamings. And that long comfortable cockpit run aft of the cabin. With that lucky dawg sitting at the tiller. Equal to any six figure martini scow. A beautiful sailboat.

Thanks Man. She's brought us a lot of joy this season.

The sails don't give a clue re her origins, do they? When I get new sails, they'll look like below - not that anyone knows that Commander logo... I toyed with the idea of the Pearson logo, but I think she deserves to be set apart. Carl gets compliments on her every time I take her out. Usually preceeded by "What IS that boat?? She's beautiful!"

We're a smart bunch with lovely boats.
