Black Panther 1,581 Posted January 10, 2016 Share Posted January 10, 2016 Saw this one coming out of Bon Accord a few days ago, anyone know any more about it? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
wheels 543 Posted January 10, 2016 Share Posted January 10, 2016 That looks very regal. I seem to remember a pic of someone like maybe a US president of many years back being on something like that.Hehe, looks like the builder had nothing but Planks a a hand saw and a straight edge to build her with. Not saying she is ugly though. The small shot of her looks beautiful. Anything more of her BP?? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Tubthumper 0 Posted January 10, 2016 Share Posted January 10, 2016 Sure I saw this at Whangateau a couple of years ago, came in on the high tide, dropped the anchor, waited for the tide, walked ashore. Flat and square. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
The big T 41 Posted January 11, 2016 Share Posted January 11, 2016 saw it up at Kawau and thought that would suit me in my retirement. A great motorsailor with a heap of benefits. Shallow draft Enclosed wheelhouse Heap of room Character Budget special (maybe) Simple systems Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Black Panther 1,581 Posted January 11, 2016 Author Share Posted January 11, 2016 I wonder if it is related to this http://www.tadroberts.ca/services/small-boats/sail/harry226 I liked it. Someone on here once said that speed and comfort are inversely related , i.e. if you are comfortable enough speed becomes unimportant. So I thought a) the guy sitting his wheelhouse sipping a hot coffee in 28 kn looked pretty comfortable while no greyhound it was getting along just fine. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

w44vi 17 Posted January 28, 2016 Share Posted January 28, 2016 I think most people are happy to talk about their boats, especially if they are something a bit different from the norm Take a bottle of rum with you and you should get an invite aboard Quote Link to post Share on other sites
John B 106 Posted January 28, 2016 Share Posted January 28, 2016 Massive scantlings on that boat , I forget the details but really thick bottom planking. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
