Some interior finish paint is a morale booster!
That aft compartment gets flotation foam.

A night shoot at the Oakland port last night had me showing fellow crew members the MarineTraffic app when a big ship came in. I scrolled out and said, Hey I know that boat. What the hell are they...

At some point I still intend to make either bateaux.com's "caravelle" from the plans AZsailor went me, or a 15 foot +/- semi-performance rowing boat that I can overnight cruise in the Delta. I'd...

I can see 2 nautical miles into the future!

The boomkin I built almost two years ago is going in a different direction.

A few sailors for an urban mast raising would be most welcome. I will announce the day.

Time to paint it white.7379

For the lifting system, designer suggested adding some cloth from the girder to the chine.

The rudder bolts box. The compartment forward to Bulkhead 6 will be filled with flotation foam.

The mizzen mast tube drains to the centerboard trunk. This is partially below the waterline and will be very hard to reach once the cockpit floor goes down. So I sleeved the acrylic tube with...

I'll need to step the mizzen mast to make sure I get the tube glued in properly. Which means rolling the boat out onto 20th Street at some point.

I hear you Ants. I believe the CG (in board-up haul out mode) will be slightly aft of my main lift points,
so I will build something similar but lighter at the mizzen step.
Also will be good points...

Cleaned up pretty good.

Now for the starboard side.

This was a bit tricky.
In order to single point launch the boat I had to build in the structure to support the pad eyes.
I ran this by the designer and he didn't seem to hate it.

What I saw was Jackie going out singlehanded probably every frickin nice day even if she doesn't post what she saw.

I'm happy to report that after several open-minded and enthusiastic sailors intended to put Starbuck on new paths, including So-Cal, PNW and Race to Alaska, and even a "bulb-erectomy", she will be...
