I'm looking forward to seeing how the folks in NC and Annapolis have kept her up. This was my Uncle Ralph's boat. My grandfather built her in 1940 - and my last time aboard was in 1982, summer before I went to boot camp Captain Ralph taught me what work was - and about the value of family boats. I'm really happy that others have appreciated what these bunches of sticks might mean, and have sought to preserve them for the appreciation of future generations. 4 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

SloopJonB 8,048 #12912 Posted May 3, 2020 A lot more appealing than a tiny house. A few years back someone in deep cove did a slightly different take on a ferry lifeboat hull. It was done more African Queen style, trimmed out with a lot of thick, solid teak on top and a lunker diesel - can't remember the brand but it was an old style thumper. It was really nicely done and went dirt cheap. I remember thinking it would have made a fabulous island support boat - maybe for someone on Abode or Passage islands or another private boat access only island.

I have never had that experience- all the tree olives I've encountered, including the green ones we cured, were... astringent. But they were not Italian. You have answered my question. Starting with something that is reasonably edible and moving to preservation makes sense. We have a niece who is quite a bit better off than us financially, and who with her husband just finished a several year project restoring an 18th century villa in Tuscany, complete with olive groves and vineyards. Quite an undertaking, considering the need to keep to historical appearances and also meet seismic standards. We get their olive oil and their wine, both spectacular, every year.

She just danced and the guy who owned her at the time (the name Reynolds rings a bell) could really sail her. I remember an afternoon at anchor at Mission Point in Mission Bay watching her storm into the anchorage under full sail and, just at the last minute before crashing onto the beach, luffing up, dropping anchor, dousing sails and heading below for a cocktail or who knows what, all in less than ten minutes.

That's not Drummer. Wisp is a Two Tonner, Drummer was a 27.5 One Tonner - basically a Ganbare development. The designer and bright finish was all they had in common. The broker is wrong about Wisp being a Davidson design - it's a Peterson, as can be seen at a glance.

Not to mention Hot Pants. My wife says she was sent home from school one day for a skirt that failed to cover her panties when she sat. Given that she was a ballet dancer and track star, I wish I'd been there to see that. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
