Clapped out or not, they would make it work somehow.

Seems cheap to me, albeit I really have no idea what I'm talking about... just a couch potato perspective.

I'm sure there are some Nigerian princes who would be happy to finance such a deal ...

The potted plant is a deal maker (SARCASM INTENDED)  for me.  

Just thing, one more thing I have to worry about taking care off.  I suppose since the “Kitchen” is so close, I suppose I could draw some water from the “GALLEY” to keep the plant going.

Wonderful Canadian classic Sparkman & Stephens Design 26 ft sailboat with oversized standing rigging and 5'-11" headroom. She can maintain control in extreme weather with her barn door rudder and skeg. This is a project boat. Has full compliment of hank on head sails. She has not seen water since 1994. likely needs engine, extensive fiberglass work, new interior etc. To move will require work to dig tires out of soil. Great boat for someone with the time, resources and shop space to return her to the sea.

It was a cruised up version of the North Star 500 QT.

They raised the sheer a bunch to get headroom.

The Northstar 26 was my Dad's first boat and he raced on a 500.  At best it could be described as 'bulbous'.  Fairly roomy for the day with a ton of tumblehome.

Thought they were originally a MORC boat tweaked for IOR 1/4 Tonner when that became popular?  There are still plenty sailing around the Great Lakes, built like tanks with a solid hull if the PO hasn't poked too many holes in the cored deck.

At least it has a life raft.

[Breamerly 74]

That vessel, not just the class, actually has a relatively detailed Wikipedia page with a few interesting details....

... including reference to what might be a wee bit of a problem for excited dreamers salivating at the thought of water skiing behind their floating home at 48 miles per hour.

 

Apparently the phrase "0 hours' actually means then it has no engine, because the original turbine exploded in 1982. The cost of repair was so high that it was decommissioned and sold to a private party, who never completed the restoration.

 

Someone later took it over to turn into a floating museum. To what is unclear, since it only ever saw service as a test vessel for first the Navy, then the coast guard, both of whom evidently decided they weren't terribly interested in further experimentation. The USS Arizona it ain't.

It's in Florida but you're right, doesn't look to sun damaged. Maybe it was recently brought down from Ketchican Alaska? Or amybe it's ben in the shade of that tree all it's life?

Florida again, I assume that the firewood is not a desirable market commodity. But it gives me thought.... if you have a tree you want removed from your yard, can you lay it across a boat and advertise the boat for sale?

Less amplitude, but shorter period. If you've ever watched a metronome, you know that moving the weight up (toward the top of the swing arm) gives a larger swing, but a much slower one (lento, largo); move the weight down toward the pivot point, the swing is short and sharp (presto, allegro). A keel gives lots of weight but on a short arm -- very jerky and twitchy. A tall mast, even tho light, dampens the twitch.

[SloopJonB 7,949]

Even with the mast a sailboat can roll you sick with no sail up.

I usually leave the main up when motoring - much better motion. That's the reason trawlers have steadying sails.

A sailboat rolls more than a rowboat. As you say, whether removing the ballast helps depends on the hull shape.

Well the only place that would get wet would be inland lakes & canals, and I don't think it was build with the Great Lakes in mind.  Puttering through inland canals or Northern Ontario cottage country lakes seems to be it's designed objective.

With all the boats out there that are actually nice, I can't believe anybody would accept one of these for free much less buy one.

Not only a "live-aboard", but apparently the there's a spot where the "main sail connects to the cabin".  At last, someone has figured out how to do away with that nasty boom.
