Killer fingernails, though. https://victoria.craigslist.ca/boa/6074001346.html That boat was posted here several months ago...I think he wanted several thousand then. Sorry about that. I didn't realize the photo of the photo was of that particular boat until Norse Horse posted the big version. I figured it was a Cal 20, but I didn't realize it was the version with the sun deck.

zenmasterfred 416 #7810 Posted April 11, 2017 Honestly I don't expect anyone to know about the Boeing sailboat . I think only a handful were built and I'm pretty certain they were not built at the plane factory. Here's my problem: The guys that would know about the boat are dead. But I have one friend, my age, who is a PNW yachting historian. He will know. I'm sure of it. I'll contact him today. Zenmaster Fred might also know. Yupper, definitely looks like one of the Boeing boats and yes, it should be in their museum. Remember, the early airplane frames were wood. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

My grandfather was a patternmaker and worked on Mosquito tailplanes during WW II - I'm pretty sure it was at a Boeing facility here on Sea Island in Richmond. Ahem...that would've been the DE HAVILLAND CANADA plant...if they had one in BC. You sure they were wood framed tailplanes? Some Brit bombers used wooden structures (Wellington, Halifax), but I'm almost positive de Havilland Canada built everything inhouse around their Toronto plants. Boeing built Stearman's as trainers, did he tell you they were for Mosquitoes or just that he built wooden tailplanes? Could've been for airborne gliders, they were really struggling to produce as many as they could, but I don't think Boeing built gliders either... I'm actually really curious. Edit -- Pretty sure I found it, the Boeing plant on Sea Island built Blackburn's. http://www.boeing.ca/boeing-in-canada/history.page The Sea Island plant built PBY Catalina Aircraft for off-shore air patrols, and the middle section of the B-29. Boeing Canada built 362 PBY flying boars and amphibians designed by Consolidated Aircraft of San Diego. They also built 16 British-designed Blackburn Shark torpedo aircraft purchased by the Royal Canadian Air Force... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
SloopJonB 8,296 #7814 Posted April 12, 2017 I know the Mossies were De Havilland but that stuff was built where the facilities were during the war - brand names didn't mean anything. Mossies were entirely laminated plywood. I got the story from my dad because Ed died when I was only 9. You may be right about the "wooden tailplanes" and dad just assumed Mossies.

Commercial Boater 49 #7815 Posted April 12, 2017 Serial craigslist trawler here. When I get home from New Zealand I'm buying a boat, maybe that'll quell the addiction. I find lots of things- saw a sailboat build from a bathtub with PVC outriggers. Had half a mind to email the guy and ask what it rated. I'll see if I can't find it. But for now... For only $10,000, you too can have a 47-year-old bilge keeler with a missing window.

SloopJonB 8,296 #7816 Posted April 12, 2017 Has to be a typo - missed the decimal point. The first boat I bought was the "big" sister to that - the Vivacity 20. Very solidly built and stiff as a porn star's dick but it was about a 1.5 KSB. It would move off the wind in a breeze though - I made it from Silva Bay to the QA in 4 hours once - about a 5 K average. My first experience with some surfing in a keel boat.

zenmasterfred 416 #7863 Posted April 27, 2017 What do you mean, Rimas crossed the same ocean several times w/ tape for water proofing (and perhaps to stiffen up the "chicken". Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
toddster 461 #7864 Posted April 27, 2017 Yeah, my house came as a kit, from Canadia, with a case of red tuck tape. I'm still finding red stains on the cedar, after 17 years. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
DavidBuoy 0 #7865 Posted April 27, 2017 I've never seen a C27 interior like this before. Custom?? Nothing like tuck tape to seal those leaks. https://comoxvalley.craigslist.ca/boa/6100743814.html Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Steam Flyer 5,048 #7866 Posted April 27, 2017 This blue section was it like that from the factory or did some one add this to get head room? It just looks like a after thought at least. Never seen two deck joints on the same boat before https://spokane.craigslist.org/boa/6095915433.html He got the name wrong. http://sailboatdata.com/viewrecord.asp?class_id=4797 That also answers my question. Yes the blue bit with the weird slope was from the factory... That is the ugliest boat I have ever seen, that wasn't a Buccaneer If you want barn-sized accomodations, live in a fucking barn!

Maxx Baqustae 229 #7868 Posted April 27, 2017 "Catalina 30...one of the best racer / cruisers available" https://minneapolis.craigslist.org/hnp/boa/6051121400.html I will say that I have nothing against Catalinas as I have one, but I've never seen a statement like the one above or a C30 fitted out for racing like this one has. It's a little silly to put a ton of money into it as a "race boat". But it happens. There was a guy in our area did the same thing in the 80's. In PHRF he won an awful lot. To the point that some of his competitors that he was cheating. Wasn't well liked either or they were jealous of his success that how a tubby Cat 30 went so well. He was actually protested at one point. He did modify the rudder (a bit) but nothing drastic. There was a huge cry about that. 3 handicappers were involved and at the end of the day they docked him 3 points for the rudder. Didn't matter at the end of the day as he kept on winning anyway. So ya, it can be done as it has a decent general PHRF number. But isn't that how PHRF is supposed to work? Having sailed both versions and the tall version does give you better power in a not full powered up situation. Like 12 knots and down. I think the TR had lee helm which I didn't like much.

Yes I have and outdoor use isn't its strong suit. Also that interior picture really creeps me out. I feel something has happened in that boat that no one should know about Dunno. Just looks like a hole big enough to throw a hot dog down. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

toddster 461 #7884 Posted May 2, 2017 Double post, but this one is too good not to present: 50-foot ferro, anchored somewhere in Mexico. Pictures from 2003. Cash price $6K, but you may not see the boat! It's like "Captain Ron," but without the happy ending? https://seattle.craigslist.org/tac/boa/6112942290.html "...See why I'm not gonna screw around for 8500 bucks? I mean, it's a 50' boat and I have zero reason to even sell it in the first place. But I will if you've got the money and make the deal before I change my mind." "...The float fee at the marina in Mexico is $370 a month and the marina is only a ten minute drive from Loreto International Airport. The cost of a flight is less than 300 bucks one way and you can be there in 6 hours. But, like I said - I'm not about to let someone go down there and pick apart my boat. It's 8500 dollars sight unseen and that is the only way I'm gonna sell it." "...The price is 8500 but if you have 6000 cash today I will sell the boat."
