I sailed with Esher's grandson. There was a distorted sense of reality on that whole delivery trip. It extended well beyond the bounds of the boat too. I would go off watch and get up 4 hours later and we would be 20 miles further away from our goal than when I went to sleep! There may have been drugs involved...

The Kronecker Delta companionway is there when you need it, and not when you don't.  Or vice versa,

In mathematics, the Kronecker delta (named after Leopold Kronecker) is a function of two variables, usually just non-negative integers. The function is 1 if the variables are equal, and 0 otherwise:

 

 

δ i j = { 0 if  i ≠ j , 1 if  i = j . {\displaystyle \delta _{ij}={\begin{cases}0&{\text{if }}i\neq j,\\1&{\text{if }}i=j.\end{cases}}}

where the Kronecker delta δ_ij is a piecewise function of variables i and j. For example, δ_1 2 = 0, whereas δ_3 3 = 1.

The Kronecker delta appears naturally in many areas of mathematics, physics and engineering, as a means of compactly expressing its definition above.

In linear algebra, the n × n identity matrix I has entries equal to the Kronecker delta:

I i j = δ i j {\displaystyle I_{ij}=\delta _{ij}}

where i and j take the values 1, 2, ..., n, and the inner product of vectors can be written as

a ⋅ b = ∑ i , j = 1 n a i δ i j b j . {\displaystyle \mathbf {a} \cdot \mathbf {b} =\sum _{i,j=1}^{n}a_{i}\delta _{ij}b_{j}.}

The restriction to positive integers is common, but there is no reason it cannot have negative integers as well as positive, or any discrete rational numbers. If i and j above take rational values, then for example

δ ( − 1 ) ( − 3 ) = 0 δ ( − 2 ) ( − 2 ) = 1 δ ( 1 2 ) ( − 3 2 ) = 0 δ ( 5 3 ) ( 5 3 ) = 1. {\displaystyle {\begin{aligned}\delta _{(-1)(-3)}&=0&\qquad \delta _{(-2)(-2)}&=1\\\delta _{\left({\frac {1}{2}}\right)\left(-{\frac {3}{2}}\right)}&=0&\qquad \delta _{\left({\frac {5}{3}}\right)\left({\frac {5}{3}}\right)}&=1.\end{aligned}}}

Schrodinger companionway - its both offset and centered, you just don't know which it is until you try to use it?   Or is it that once you enter it, the rest of the crew on deck can assume you are both sleeping and awake (dead and alive,) but don't know until they go down below to check on you.   But then, the checking crew member now becomes both sleeping and awake and the rest of the crew on deck is now debating that both of you are both sleeping and awake below...  

Sounds like they spent a little too much time in a safety meeting before heading out!

- Stumbling

Scientists break from Safety Meeting to confirm this:

https://gizmodo.com/scientists-save-schrodingers-cat-1835208353

They learn to cheat and detect when the "cat" is alive, thus allowing them to open the box and "remove him live".   Now we need to apply that the companionway so that the folks on deck know when to yell to down below to get the "awake" people back on deck for the sail change!

 Yes. Luckily the cockpit wells are deep and the inset, in-line, symmetric companionways are far from rogue waves and green water!

[Sail4beer 3,414]

I took this pic late last night just before I moved the little boat and broke the hose fitting sticking up out of the pier. 

It took me about 10 minutes to finally locate the main shutoff valve for the dock...there is no one around to ask at 3:30am.

[IStream 3,416]

Also, not a monohull. Once a multi heels too far, all companionways are offset companionways.

Ahhhh

Sorry I didn't check back in on this thread for the past week.

The best answer I can give at the moment is: Facebook.

The rest of the answer fell down Schrodinger's companionway. I join various boating groups pretty indiscriminately and have been trying with pretty good success to convince FB's programming to just show me boats and more boats. I just don't react to anything else and it does seem to notice.

Now, which one was I looking at a week ago? Lots of them.

There is a probably a minimum length, below which an off-set companionway just doesn't work visually. 33 to 35 feet perhaps? (Of course the minimum from a safety standpoint is about 500 feet.)

[Bull City 2,592]

Here is a view of a Mariner 32. Is that a little overly off set to your eye? It is to mine. But then you've got the mizzen to contend with. I suppose you could have two companionways: one for port tack, one for starboard.

So each line goes from the stern of the dinghy, around the piling, and has a weight on the other end? At high tide, the line is fully extended, and as the tide drops, the weight drops?

I see some bull rails on the dinghy dock.

Almost. As the tide drops - the docks and boats go down - the weights go up. Same docks at low water, here.

 

The weights (out of the frame) are nearly to the pulleys attached to the top of the wharf.

"Wooden" boats are tricky. With fresh paint and varnish, they often are the newest looking boats in the harbor. The HAWK looked like a new build at the docks, but also looks dated somehow. 

Sure enough, HAWK isn't new at all. She has local roots. Conveived by Henry Sheel of Rockport Maine in the late 60's, HAWK was drawn by Bill Tripp to compete in the "One Ton" international series of the day.

She had her heyday in the One Ton then was modified to compete in the new IOR rule, which she did all over the world with crew lists that reads like yacht racing history. 

35 trophies and countless awards later, she ended up back in Maine, tired no doubt.

 

An optimistic owner planned to restore her but that was not to be. So she was offered up for free to anyone who could prove a serious intent to restore the boat. 

 

Obviously that person was found and HAWK was just recently restored at the Brooklin Boatyard on the Eggemoggin Reach. 

She'll probably race in a more leisurely manner today in the popular classic boat races around the area.

 

The owner better be a top sailor, she's likely to have a challenging rating.

On the opposite side of my pier, there's a Spækhugger quite similar to that. I'll try to grab a picture of it later today.

Oh well, "later today". I went out on a weekend cruise and forgot about it, but here it is. 

I'm not sure if it's with a spade rudder or skeg hung rudder, definitely not a hung rudder like on the earlier posted picture. I'll have to ask the owner, when I see him again. The first production Spækhuggers had a spade rudder, but that quite early got changed to a skeg hung rudder because of design/construction issues. About 300 were built.

What's worse than an offset companionway?

A catboat with TWO of them?

She reminds me a bit of the Marsvin.
