12 metre 656 Posted March 2, 2019 Share Posted March 2, 2019 On 2/23/2019 at 6:47 PM, Ishmael said: Who is going to pony up the next boat? There are many "free boats" to choose from. Any number of them being up the Fraser, but they can be towed out to sea and left to drift. Imagine how much provisioning Rimas could do with a ferrocement 45'er. He could load the fucker up with wet oats and Unnatural Geographic to his heart's content and still have room for a chart of Cape Horn. Yes, there is about a 30 foot FC boat on the hard for many years at our marina up the Fraser that is up for demolition. I think it even comes sans rig , sails, and motor IIRC.. Just pay to have her splashed (which may be asking too much). Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Plenty of room for life rings, slung fish, intact bulwarks, senior citizen height cockpit coaming, room to grow veggies on the roof, an outboard to wash overboard, an empty engine bay to stuff with oats, lovely green cabin accents and no need to caulk any windows.
