SV Seeker

[George Graves]

Or was the design/build build/design process not completed before launch?

The addition at the top was to get under one bridge.  According to Doug, all the rest of the bridges are tall enough - by 5 feet or so.

That's unusual attack of foresight for our Doug. His usual behavioral pattern would be:

1. install the masts
   
2. have people tell him he won't fit under the bridges
   
3. rage at their negativity and ignore their advice
   
4. get Seeker stuck under a bridge
   
5. rage at people who build bridges so low

No sheetlets. No euphroe. No running rigging at all visible. Obviously a work in progress.

AND THE BATTENS GO AGAINST THE MAST! With padding (I use marine carpet) to reduce chafe & paint damage.

Where's the popcorn...

FKT

Apparently cleats are also an affectation for mamma’s boys.

Oh, of course!  Bull rails.  I totally missed the obvious.

When reality beats your expectations is a rare thing these days.

The seat that is right above the exhaust.  That’s some Doug level work there.

Allis-Chambers.   Early ‘60’s IIRC.   Will ask.   It runs smooth.

The exhaust is on the ground.  Belongs to the Detroit next to tractor.

is that as lethal as an off centre companionway???

I just can't believe this.  He actually put the sails on the wrong sides of the masts!!

Cleats are for people who never leave the dock!  No cleats at the Cape of Good Horn!

You must be new here. It was mandatory to rig that way. You’ll start coming around soon, hopefully before the sinking and salvage.

Or Doug has about anything nautical…
