Interesting boats

[Wayfarer]

Having a boat with the second level, in use 365 days a year in all conditions, let me say that real life experience is that windage and stability for us is a non issue
With 4 ft extra beam it would be less again.

But the sleeping up top with plenty of ventilation and no a/c required vs for the rest of you, sleeping in the bowels of the beast with a hot engine for company.....priceless.

My bowels could use some more ventilation for sure.

Topsy Turvy 2020!

Cops came and arrested all persons at a big family gathering where all were smoking pot.

Arrest warrants said nothing about the pot. But rather, about the too many at the gathering.

I guess that is funny??!!

Great looking foreign language speaking couple decided to have crazy, wild SEX!

Gal at firs smirks - akomadoasida!

Guy smiling replies - ftbojmojnodaj!!

Gal winces and mentions - trpokilmtyjid...

Guy angrily says - nondirwelpotail!!

Gal yells while stripping - yuonodotoogoodanyway!!!!

This proves beyond a doubt...

No matter if you actually can't understand what's being said about SEX - You'll always do your best to read it!! - LOL

Face it:

1. Air needed
2. Water needed
3. Food needed
4. Warmth needed

SEX - REQUIRED!

Quite nice.

However... Don't particularly like the pilot station or the stern cushioned seat "platform" with many pillows. Seems the captain is a bit removed from seeing forward of bow... into sea conditions and for docking circumstances.

Looks beautiful underway. Would think range should be more than the mentioned 2000 miles at 10 knot cruise. Liters mentioned calcs out to 26 gallons per hr. Which means, 5,200 usable gallons - keeping a 520 gallon reserve. Wonder what fuel usage is at WOT doing 13 knots mentioned?

A sailboat is heresy, but how about this:

The HC's are very nicely built "go anywhere" boats.

I really like boats with fantails. That one is very nice. The above deck superstructure looks like a house that had additions added that didn't look in keeping with the design.

WWII PT for restoration. Evidentially engines are good and registration up to date.

$200 if the engines pass survey.
plus $200 if the hull passes survey.

Sounds like all the plywood needs to be removed down to the ribs. Replace the necessary ribs and use marine plywood, twice.

Maybe someone will make a mold of a PT boat hull and start producing them. SMILE Presto, you are in the boat building business.

The walk around decks makes the saloon narrower.

Greetings,
Mr. A. I'm no expert BUT I don't think that was ever a PT boat. Best I could find was, they were 70+ feet long.

No trawler, but interesting nonetheless.

Faerings are small craft of Viking origin. We saw one heading south as we were going north near Namu, on BC's central coast. Winds were light, so they were rowing.

We used to say sea kayaking was like car camping because of all the crap you could take along compared to back packing.

With a Faering, you could pack even more and relax on downwind runs with the sail up...well, probably not very relaxing with winds over 20 knots.

I agree RT - But the ad says - PT??? Maybe misprint on length of mistake in measuring...

I like it! That could be a really neat boat for wider canals, gentle rivers, and protected bays and sounds.

Unfortunately I'm no longer under 40 and need to keep those kind of adventure trips to hours, not days.

If it does not come with the torpedos, machine guns and cannon - ferget it! By the way, doesn't look like any PT boat I saw on McHale's Navy and Ernest Borgnine knew PT boats.

It is hard to say from the photos what that supposed PT boat really is. At 60 feet it is much too short. THIS is a real PT boat I rode a year ago in Lake Ponchartrain complete with her V-12 Packards. Do I hear and amen?

All white AT

The AT is special because you don’t see many all white.
And IMO they look grand all white.

In the second picture, with the man as a reference, it looks like the boat draws about 10' of water. Does it draw that much?

Look again
Bottom of keel is at waist height so I would say she draws about what ours does, 7.5ft

Certainly below the waist. Was more curious if you knew the draft or weather the technician was height challenged.

I was guessing 7.5 ft
The Malahide 65 " Sovereign of Malahide" advertised on this forum last week draws 6 1/2 ft on some sites
On his own page he claims 5 1/2 ft

Sovereign’s dimensions (64’/19’6”/5 1/2” draft/25’ bridge clearance)

Technician???
Really???
Sounds flash.

Al,
I remember that boat. Not long ago (but several years) it was medium dark grey.
It has been maybe less than a year ago she was in Anacortes.
Not enough fwd visibility for my taste.
And her wake looks about the same as Willy.

A guy working hard; trying to make a paycheck; probably under appreciated. There were several other terms I could have used, but thought he deserved better.
