Interesting boats

[Hippocampus]

The race boats are well compartmentalized and virtually self rescuing. Crash bulkheads are pretty much standard. Have no opinion about boat in question.

Like grp carbon should have longer service life that those reading this post.

Greetings,
Mr. P. That's an army T-boat. It was reported on in a feature article during the early days of Passagemaker magazine when it was still owned by Bill Parlatore before they became an advertising rag.

Edit: How in the hell can I remember something from 2012 when I can't remember where I left my glasses 30 seconds ago????

2012 you truly cared about that boat, so it left impression on your mind... 30 seconds ago, about glasses... not soo much care, therefore less impression.

As mentioned in the article:

"It’s not a boat or project for everyone, but then again, one-of-a-kinds are like that. They are unique, with tremendous character and depth that just doesn’t come from a production line mold. The same can often be said for the people these boats attract."

I like it!

I think I'm in love. My first vehicle was a '56 splitty. Now it's a catamaran.....

There's one tied up not far from me in Toronto, a boat called Pathfinder. Very handsome.

I clicked on the Passagemaker article but could not see any images. Suggestions? Or are there none?

Is the name of that boat by any chance the "Endeavor"?

"Compass Rose"

"Compass Rose"

Ahhh, that makes sense. She is another Beebe design that was extended about 4.5' in the stern, so about 54.5' long. She was for sale, not sure if she sold or not. Thanks for getting back to me on that!

This is a cool boat.

1998 Vripack Research Vessel 72

Built 1998 at Kuipers Shipyard and designed by Vripack in The Netherlands after the design of the famous DOGGERSBANK series with steel hull and aluminium superstructure. Dimensions are 22.09 x 5.92 x 1.75 m and this beautiful Vripack explorer vessel benefits from an extensive refit refit from 2019 till 2021. Also a full stern hull extension, including a spacious swimming platform, has been added.

Another really cool boat if you are good with wood.

I believe Joel White, of Brooklin Boat Yard is the son of EB White author of Charlottes Web. I purchased my boat that was located at this yard a few years ago, it is well worth the stop if you are in this area of Maine. Brooklin is also home of the Wooden Boat Building School.

1941 Eldredge-McInnis Sardine Carrier Yacht

“Sardine Carriers are the queens of the Maine fishing fleet. These are good sized boats, sixty feet and up in length, and are used to move sardines, or small herring, from the point of capture to the factory where the fish are processed and placed head-to-tail into cans…Many, although by no means all, were double-enders, dictated by the need for easily-driven shapes when both light and loaded. For the same reason, the boats were long and lean, and consequently often very beautiful.” -Joel White, Wood, Water and Light

And just a few more, kinda cool that they have some historic pictures. Awesome workmanship.

1960 was the first year of the Cummins 855 AFAIK.
The listing says it's a 5-cyl 855 which would make it a rare bird.
I wonder what the original plant was. Maybe gasoline?

 

[78puget-trawler]

I love that older style of boat. Look at all that purple heart.

 

[Hippocampus]

Truly a thing of beauty. But….
Long, lean and not stabilized. Might be tacking her to improve comfort. 720g of fuel. Wonder what’s her range? With that LOA berthing would be expensive.

Dave Gerr did a long lean ultra shoal draft woodie. We looked to purchase her but walked. Owning traditional wood is a career. Wood epoxy not any worst then grp except for resale and insurance.

 

[Northern Spy]

She looks a bit under dressed without the mast and boom. They look to be gone forever.

I thought the same thing. That first B&W photo has a nice balanced look to her.

Art, that photo of your 34 looks like it was taken way up the Delta. My old backyard.

Yup... but not too far up. That photo's on a slough in Stockton ["White Slough"... I think is its name], between Paradise Point and King Isle Marinas.

I nose our Tolly up against the nearly sheer-drop edge of an island to throw a small, very light weight aluminum anchor into the tules... and snag it. Then take an FX-23 Fortress mud-anchor in our tow behind runabout and put it out as the rear anchor.

19' +/- deep water at stern for great swimming. Current running through keeps the water fresh [unlike stale water in islands' small bays]. Get to watch skiers and occasionally other boats passing by. By having stern to the wakes [with rubber flappers on exhaust pipes] the passing boats wakes are no problem. Most passing boat captains are cordial and slowed.

We go adventuring in our runabout and to different marinas for restaurant meetings with friends. Often visit The Garlic Brothers inside restaurant and Bobs Egg and Hamburger shack... both at Village West Marina.

Relaxing, Great Fun!!

I used to own the lines drawings from the E.M. sardine carrier “Grayling” which were taken off the hull. It was 80’ of long and lean beauty. Wow, what dreams I had of building here, powered by a single Jimmy

1946 Kotter 1900

The ''Frederika'' is a super beautiful ex- fishing ship which has been converted to a yacht in 2013 and suitable for long stay on board. Has a very cozy teak interior, large kitchen, 2 generators, central kabola heating, new navigation equipment, washer/ dryer, and plenty of storage space. If you are curious and want to view the ship, you can make an appointment, because the ship is at the owner's home.

Mainship 34 no FB

No FB is the "interesting" bit. Here I`ve only seen FB versions, Mainships are not common here but I don`t recall one on TF either. Maybe it went under a low bridge. No, really, it has to be factory.
