Thanks
Arrrrgghhh!!! Not my boat. Unless that's a terry cloth shore line.This works, too.View attachment 31733
Besides being a little rough on the hullThis works, too.
Yes, I apologize for any cringing this boat treatment might cause to careful boat owners. In my defense, I have to say I never treat my vehicles or other possessions so roughly, but this type of beach is about all I get for good sailing. (I had had two different dollies, but they are another bother to haul around and use). In 1981 someone in Ireland built this hull like a brick shithouse. I went in and beefed up the mast step, centerboard trunk, and through-Arrrrgghhh!!! Not my boat. Unless that's a terry cloth shore line.
Looks like the Hobie 16 blade we've talked about before.Interesting rudder
Well, up until now the boat has been named "Beastie," but I like "Wabi," too! Yes, that's my '78 FJ40. Now that is something I take care of. Bought it new in 1978, and then when I was picking out a Laser I spotted a blue & white one that matched the Land Cruiser.Watch collectors would call this 'Wabi': The Perfection of Imperfection. I love that 'crash test dummy'-sticker on the hull! Apart from that: this boat goes well with the LandCruiser in the back! Yours? My son's dream combo: an old LC + RIB and boat, trotting along on European roads.
Yes, that blade is from a Hobie 16. A bit of re-shaping at the top so it fits the Laser head. I know it's not legal, but man, I sail in usually heavy wind, and weather helm is a thing of the past.Looks like the Hobie 16 blade we've talked about before.
