It's mainly a day sailer/weekender. Taking it across the Atlantic would be risky and not much fun. Most purpose built open ocean cruisers that...
I got no answer but will be curious to see if any comes up. I've been around boats and boating a long time also (ok, I've also got 50+ years) and...
That's pretty cool. I know SWATH definitely works. I've poured over everything I could find on Silver Cloud since she showed up here in Abeking's...
I think basically they're unbuildable. I know there are some real naval architects and yacht designers on here so maybe one, or more, of them will...

Wanna bet every time they leave the dock it's under power? With the sails up too to show how "green" they are?
I used to be a State Section Director and Field Investigator for the Mutual UFO Network. Since a large number of UFO reports turn out to be...
Hehe. Well, I just thought if he never heard of a beam sea a litttle enticement might be an acceptable subterfuge.
Fun book to read if you haven't already: http://www.amazon.com/Chapman-Piloting-Seamanship-Small-Handling/dp/1588167445/ref=pd_cp_b_0
