How do those light schooner heave-to?



Upside down!


Very funny, ahaha.

FOr reference: http://www.ace.net.au/schooner/tipsreef.htm#start

Flying Tadpole II is semi-derelict at this stage, needs a
complete workover and I don't have time. Will probably sell
as is where is for $2000. Worth it for the sails alone.



Sorry to hear that Taddy.
Where is she now, would the Duck Flats guys be interested in
resurrecting her?


Home. I haven't asked yet. Epoxy went under polyurethane
paint so a lot of surface checking (cheaper ply, thin surface
plies...can fix with a very light glass/epoxy layer, but that
means more weight. OTOH, the original folding schooner was in
a far worse state, now a work of art.
