Same as a Saturna 33. Bill Garden designed pilothouse.



Looks good. What happens if you lurch against the stainless cooker
vent in a blow?

Brian Whatcott Altus OK
When it is blowing (and we are sailing), The Charlie Noble comes off and
we close the hole, then there is less chance of flailing sheets
snagging the stove pipe. We then use an alcohol stove that fits over the
Dickinsen. The stove pipe is pretty well out of the way behind the
lower forward shrouds and it would be difficult to lurch against it but
never the less it comes off in a blow. I presume you are talking about
the outside portion of the stack.

The Dickinsen is primarily a fall, winter and spring stove here in the
PNW. It keeps the boat warm and dry. On cool summer evenings we light
it but not often.
