Think "small" sail plan 15.0 SA/D Ratio. Mine boat is 14.7 cutter.

I've not been here long, but I looked back over some past stuff when the posts querying your whereabouts appeared a while back. She does look a tough old boat, and I'm sorry to hear she's lost.


3/8 glass is for put'z like you Bob. RedCloud has 3/4" and 1" thick
armoured glass in bronze ports. Think Monel not bronze thru hulls in
ice.

BTW look at the big picture windows on this boat:

Nice setting! It certainly looks at home there. I've looked around the site there a little more, looks like it was custom built.

I suppose my next question is "what's a high lattitude?". I'd love to get up far enough north to see 'bergs.
