The motor is visibly not operating. Before the carp rise too violently, my tether is still secured to a cockpit strongpoint and I'm still secured to my tether. Nice self steering system. I balanced out the boat and thought I engaged the autopilot and for over 8 hours stayed on course then I noticed that I forgot to turn the autopilot on. :0) Capt. American |

1992 or 1993, I think. You can follow the whole squareboat design

That's better. Did you learn to cheese from CN? I'm impressed by the

Cheers MC Better than none I would think and besides Taddy could just walk ashore if he dropped off the side. Ah, another poster who thinks I'm 12 feet tall! Now _that_ makes up for the cruel and wounding criticism issued by Barnacle Bill from his secure position on Bobsprit's weigh-in gantry, it really does! My worry is that lashing on the tiller. I would have placed it closer to the end so it could be easily slipped off if necessary. Nagnagnag. Look closer. For the very reason you say, it's figure-8ed on the ends of the cockpit seat slats, and not around a cleat. One flick of a hand and it's free instantly. Why? there are 100-200m long fishing nets in the oddest of places, and their flags at one end are often blown away, and the twin buoys at the other may be loggy, so one can be nearly on top of the bolt line before seeing it, and need to do some rapid evasion. (Forget other boats, hardly anyone ventures onto the main lake body other than in the big races). -- Flying Tadpole ------------------------- Learn what lies below the waves of cyberspace! http://www.internetopera.netfirms.com |

The photo does look a bit like there's one super long line (long enough to waterski with!) but that's optical illusion: there is a spare tether attahced to the rudder-post beam which appears to be a continuation of the tether I'm wearing but isn't. The tether I'm wearing is attached to a strong point about 6inchs abaft an a foot below the turning block in the foreground. Tether lengths are only 1.5m.
