Now here is a pretty steel boat
http://www.yachtworld.com/core/listi..._boats=1312127
The Dutch have a long tradition of building sweet curves into steel hulls, and this is a good example. They also have a tradition of building burdensome, shallow, bluff-bowed boats but this is isn't one like that! DSK |

Very nice. I like the simplicity and functionality. You have good taste.

Here is a hull with sweet curves, lots of room and solid as steel. http://community.webshots.com/photo/...42722704VskyTX "solid as steel"??? I thought your boat *was* steel? exactly. The hull & rig look nice but the deckhouse is a bit too high & boxy. Why thank you, full keel with board. 4.5 to 11 ft draft. The rig is overbuilt steps to the tops of each mast, my inner fore stay is removed in this photo. The bow reminds me of a clipper and the stern is a wide hourglass takes the waves with ease fore or aft. The high deckhouse allows for a very roomy engine room and sail lockers. The high cabins allow a 6"6 overhead and serious tankage, all in cradles and hull tanks. I like a flush deck boat but they all look goofie under 62 foot and do not have the needed room below to cruise and have 2 people liveaboard in comfort IMO. Joe. DSK |

Was your boat designed by Glen-L?

I googled Glen-L seems he's out of SoCal so I doubt he had anything to do with the design of RedCloud. You trailor sailors may be more hip to Glen-L but I've never heard of him. BFD.

A Botter was used in the Northern part of the Netherlands, mainly in the Zuiderzee (now known as IJsselmeer). I live in Zeeland atm, and there another type of ship was used, named Hoogaars. http://www.visserman.net/fotos/HB3_big.jpg Cheers! Remco |

The Hoogaar looks like it's got less bluff a bow, more "point-y" and possibly faster. I wonder if the word Hoogaar comes from the same origin as the English word (used as name of type of vessel) Hooker. Fresh Breezes- Doug King |
sweet curves on the girl, not the boat.

The price seems very reasonable for a steel boat.

That Mysterry Mermaid is a knock-out and no mistake. That is one ugly boat, though. I suppose the beauty Joe sees is in its functionality. After all that's what us real sailors value above all else . . . functionality. For Joe and Terry it functions primarily as a floating home tied indefinitely to a dock.

Yes, I agree. Joe is simple and functionally illiterate. Hee hee!

"DSK" blathered thusly: You might be interested to know that there are botters at our home, we've been using them for years for dropping acid . . . . We also use them for all the oil drips and leaks under the diesel in our trawler. Fresh Breezes- Doug King |
"Hee hee!"
You giggle like a little girl. Whats up? Pathetic. Simply pathetic. Joe |
