I have a standard poodle names Lambchop, Chopper for short.


Also a Standard Poodle, black, female, named Jazz. Our third
standard.


The good things about standards - Very smart, very clean ( a large dog
that can be an inside house dog with no shedding), opportunists, (will
cozy up to anyone in the family or friends circle to get the best
current deal), large enough to seem fierce (provided you don't show
cut them), although very gentle.

The bad things - high maintenance, require regular grooming, sometimes
too smart, become willful, do not like to be left out of any action.

This one has never been sailing, acquired her since we sold our boat
and those friends we have sailed with since have not expressed an
interest in her as crew.

Nice Steel Hull Harry. You build her yourself?

Oz you just been let off the hook for the ugliest interior.

Joe

No I didn't build her. I was tooyoung at the time she was built :-)
Why is the interior ugly? It is the same as when she was designed in
1943.

Sorry Harry, Maybe if you put some hooks on that pegg board bulkhead
and overhead it might look OK.

The pegg board was not invented until the late 50's, someone used a
poor product to re-do the original IMO.
Functionable that it allows the steel to breathe but better methods and
materials including the original batten boards would look much better.


Nice hull..She looks roomy and comfy and well kept, sept that rust
under the wood trim around your cockpit.

Are you in Canada? I saw the flag with a tree leaf on it :0)

Joe

Hi Joe,

The pegboard is there to let the hull breathe, as you say. There is no
rust inside. The boat was designed in 1943 and built in 1964. I don't
understand "someone used a poor product to re-do the original IMO"
since no changes were made since it was built.

My wife would like the interior to have batten boards. Unfortunately
she has seen how that looks and she likes it. I am not very good at
joinery work so that's out.

In places, like the galley, we use pegboard hooks. Quite handy
actually. I've never found pegboard hooks that will work on the
overhead. I know you were being sarcastic :-)

I understand that the 1930-style interior is not everyone's cup of tea,
but it suits me. Because my portlights are small, and I only have one
main hatch, having the interior all white makes the interior bright.

BTW that's not rust - that's dirt :-)

Yes Canada. The boat is in Newcastle, north shore of Lake Ontario.

Regards,

Harry

It is a nice boat. Are you in Owen Sound?

No, that's the port of registry. The boat is in Newcastle on Lake
Ontario. She was built in Meaford Ontario.
