That wheel is great for sitting on the high side and still having an
easy reach. But you have to climb past it to get to lines if you're
singlehanding her. Also: Seated behind the wheel, it towers over my
head. I'll need to add a helmseat for height. So...with a big wheel
comes a price. I like it though.

Is that what they call a "Destroyer Wheel".... and what's it doing on a mere
interstellar runabout! You want control???.... hang a tiller off your
stern! Simplicity in Form & Function!

I like wheels because it makes it easy to sit on the low side.

I would congratulate him except I'm not convinced he
actually bought the boat.

Nice arse!


You're gonna make Sloco mad. He has a very narrow range for what he
considers an acceptable aft section. She'll be sailing again late
March...not too far off and I have lot of work this winter anyway.
Thomas is a VERY busy baby.

Wasn't that the boat Newspeak showed with a piling stuck into her after the
hurricane??

Yep, and after making a mistake in failing to credit the photo to me, I
won a lawsuit. They repaired the boat, put in a whole new engine and
interior and along with 10K in cash, gave me the boat!

Was it shipped with that backstay scraping all over the edge of the transom?

You'll need to learn to drive from the lowside in lighter
air..much
more effective.


I like steering from the low side, keep an eye on the head sail,
adjust the sheet, more comfy.

Bubbles & his mighty crew will now have to learn to look like sailors

I really like your boat. There is one up here that I have eyed on
occasion. I hope you get to spend lots of time sailing her.

Spring will be here before you know it. Come down from CT and let's go
sailing. I'll need some help tuning the rig! I'm going to get Mark over
at Doyle to lend me a hand. He's very familiar with the First series
boats.
