Scout, that's a really fine looking yacht.
Congrats on picking out one of the better and notably tough cruisers
around in her size range. Enjoy!

That's got a rather short mast and unusual helm. And I've
never seen a two wheeled trailer with the wheels configured
fore-and-aft. It almost looks like a motorcycle!

About the mast support... it was not permanent, it was a
stout aluminum pole with a "y" bracket at the top, arranged
with a short piece of PVC pipe to work as a roller. Made
setting up the rig much easier. It rested in a socket just
beside the rudder gudgeons, so it could stay in place with
th rudder mounted. Saved the work of removing the rudder,
and also did not place trailering strains on the gudgeons.
When we first got the boat, we took it off when sailing.
Then I realized it made a nice flag staff, and we left it in
place. Then we just got lazy and left it in place.

After 20 years of observing people trailering sailboats, my
opinion is that 95% of them make far too much work out of
it. They then don't sail as often because it's too much PITA
to rig/launch/retrieve the boat. They say life goes in
cycles ;)

Uh.... Katy, guys don't like people saying their boats are "cute". My little Tangerine is cute.
Scout's boat is handsome. Or you could call it "bristol". But, don't call it cute.....

A very nice boat. If you could afford that boat, why couldn't you get some dental work?

Good looking boat. Also recognize the background.

It is the one I saw on the point at cape san blas. Unless there are
two identical RK26's at the Port St. Joe marina, with navy canvas and
a dodger. Unlikely.

Frank - same boat you saw in FL.
Scotty, this pic is the boat as I found it in Florida.
Thanks Katy, I know you meant well - even if you've put my manhood on
the line!
CM - Thank you, I like her lines too, very manly!
Doug - I hear you on the alum pole - I'd do the same!
Gilly - the pics shows the dental work I already had done - you should
have seen them b4!

Thanks Ellen,
I probably should've elected for quick upload versus quality. I'll
change that in the future.

I'll call it anything I want...and since it's a female (boats are, ya
know) calling her handsome implies that she has other attributes rather
than beauty...handsome women are usually statuesque and durable...the
durability part suits, but the boat is certainly not stauesque...

Do you find that the dodger interferes with your peripheral vision while sailing?

Jon...we had a dodger on the O'Day...it hampered peripheral and was a
PITA for the most part...one of the reasons why we've never got one for
Chanteuse...for the amount of protection it offered, we figured we were
better off slifing the hatch shut and putting on heavy dity rain
gear...BTW..hail hurts when it hits...

I can understand that. My dodger does limit it somewhat, but the benefits
far outweigh the problem here.

Jeez Scout. I saw your boat picture and this.

The boat looks nice. Does it have a name you like? Are
you renaming it? What is/will she be called?

Thanks Bart - hehe, I don't know who that guy is but that is one big mouth!
It was named the "Gayle Lee" for the previous first lady.
"Sheryl Lee" is looking very probable as a new name, in honor of the new
first lady :o)
