Fitting her out with a proper Marconi rig, I suspect..... Such a nice hull shouldn't be handicapped
with some old obsolete gaff ketch rig. Duh!

Cheers,
Ellen

Tad,

It was one sad day for me when I sign "Pneuma" away but as each NW Wind
storm blows thru here, I'm very happy I don't have to look after her.

I know you'll miss her but you still have a boat.I also know you know
how to again

Congratulation on you sale.

By the way I invested in a High Income Fund with my sale and so far it
has carried my VISA ACCOUNT while growing the account.

Life isn't to bad on an old man

Thom

Didn't have one. I wasn't privy to such knowledge at the time.
However, i now understand why one of the more notorious US scooners was
for ever capsizing in deluges. That was a clear result of using metal
tube (Flagpole) masts instead of the as-designed solid timber, and
failing to cap them, obviously. I still dream of Organon.
