Galveston's Best Coffee Lies!

More like 10 footers with an occasional 15 footer thrown in. Joe and Terry Butcher own El Lago Coffee Co. The trio had planned to deliver 10,000 pounds of coffee from Belize to Texas. *** Lie #2 One does not deliver *from/to*. One can only deliver to. Deliver us from evil? |

You must have not seen his 'plans' which are more like line drawings. Um... most plans usually consist of lines, Dilbert. |

... In the hull as low as possiable..At the end of this video you can see the design, the container is to scale. The plan is to have lot's of ballast (battery banks included). http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YrOAhKl3cZw Good to see you abandoned your original silly idea of having the container on deck between the masts and placed it low as possible as I suggested. Now, if you follow my next bit of good advice you might just succeed. -- Hire a professional captain and crew to run the new boat. Wilbur Hubbard |

All third world countrys have problems. But the problems become yours when the container is inspected on arrival. There is no problem. You know what was loaded and as long as the seal remains un-tampered with then there are no suprises. A couple of pad locks and a trip right to a secure shipping port to await loading. Every coffee port in the world is surrounded with secure containers waiting to be loaded.

Because ya got a shallow draft boat with a drop center board....... ? 1) why ya going with something so shallow. That rig wont point worth ****. 2) I emagin that center board aint worth much since your container is sitting right on top of the CB trunk. 3) Most those "traditional working sail" designs have huge "barn door" rudders but yours looks like a corn flake. Do you plan on just motoring. I cant see how that litte rudder will be much use. But with all those sails Id hope you could trim it to sail straght. 4) are you going for a media look to impress those who are not familure with turn of the century working sail designs. Please dont tell me your going to be in "undevelped harbors" seeking your coffee and there for need a shallow draft center board. Why not use twin LEEBOARDS? Or better yet, get an old gulf shrimper and stick a flag pose in the middle of it and call it a sailboat............. Howard I Cappell would roll over in his grave if he saw that ******* design.......... Good luck Bob |
