Why my sailboat will beat your motorsailer.
maintain that any boat with sails that contains a large, heavy diesel and
large, often three-bladed propeller is a *******ization of a sailboat What about folding props then, Mr Wilbur "Pug-ugly Boat Owner" Hubbard ? So shoot me. Right, right, O my brother... Boo |

It's got a very high copper load of close to 80% so the blue ends up less than bright. I'm looking forward to getting a new bottom job on Temptress. But blue? Or Copper? White topsides? If so either one would look just fine. Copper will probably end up looking green which would look just fine.

Folding and feathering props are a blatant admission of the folly of dragging a fixed prop on a sailboat. I think they are ludicrous as they still remain a half-assed measure. Either you have a sailboat or you have a motorboat. If you are content with having a motorboat with a big diesel and fixed prop then stop trying to claim you are a sailor. It just ain't gonna happen!

Wilbur Hubbard ----------- Looks good Wilburrrrr! Mine is currently a habitat for all manner of marine life. Got to get to the yard! Mine was beginning to get that way after ten years scrubbing. Much of the paint was gone or very thin. While I don't mind doing a monthly scrubbing to keep the slime off when the water is warm, I refuse to get in 50 degree water to keep things under control. Also in the last year the barnacles were starting to adhere along with some types of crusty coral growth. I hate scraping barnacles and crusty stuff. It wears me out having to hold my breath again and again and again. It was time - high time. Now it should be good for years and years with just a light scrubbing from time to time. Wilbur Hubbard |

You can build your own for $600 or so, useful for other things also. http://www.sailsarana.com/projects.php#hookha I use one of these: http://www.amazon.com/dp/B0001VO1Z8/ but amazon seems to be out of stock at the moment. Any small oil-free compressor will work. |
