"Bote a Ouele" 6500lb TylerCraft 29 (Rhoad Island, NY,1967, I think.)
short bilge keels fiberglass 12 hp inboard atomic 2 gas, masthead
sloop with 2'-10" draft and self tending jib sailed in the Saint John
river, NB Canada. Moored off the front yard of the cottage in Evandale,
in the tidal estuary (2' tides). Windex, tell tales, compass and depth
sounder only.

It sails great, especially in thin water, is well suited to sailing
upriver, has 6 foot headroom, curved cabin sole, propane camp stove in
galley, taffrail barbeque, room for a generator.

A weekend cruiser used for occasional longer trips of a week or so,
can sleep 6, holding tank head with air blown "ballast" purge,
120vac/12vdc fridge, flatbed trailer.

Keeping it on the back yard over winter at home means I should be out
there now scrubbing the topsides, getting ready to paint the old
crazing gelcoat.

It's raining. I'm lazy.

Bought it 8 years ago and I had to rebuild the engine. I think I
finally got the oil leak healed. I can lift the engine aboard with an
"A" frame made from the boom and spinnaker poles, which is also used to
raise and lower the mast singlehanded.

I have replaced port side decking over rotton balsa core, and have
relined the rudder tube with epoxy / graphite.

About 5 years ago the alumunium mast was chewed up by lightning, 25
dime sized holes starboard in a line 6" apart between the spreader and
masthead near the most curved portion of the mast extrusion, was
replaced under insurance. No electrical damage ensued.

The rigging is ugly old nicopress, 25 years old. Same connectors as
hold up your power lines.

My yard uses a loader to retrieve the trailer when bringing the boat
ashore. In winds, it it easier to lower the mast while afloat before
mounting the trailer, because of windage.

Your boat will not satisfy your requirements until you know what they
are.
