Cool little boat, Tom

This is the Lady Liz ready to leave the yard in Milwaukee. http://www.swsports.org/images/LadyLiz.jpg This is Lady Liz and her namesake. http://www.swsports.org/images/namesake.jpg More pictures and the story of the move later - got a ton of email and other stuff to catch up on. For now, the topsides were all redone, the interior was all redone with new seat cushions and paint. The hull needs either paint or a good elbow rubbing with Finesse-It. Don't know yet. Rigging? Sails? Actually I expect a boat like this to benefit less from spiffy well-cut new sails (as compared to a lighter faster & bouncier boat) but it will still make a noticable difference. thunder wrote: Stout little double-ender and with lifelines, unusual for a boat that size. Pretty little boat, I like the lines. I wouldn't expect it to be overly fast, but I would expect you could keep sailing when others are tied to the dock. Nice boat. They're great little boats. A friend has a Nordica 21 which is very very similar. Fresh Breezes- Doug King |

Straight sloop rig with two sets of sails and three jibs - 120%, Storm and standard which whose size escapes me at the moment. thunder wrote: Stout little double-ender and with lifelines, unusual for a boat that size.

Round on the Nordica, rectangle on the Halman....plus a slightly different keel. ;-) |

I saw one out there in the yard where my boat was and I looked at it pretty closely. I couldn't tell the difference in the keel.
