Cool little boat, Tom

This is Lady Liz and her namesake.

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.

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.

Straight sloop rig with two sets of sails and three jibs - 120%, Storm
and standard which whose size escapes me at the moment.

Identical actually except for the bow spirit.

Don't forget the forward cabin port window. Round on the Nordica,
rectangle on the Halman....plus a slightly different keel. ;-)

You are right of course, but I'll be darned if I can see the
difference in the 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.

I was told that the molds were different, but I don't know for sure and
details seem to vary with retelling.

They are fun little boats. Where are you planning to sail her?

Before I left, I talked to a couple of people about it and apparently
there is a difference - I can't tell what it is. There is also a
slight difference in weight - the Halman is heavier than the Nordic by
120 pounds or something like that.

Could be the forefoot now that I think about it - the Halman's may be
a little less fine than the Nordic, but I don't have one here to look
at.

Narragansett Bay will be it's primary sail area - you can't get in
that much trouble in Narragansett Bay. :)

Tom...does your keel resemble the one in the drawing (on the right)?
