The Halman has arrived...
More pictures later - these for now.
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. Later, Tom Email decoder: Remove onetwothree, replace with info, Remove four, replace with swsports, Remove com, replace with org. |

Congratulations! You should stand out in the crowd at your local sailing waters with that salty little cruiser. |

It's a non-nonsense displacement hull with a short keel for trailering. Is there quite a bit of ballast? (maybe not for trailering?) With sufficient ballast, she looks like she'd ride out some very serious weather. Neat little boat! |

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. |
Cool little boat, Tom

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 boat. Pretty lady. Congrats on both Tom. ;-)

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.

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. They are fun little boats. Where are you planning to sail her? Narragansett Bay will be it's primary sail area - you can't get in that much trouble in Narragansett Bay. :) Later, Tom Email decoder: Remove onetwothree, replace with info, Remove four, replace with swsports, Remove com, replace with org. |

Now that I think about it, the Nordica 21 that I looked at had that longer forefoot - I just couldn't, other than the front window, see the difference. The more I climb around the boat (today has been a down day - I was so stressed out, the RA flared up and I'm pretty crippled up, it's getting better - the more I'm impressed with it.
