They're almost to Oregon, and headed to San Diego. Anybody intersted in how this boat handles in rough weather can check the blog......this time of year they will have *plenty* of gnarly weather to deal with. Coastal forecast for Thursday is calling for sustained winds of 40 knots with higher gusts........("Auntie Em!") Nice looking boat and interesting design. Interestingly, this is the second time in the past week that I've heard about articulating rudders. The first was with a very experienced sailboater and boat builder here at Kingman. I realize that the NW 42 is a new trawler type boat design but I am not sure I am ready to accept the radar arch instead of a traditional mast. The arch is probably more functional and convenient, but it just doesn't look right to me on this type of boat. I agree. |
