Glad as hell things worked out as well as they did with Lyssa: was much cheaper than driving 5 hours through a Hurricane to get a 'new to me boat' and find out I might not like it.   FAR CHEAPER and in a sense, I did get a new to me boat out of the … Continue reading Son-day mornin’ t’inks

Just a test run in calm waters, rough stuff comes later. Lyssa is at least 1/2mph faster than she has been the last year (since I put that epoxy finish on her hull)   The slow decline of that finish was not noticed, until, I started comparing logs from the past.   It was as steady decline … Continue reading New Hull, AAR

Nopes,,, Little'un had a run in with some beaver or … Continue reading Elbee’s Doc run

Good float today.  Wet deck from roll practice. She's a roller!!!   Moderate primary stability, wall solid secondary up to capsize point then full on toss you over.   That capsize point is almost 90° to surface.  No speed demon,  but I knew that from racing her the once.  4mph solid, all day long,  but requires enormous … Continue reading Dat sorta sucked!!!
