We passed this rig yesterday along the road (M37) while driving south from TC.
I don’t know what it is, except versatile.
It’s like the Cape Dory 14 I’ve seen around here, but bigger. And what’s more, it has side-seating. The Dory just has a small side-seat at the back then 2 thwart-boards further up, mostly for rowing.
I like a boat that can be rowed or sailed. If the wind died down, I’d hate to just bob around out there. A boat that had nice glide when pulled would be a dandy replacement for sailing (I rowed a bit back in the olde letter-sweater days). Of course, a quiet motor isn’t bad neither, but they weigh more…and cost more (duh).
It kinda looks like this honey has a roller-furled jib, which spells doubloons to me, but whatever.
A beachboat for 4 is what I’m after… On a trailer. For $500.
Someday…
