- Love life, learn fast and shift left or right when necessary. Have had the pleasure and pain of alternatives in life. Change with the flow, learning when necessary to build a new direction or career. Flexibility has been the norm and still feel the freedom it inspired.
New Rudder
Modern design plus 15% larger, skeg lengthened 7"
Permanent Storm Windows
Aluminum trim rings secure 1/2" dark acrylic panels
New Chain Plate design
External one piece chain plates. Old teak on cap rail removed as well as original rub rail. Hull to deck joint glassed over, then new teak/bronze rail installed high on outer edge of hull.
Bowsprit addition
The Pilothouse version is a true ketch, with mast 4' forward of cutter rig and has no staysail, but added bowsprit adds 125 square feet to the headsail plus allows for a staysail.
Dolphin Striker
At the end of the Dolphin Striker (or martingale) is traditionally a spear point, I chose to make it something that would be less harmful to a playful dolphin, another Dolphin.
New Refrigeration
Interior volume reduced from 18 to 12 c.f. and insulated with special material to give the equivalent of 15-20" of foam.
