OK - are we all ready for me to delete the pictures of French Mediterranean coast boats currently in the files section? Gav ... Gavin Atkin gmatkin@... ...
OK folks - I've put up three more photos of these boats, two of which bear at least some resemblance to Bill Jaine's original. I threw the third in because I...

Looks like a lot of sail for a dory , Is there a keel ? I didn't see evidence of a center board . What book is this you are scanning from ? Dontcha love the...
... He's fabulous isn't he? Nonchalant, yet somehow not at all where he looks as if he should be. The book is Guide des Voiliers de Pêche, published by Le...
... It looks like the yard is made of two pieces, overlapped in way of the mast where it needs to be stronger. That's something new to me. Possibly the idea...
Peter, That is called a "fished" spar . Technique is ancient and still valid . 3 & 4 piece yards are not uncommon . It takes advantage of the natural taper of...
As long as you quote the source , aren't you covered by 'scholarly research ' since you are not seeking to profit from it's viewing ? Just don't ask any 'scum...

I forgot who it was very interesting folding roof top luggage rack/box/dinghy but I thought I would post this note about another of the breed I ran into on the...
Cat Yawls ( see LF Herreshoff for the definition) are difficult to get to lie head to wind with the mizzen sheeted due to the windage of the main being too ...
... that was attached ... Thanks Mark, My apologies. I'm a bit trigger happy with the viruses and email harvesters out there. Yes Mailwasher is super. I used...
I am a bit sceptical as to whether you can get any sailing dinghy to lie truly head to wind while the rudder is in place, except perhaps by use of a sea anchor...
The boat in the photos at the attached link would stand dead to wind under mizzen alone and ultimately sail backwards , even sailed into the slip at the old...
... My guess is that this has to do with the lateral plane. For a boat to lie at an angle to the wind, it has to be sliding sideways, or at least diagonally...
I've just spent a very effing cold three days working on the Maryland Dove. The main job on Sunday was to downrig her for the winter - all spars, running ...
In my own designs I find that by having the mizzen as far aft as possible, much of the area being aft of the rudder, the boat will lie nominally head to wind...
... I know it's irrelevant, but it pleases me to imagine that Joe DiMaggio may have used these - he was raised to the family business, which was fishing in SF....
Oh, pish tosh. Your boat idea is not the same as that one at emubo. To begin with, I think yours would be much more burdensome, would actually row as opposed...
