Re: 38 foot junk rig schooner

When I last spoke with the seller in early August this year he confirmed that Encore is sold and she is happily sailing on Lake Superior.

Judith Curry does NOT deny AGW.
Those that suggest she is a 'denier' reveal their own intellectual bigotry and idiocy.

Re: Bezo's new yacht

Jeff's yacht fiasco... what a circus.

1) The bridge is not in use, it was decommissioned in 1993.
2) The bridge will be rebuilt.
3) It’s not the first time the bridge was disassembled.

Pacific/Indian Ocean sea level rise is "trivial": 0.46 mm/yr, 0.009 mm/yr² acceleration.

Re: Insurance and Surveying for Ferrocement Hulled Boats

YOU just described the WRONG way to apply the ferrocement.:rolleyes:

It should be pushed through from the inside only and then faired and shaped at the outside.

Re: Boats Less Than $30K Recent Noteworthy Finds

How about I list the tales of badly built and poorly maintained GRP, Steel and Alu boats?

Well built ferros have taken their owners all over the world and some have done so for more than 50 years.

Re: Boats Less Than $30K Recent Noteworthy Finds

I think Bob's response was conceited and very ASSumptive.
The seller may genuinely believe it to be a Perry design.
BTW I really like a lot of Jay Benford's designs.
Tough seagoing boats.

The world will be better for having another junkie in it. :smile:

I am currently converting my Jasmine into a junk rig sloop.

If you need help, advice, or a shoulder to cry on just holler.

Re: Boats Less Than $30K Recent Noteworthy Finds

A very appealing asking price on what is an amazing traveling machine.
If one is in the market for a boat like this that will never let you down she merits a visit and thorough inspection.
