Re: Pilothouse Variations -- Boreal

I'd assume they're shore-tie lines for a bow/stern arrangement using a bow anchor and stern tying to trees, rocks, etc. My very limited experience in Sweden was that a lot of local boats did it the...

Re: Pilothouse Variations -- Boreal

Except for the part where the bow torques 4 feet each direction in a seaway. Roger did mod his own into a ketch rig though....

Re: Pilothouse Variations -- Boreal

I agree. If you're going to spend a lot of time in marinas a Boreal is not for you. It's a good point that it's sort of a semi-full keel arrangement (not like an IP or something, but still...) so a...
