The fishes wouldn't even want to live in that thing .

Many old boats have met a similar fate. Don't blame the boat. It didn't mean to be neglected. Owners health and death are not criticizeable. It's sad and I hope someone with skill adopts her and either salvages her goods or disposes of her properly.

kind regards,

Come on guys ... squint your eyes and imagine that gorgeous prow with a black hull, rerigged as a schooner (swap the masts, new locations of course) chop off most of the crap aft ... well, the stern will need a bit of work to get it into a proper counter ... then there are those rust stains ... rebar or mesh protruding?

Ok ... as Gilda used to say, "... Never mind."

[zeehag]

hard rock IS a schooner--not a ketch.

there are no protruberances from hull. is smooth...rodlmao....
ferros get rust stains. especially old ones with no maintenance.

[kefroeschner]

Quite right mlle. hag. That's what happens when you read instead of looking. And, seriously, I agree with you that someone ought to take her on and save her. The transom is not that bad and the rust stains are, as you say, probably just cosmetic. (Why I said she ought to be black.) What is 'rodlmao?'

[Jolly Roger]

Purely as a matter of academic interest, is it a ketch or a schooner? it’s a strange looking rig for a ketch.

[zeehag]

jolly roger, as i stated earlier--i know that boat and yes it is a schooner. not a ketch. her name is hard rock. the moorings are coronado, cali

Some things seen cannot be unseen.

the good thing about this picture is that i can see the mast of my ericson behind the hard rock..lol

rock isnt in that bad condition--she is dirty and hasnt sailed in over 15 years--but her hull is solid. very rock solid..lol

Darn, Ive deliverd a few feros in the past! I would not do anything with this slab ! That hull is as crooked as a dogs hind leg! And with the extensive rust weepage, theres already bad thing going on inside the matrix! As others have said its only good to maybe salvage some equipment from it and junk the rest !!Ya would have to be darn hard up for a boat to even look at this THING !! Just my 2 cents

[rebel heart]

Favorite things:

- seagull shitting on the mizzen
- little red barn / garden shack there on the deck

[Badsanta]

I'd sell it for a $1 and be happy that it did not cost me more.

[senormechanico]

On the plus side, it's still floating.

[Geoduck]

I volunteer to ride it to the bottom with my scuba gear on!
