Re: Boat Identification
Thesane, click on the link. It looks like Aleutka to me, too, and the article explains the reasoning behind why it is rigged as it is.

Re: Boat Identification
Thank you all!
I knew that I would get an answer in this crowd. I cannot fully express how awesome I think you are without the assistance of graphs and charts.

Re: Boat Identification
While I'm not surprised that someone here nailed it (pcmm), I've discovered that there is very little information on the interwebs about this boat. I'm positively intrigued by how unique it is and am digging for additional information.
I lurked on this site for years before creating an account, then lurked for another couple before posting. You people really are the best.

You ought to check out Lechter's book on self steering, he had a very small boat, "Island Girl" I think, that he sailed from CA to Hawaii and back.

Re: Boat Identification
Not to sound snippy, but we've read the books we encourage noobs to read.

Re: Boat Identification
Be "snippy" all you want. We noobs are simply in search of information. I, for one, am a sponge for knowedge.

Letcher's book "Self Steering For Sailing Craft", Copyright 1974. Published by International Marine Publishing Company, Camden, Maine.
See if you can get hold of it. It's not just an interesting read. It's a bit of a manual, a repository of ideas and ways to think about self steering.
When our self steering failed (on the Yankee 30, 3 days out of Kauai bound for San Francisco), it was his memories of this book that he drew on to create the amazing surgical rubber and 17 blocks main sheet to tiller steering, that was what we used for the remainder of the trip.
