I'll answer a couple of posts here.
Alan, I will vent it when
cooking. And it's a
propane gas
stove. The
heater is direct vent so no worries there but I'm going to buy an carbon monoxide detector. I saw the
dinghy roller setup on the
Searunner thread and it looks good. I'm trying to find a used
dinghy. I don't want to pay $2000 for new. Compost
head is an option but another $6 bills. I don't expect to do much more than daysailing this
winter and the porta potty will have to do. The
autopilot will be ahead of the new
toilet (head!). Ahead of the
head.
The boat is a Buccaneer/Kraken hybrid. I looked at both designs and can't really see any one thing that stands out. The seller told me that the PO said it was modified with input from Kurt
Hughes. I contacted KH and he said he doesn't
recall and if he did any engineering it would have been minimal. It's possible that Lock Crowther also had some input if the boat was in the construction phase before 93 when he died. I'm not too concerned about the design changes because it's been that way for 20 years. It has lines and
hardware everywhere so I can really tweak the
sails. The boat does have an acceptable level of funk which I like. The inside is more like when I used to use the camper shell on my truck decades ago. Pretty basic.
Jay and Scout, it does have a Kiwigrip style nonskid. The R2A is a possibility and this boat could be a contender. We'll wait and see on that.
She's still up in Orcas. There's heavy rain high winds and flash flood warnings until tomorrow. After that the
weather is decent. I gotta get my baby down here.
