Wish I had more sailing time and experience, to master this.

Holy cow is that your yawl (forgive me if I got that wrong. Afraid I've lost a lot of my knowledge. Otherwise I'd say schooner rigged yawl?)
Beautiful!
My father and I sailed a lot. His boat names in ownership order:
Centerfold w dinghy named PinUp
September Song
Magic Carpet w dinghy named RugRat

Sadly, no. But what a great daysailer that would make..
Sea legs of mine got tested once on a sailboat from Aruba to San Blas near Panama - of which several days were rough seas. The neat thing was with the extra air inhaled at sea is you could sleep 12 hours a day. At least I did, but stepping on land was an out of body experience. An absolute thrill.

Porvenir landing...still a nice place if you like quiet.

Yawls and Ketchs have a second, aft mast. The yawl's mast is behind the tiller and a ketch's mast is in front of the tiller. Hope this helps.Quote:

Nice XK 22. Volvo 280 drive; one of the best engineered of anything.Quote:
