Hi Ken, Off the top of my head thinking back to the times I've been on Frolic 21's, the lowest freeboard is about 17/18". However, it really is a case of getting some profile lines down on paper, or Delftship etc if you wish, a drake stern will draw the eye down rather than along the sheer as a fant...

Hi Bkueber, We have been using compressed sawdust logs on SY Gondola for three years now, the ones we use, after trialling a few different makes, are 'Blazer Logs', manufactured by Clifford Jones Timber Ltd. in Wales, UK. I will answer your questions in the order you ask them; How well do briquettes...

Thanks for the welcome! Gondolier, You've got a real beauty there! Reading a little of her history it sounds like she was in a similar state to Cangarda when rescued. I love it when things like that come together. I helped deliver Cangarda to Ensenada and have some pictures of loading her onto a he...

Welcome onboard Chris, you lucky lucky man! Cangarda is one of the most, if not THE most beautiful yachts in the world, Medea's not bad either of course

Here's my usual command;
