Mr. A. "Doubt Otto took the pict..." And why not?
Greetings,
Mr. g. MY question is: Why is Mr. mp on deck without a life preserver whilst under way AND under auto pilot?
Note those very high and sturdy rails and raised edge on the deck. While I fully support the use of PFDs whilst on a foredeck, he would have to work pretty hard to go over the side there.
One of my favorites .
Marty, that is what I call a proper yacht.
If ever I saw a man that would relish and enjoy a flybridge
Gas....you can tell Mark isn't on a fly bridge, cuz if he was, he'd have both hands in the air!

Ah, those were the days.... I did that, good balance required, especially when gybing, with spinnaker pole detached one or both ends. I remember reading an early Americas Cup boat used a monkey on the foredeck.In my teenage years, I was the foredeck man handling the launching and recovery of the spinnaker during races... without PFD or handrails. ...

My kind of boat though.

Like the hull shape. House and stern do nothing for me. Boat hull that size and shape needs walk around decks all at one level.Oh, man.......

Don, that's what I call a proper avatar!
Maybe you should look a little harder.Really? If you shaved 5' off the canoe stern and squared off its butt, it would be the same length as Slow Hand and be 'pretty much' what you have
Maybe you should look a little harder.
Something about these converted European fishing boats...

Exactly my point. Slow Hand wasn't designed for off shore passage making. The other vessel clearly has a pedigree for that. Slow Hand wasn't designed to be out in 8' seas and doesn't need the side walkways and water shedding capability. The other boat by the nature of it's original use, was probably designed to handle 8' seas and more.Sorry, Ted...still not seeing your walk around decks all on one level on Slow Hand...
