bones,
I see no ladder at all. Just small rub rails.
Al (lives in Ketchikan) says there are young people tenting the boat now.
May be good intentions but I suspect a livaboard. It's very common to live on boats close to sinking from neglect as they are dirt cheap and apartments in AK are NOT cheap. The fact that they are covering her is also a good sign. Depends if they're trying to save the boat by keeping the fresh water off the deck and house or just avoiding leaks inside.
No Eric, I am to understand that the intent is to rebuild the house and deck. May not develop though the harbor department made a fuss about the full cover as a aesthetic issue and had to be convinced the rebuild was valid. So we shall see.

The Wild South Project: a low-lowered, long-range cruising motor yacht | Nordkyn Design
Don't know if this has been here before, but it came to my attention today. To me the exterior is not at all attractive, but the aims of the concept seem about right. With the hull form and light weight I would guess she's tender initially (under foot) which might put many off. The deckhouse interior seems nice and bright, though overall it's very stark.
To me an interesting boat......

The photoshop re due is a lot more shippy and better looking.
Sorry for removing that Photoshoped version, West. After accessing the sight myself I see the original photo had a copyright message below. Duh!
My bad Art, Never gave it a thought. If I could photoshop, the changes would and will now that the subject YOU brought up resonates among the 'Hookers" about. Damn!! :lol:

If you look at 1:16-1:19 of the video, there is what appears to be a stack change? What is that doing? It exposes some type of bracket facing astern. Any eagle eye spotters see what it is doing and why?
thx.

Came across this 41' Ed Monk, Sr North American built trawler on YW today. Being an East Coast guy, I had never heard of Rawson before. It is powered by twin Cat 3150 V-8s which I am also unfamiliar with. Nice to see that not all of these Double Cabin designs are Taiwanese Tubs.
Wet .... who cares!
I'd forgive that boat for worse than a wet windshield.
Perfect replacement for my old Willard. I've looked at a lot of other boats w an eye toward finding them a better boat than the W30. All have come down as great boats but ...... . No "but" that I can see on this one TAD. Thanks for posting.
