greetings,
70-year-old ferry that used to be crammed with 150 passengers is now a cosy houseboat | daily mail online
$145k (us) seems just a bit steep to me but it does have a saloon...
cool interior

Those two boats where designed by the same guy, and now a third one,.... the very ugly sailing Yacht "A"I agree but Venus and A are IMO the only two large yachts that anyone had the guts to separate themselves from the herd design wise in decades. Making them both quite interesting by definition.

In a separate study in 1993, two French students had been assigned the design of a Large Capacity Missile Ship, a 20,000-tonner with 500 VLS cells filled with land-attack missiles.[11] This design was inspired by a RAND paper in that year, which suggested a land invasion could be halted by destroying 20% of its vehicles with precision munitions.[12] This would take several days with aircraft, but a surface ship with large numbers of land-attack missiles could achieve the same effect almost instantly.
Was out very early yesterday morning exploring Casco Bay in the whaler and saw this aluminum gem.
That's the setting moon, not rising sun

My first impression was that it was Idlewild, the George Buehler design that cruised the world a number of years back. But a closer inspection reveals that this is a completely different vessel.

I wonder how well they would work in low wind situations? It is one thing to vent a van driving down the highway at 50mph, but for a boat at anchor with 5 knots of wind?
Just saw this on YW. 38' based on Tad Roberts Yellow Cedar Design .Sweet ride
I'm not sure how to attach the link .
Yellow Cedar is one of my very favorite boats. Thanks for the picture Marty. Have only seen drawgs before. Look at the wake (or lack of same) to see how easily this one slides along. I think she has less power than Willy .. 28hp? Mark would easily call her a "slicer". Magic.
WLL? ..... maximum.
The Memory 38 has a 52 HP Yanmar engine with 3.2:1 reduction turning a 20" x 19.5" three-bladed prop.
Herman and Hellen - A closed/abandoned marina at end of Eight Mile road.
In San Francisco freshwater Delta (City of Stockton territory). Has become bone yard for old working/tourist boats.
Boat on outside of first pict is wood... many locations where rot has left gaping holes in upper hull. Steel boat on inside was decades ago a starring ocean tour attraction. Several CG tugs... etc... also present in close proximity. Sad to see good ol' boats die!!

Vessel in front appears to be a WWII built Miki tug. Wood vessel astern is a former minesweeper, built in the mid 1950s. Inboard of the tug is former USCG Fir, built in 1939 and for sale here: 1939 Research/Adventure Vessel EX-LIGHTHOUSE TENDER, San Francisco Bay Delta California - boats.com
Eric,Marty,
That's a propper fish boat to be sure. Even the stove stack is propper and in the propper place. Where is the boat? I would think Fl would be a strange place for such a boat.
