She really moves...

No...That isn't mine :) I do follow "Swells" adventures though... Still no idea what that other boat is? Took the O.L. 33 out the other day....in very little wind....she was just skipping along...I could get used to this :) Hauling out next week...dealing with a Sail drive for the first ti...

Here is another one...I'm interested in what type of boat this is.... http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3456/3259395786_b8bf7b01b6_o.jpg http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3350/3258563299_fea1ff6793_o.jpg I know the boat in the background is a Cal 40....but what is the other boat? Some French Design? Yes R...

http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3498/3255266374_9295a1a790_o.jpg I have been looking for info online about this Sailboat and have found very little...It is called an International 1006--as well as an O.L. 33. Built in Denmark by Arne Borghegn...roughly 50 in the world I believe. Flush Deck w/ a beau...

Saw a cool Triton Yawl out on the Bay the other day...




Very cool!

More pics to come....Happy Friday!

Hi Tim... Sorry about the Das Parka plug....I don't know what I was thinking. Now as for posting future pictures of Storm Petrel....what should I do about the enormous sticker they forced me to put up on the bow of my boat? :) Happy New Year! And may the 09' season be a good one for you and the rest...

Hi Rachel... Well as John Vigor put it: "After nearly 60 years of production and real-life testing, there are no weaknesses left in the Folkboat that are not patently obvious, such as the cramped accommodation quarters. This is a very open, honest boat." If you have a ton of stuff...living...

Thanks Rachel... I just got back into town last night...and was quite surprised when I picked up the Jan 09' Latitude...very cool...the caption reading "Storm Petrel Swoops Out The Gate"...I am looking forward to 09'!!! Happy New Year!! http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3222/2929491783_4a99a2...

Thanks Chris...
Now we know...there is actually one of these for sale in the Bay Area right now...

What is she? http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3254/3135760373_6fd56dca35_b.jpg http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3108/3135758035_a63c8a37e4_b.jpg I really like the Bow Roller... http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3078/3136582864_28e786d45a_b.jpg Very cool boat..hopefully we can figure it out....Happy Holidays!

What a nice looking boat!!! I love Westsail 32's....Classic!

I forgot to mention that it has a canoe/double-ender type transom...I will try and get a few more pics and post them...Those links are fantastic! Some really beautiful boats....

I can't figure this one out....it is a nice little boat with a transom hung rudder...I would say between 26-28 ft overall...Ideas?

Thanks for the update....I imagine the boat does sail very well....however I wonder how that powerful double spreader rig compares to the traditionally more conservative single spreader fractional rig found on most Folkboats. I do like the stoutness of the external chainplates...and having an inner ...

Wow! Doublespreader rig...external chainplates...what a cool looking Folkboat. So what is the current story with the boat? Any more pictures? Thanks for posting the picture....

Hi Rachel... During the time I owned and sailed "Che" the Pearson Ariel....I was always interested in the Folkboat and the Contessa 26. There was this old timer at our marina, who had owned his International Folkboat since he purchased it brand new in 1970, that invited me out for a sail o...

I'm definitely game for creating a Monitor Discussion board via this thread if you like..Hi Rachel....I thought that Avatar looked familiar :) Yes...Che is currently up in Northern California on a trailer getting ready for the next voyage up the coast to BC sometime soon..And yes the headroom was ge...

Thanks for all your kind comments...The Dodger was built by a local outfit called Starbuck Canvas....and they make some really high quality Dodgers..I have seen other Folkboats with Starbuck Dodgers on and the design really suits the lines of the boat. I have had Storm Petrel for a little over a yea...
