Kentucky Woman

Below is a link to website created by the owners of Kentucky Woman, the owners of a cruising Triton. There's not a whole lot about the boat - it looks like they're more concerned with sailing than projects. Maybe they're on to something.

Just as a side-note, I think they've since sold the boat (on e-Bay, last fall sometime).

Still fun to read their website, of course :-) I liked the crisp blue color they painted the Triton, too.

They had some unique color ideas on the interior, though!

Tim,

I remember those colors! Glad you posted the photo. Not sure I'd choose the same ones, but I liked how they just went ahead and did what they liked. Kind of gave it a French look - must be the green :-)

The Triton truly is a blank canvas, just waiting for those who are restoring them to individualize them.

In contrast, when I first went cruising, I was crew on a Baba 30. Now that boat had a lovely cabin, well-laid out and the teak (not one bit of ply there either) finished beautifully. But you didn't feel like you could (or should) touch a thing! I used to sometimes wish for a design-flaw so that I'd have something to think about and "solve" :-)

Of course a person could go overboard on the rebound, and find a boat that needed waaaaaay too much work..... ;-)

YIKES.... did Waters do a sailing movie? Pink Flamingos on the foredeck?

To each their own said the old woman as she kissed the cow, under the tail.

Making the keel repair today, think I got some good photos of the "gash". Going to try to learn to post photos this evening, stay tuned.
