Querido Frankoo,
de Duckworks, Glen'l etc., me van a hacer socio honorario cualquier dia...
Te pongo mi barco favorito de todos, pero de verdad de la buena,
que me daba palo no verle entre todos estos otros
Solo tiene 14 pies, pero esta bien lastrado y es un diseño del archifamoso
y padre de arquitectos navales Nat Herresoff, el Brujo de Bristol
Es un
daysailer que otro, tiempo despues, doto de orza relevable.
Un barco 100% disfrute, y pocas o nulas molestias de
ownership
y que me veria patroneando hasta ya muy avanzada la veterania
Precio de uno usado, ...mejor ni mirar
.
"If you are looking for a sturdy, safe, comfortable, seaworthy little vessel that anyone from age 9 to 90 can handle, you have found it in our fiberglass version of the original L. Francis Herreshoff's Buzzards Bay 14 footer. She is a 17' 9" daysailor that can sail six people comfortably and handles anything from a light drifter day to rough water churned up by the southwester of a typical summer afternoon. This is the perfect boat for both the new sailor just learning the ways of the sea, or the more experienced sailor who appreciates a vessel of this caliber.
When you study the lines of the Buzzards Bay 14, you will note her fine entry with a slight forefoot cutaway. This gives her the ability to cut through chop, point high and tack quickly. The ballast is set low in the keel for stability. Combined with the above and the graceful lines of her underbody gives her a sea kindly motion in all types of sea conditions."
