Tim, you'd need to cobble together a quick 20' extension out the front door of the Barn, but wow would it be worth it!!!

Think of it as a "retirement investment".... for when you're too old to sail!

She is awful pretty! I'd have to sell my soul (negotiable, BTW, for the right boat--hehe) to pay for what it would cost to restore her, though.

Aw come on Tim...

She's really not THAT much more than a little 21 foot Lyman... which you 've been making noise about for a while now! hehe.

"Save a Plastic Classic" a.k.a. "Baiting Tim"

It's a new winter sport, and it's all the rage.

OK, guys. You know I'm an easy target! No fair waving the forbidden fruit before the addict's eyes...

Just the other day, Heidi was, like, "So when are we getting our Lyman, anyway"? Sheesh. Even she is no help!

Every addict needs an "enabler"!

It's contagious, I'm afraid...

Here I am, trying to get progress made on the Triton, when a little (identity unknown as of the moment) Keelboat hull--sans deck, fittings sails--and spars has become available to us. Looks like it would be fast and easy (ha!), a baby version of the Triton Daysailor. I'm supposed to sell it for the yard, not BUY it myself...but I keep asking Mary these questions like "But, isn't it a shame that we've put together that shop and it will just be over and done when the boat is finished?" and "But, once we move aboard MANDARA, what will we do for entertainment during the winter?". I'm not sure I'm gonna win, mind you, and I'm not sure what winning is in this case!

For the true masochists, I do know where there are acouple real neat wood sailboats! HA!

Yeah..."an" enabler. Seems like I have multiple enablers! hehe

I need another boat like a hole in the head. Therefore, logic has it that I emailed a few Lyman ad-placers this morning. What an idiot...it's sure to get me into trouble.

I know this one old guy...used to own an auto shop...has this sweet spot for Corvairs. Eventually, people started GIVING him Corvairs. Last I knew, he had over 60 of them out in his field at home.

Be Cafeful!
