Guest Posted September 19, 2014 Share Posted September 19, 2014 Thanks Peter. Perhaps it would have been an appropriate photo to post on the thread about minimum auxiliary engine power requirements or yachts. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JennyMorgan Posted September 19, 2014 Share Posted September 19, 2014 Or even the thread about calendars.A very long time ago I towed Albion, complete with a jazz band in her hold, around Oulton Broad, using a big old Seagull on my Drascombe. At the time it surprised me but when I now see her being towed quite fast, and long distances by her tender, I realize that it was no great shakes.I don't recollect the band drowning out the sound of the Seagull though.

Hockham Admiral Posted September 19, 2014 Share Posted September 19, 2014 What is the boom made of to allow it to be so bendy, please? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mbird Posted September 19, 2014 Share Posted September 19, 2014 There is no boom on a Wherry, John. I assume it's the sail cloth rolled up you can see as it looks like it has a reef in. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk HD Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted September 19, 2014 Share Posted September 19, 2014 Yes, it was a deceptively windy day, she actually had two reefs in. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
