Interesting boats

[Nomad Willy]

Thanks Dan re #47,
Mom was a HS art teacher for about 35 yrs in Seattle.
Her last works were in pottery.
Not that many people can work fast enough to do water color well but that may have been mom’s specialty .. to go to oil or WC comfortably embracing both equally .. almost.

Seems Alaskan fishermen are almost all fond reel winches and Bruce anchors.

I do hope you have it properly conserved/preserved and hanging somewhere where you and others can enjoy it.

This is an interesting boat painted by my mother in WWII in Juneau Alaska. I was just a very small boy and was amazed by the outhouses on every other float. Most were two holers and starfish and the like could be seen everywhere under the water. Jelly fish, fish and bottom fish were frequently/usually there.

The painting is true art painted not true to the image of the real thing but to the essence or reaction of the viewer .. my mother. Details like the rub rail were not painted as they were but as they should be .. as art. Look at all the interesting lines in the painting like logs and pilings. This one obviously was a gill net boat but I see brown entries in the painting that probably were gurdies. Kinda like fishing reels. At this time it was all hand lining or hand operating the gurtie wheel/crank. The stern hullform apears to be of the fantail variety .. uncommon on fish boats even at this time. But because of the sail it may have been fantail. But the sail may not be for propulsion but as a steadying saiL.

I can’t guess what the small brown things are on the cabin top. Could be a dinghy cradle just to put something on the board.

Beautiful piece of art! Thanks for sharing.

Would you be so kind to explain the use of the jog lever. I've not heard this term before.

I really like this boat, the interior layout not so much.

Sailor of Fortune answered the question. The AP can turn the rudder faster than I can spin the wheel. I would love it for certain docking situations. I have a Raymarine AP and they don’t make a jog lever for my AP. If I ever need to change out my AP, I will get one with a jog lever option. There may be a way to add one to my AP, but I’m not smart enough to do it myself and it isn’t a high enough priority now to spend the bucks on it.

Had this tri hull made of Balsa pull up beside us today

Nice looking boat! 3+ miles per gal at 8 knots... impressive. 19 knots WOT, also impressive with one screw and not too large an engine.

Wonder how those skinny hulls do in rough head-seas while carrying that much weight of superstructure?

 

[cardude01]

Balsa? Like the wood? Site says hull is GRP, or is that over wood maybe?

Balsa cored I'm sure.

Slick Conversion

On the floats at Sayward BC Canada is this very nice conversion.

Looks like they striped everything out of her but at least a complete helm station remains. Everything else may too. I didn't spend much time looking. She floats so high aft I suspect a lot of weight was taken out of her.
Anchor is a nice and unmolested Northill. Don't often see them. Even the stock is original.
If you're interested I hope you can read the phone #.

Thank's boat healer.

$45K seems cheap to me.
Must be the wood boat phobia.

 

[Mako]

What kind of horizontal windlass is that? Obviously a commercial fabrication.

 

[Nomad Willy]

Mako,
Do you mean what brand?
Kolstrand in Ballard/Seattle makes these winches. And I think there are more manufacturers. But many or most are made in shops locally .. l believe.
You can see that this one is chain driven mostly to take advantage of the high torque of hydraulic motors. Looks like about a 4-1 reduction.

Fast forward to 21:55.

Where are you, Brett?

Real nice Willard 60

Claims to be a custom designed Willard. I like it except for lack of air conditioning and rather high asking price for a 1980 boat. But who needs air conditioning in the PNW? Never saw a nicer looking Willard. Almost strange to see a Willard without a canoe stern.

On a roll!

Wow. This 1929 Elco flat top is a beauty! Not sure I am understanding how to launch the dink. Load this baby up with solar panels and you can anchor out in peace and quiet.

Halvorson 1996 Hardtop Express

What do you folks think of this older Halvorson Express?
It looks a little cramped in the engine room but seems to have the cleanest Cat 3126 engines I've ever seen (not on a pallet). Broker has engine room photos but didn't post them for some reason...

Nice looking boat.

Lots of room for friends and family. However, it only has 400 gallons of water and I didn’t see a watermaker. Did I miss it? Also, 50 gallon holding tank won’t last if you fill up the three cabins.

 

[Nomad Willy]

Donsan here’s a nicer looking Willard.
Sorry but I don’t care for the one you posted at all.
Both of these boats were never production Willards. Willard was just the builder. Willard had nothing to do w the design.

For identification IMO the NA/designer should be called out and then .. built by ... .

Edid;
This boat is far from visual perfection too. One very unusual visual feature i invite you to find. What do you think I’m seeing?

 

[Nomad Willy]

What I had in mind was the perfectly straight spray rail.
Seems like the sort of thing a carpenter/owner would do.
But I like the curved pilothouse windows. I think all the 36 Willards had them.

I think the Willard built boat in post #69 has a Bellingham Wa history.

"Sea Fox" seen at the Eggemoggin Reach Regatta Brooklin, ME, yesterday. Lots of gorgeous classic sail boats but this is Trawler Forum.

 

[Nomad Willy]

David,
Looks like a boat from the 50’s.
Shoulda froze marine pleasureboat design at this point. No Nordhaven now or in the future will ascend to this level. She’s not perfect though.

 

[South of Heaven]

Interesting 38 foot woodie in Maine. The motor is shot....

And she’s a motorsailer! See the schooner rig on her bow [emoji3]

Mako gaff headed no-less.
Naw... can’t suck me in w that one.
For want of photoshop.

How about this Defever? Too big for us, but nice boat(? Volvos), and good value(for here). But, what is that device with the Aqua Base brand sticker, Water Maker?
