Princess Sharpie 22 - Sprit vs Boom rigging

[Charlie Jones]

It's an "Ultimate" hat. Very like a Tilley. Got it for my 60th birthday when we were at Strictly Sail in Chicago displaying our boats.

Tom,

As a volunteer fireman I occasional respond to a situation where an out-of-state truck has wandered onto the local parkway, which is cars only due to the low bridges. The truck will be wedged under the bridge with the roof peeled. The truck gets freed by deflating the tires. So, that little trick may be what I may need to do to get my garage clearance, but I'm hoping for a solution that will not require it.

Charlie,

I wear my Tilley hat whenever I'm aboard a sailboat. Great hat.

Seems at that that point where I will order a set of study plans for the PS22. I won't be doing anything for at least a year. Need to focus on getting the Caravelle 14 finished. I already have the hull made (stitch & glue construction with okoume marine plywood) and centerboard trunk mounted. Next steps are finishing the seating area, flipping the boat and applying 7oz fiberglass cloth. Weather is starting to get nice, so it's time to get started.
