Better?



Include Duane's light tower, which is a really nice mod. No bimini. Should have a yacht ensign off the stern, though.

I take off mast during summer here in SW Florida due to low winds and able to launch and retrieve in a day trip.
I still need a steading sail as the rock and roll of other boats and wave conditions.
A mastrig on a short permit mast about 4 ft. in height on a hinge for a 15 ft. mast that has a boom 6ft. length.(much like the Compac Suncat)
The Mast would be supported by aft stearn bracket and boom would be secured to mast when lowered.
One can have a full dodger and Bimini with standing headroom.
The 15 ft. mast would be easy to haul into position with no spreaders and two side stays but no backstay with one old fart lifting it.
Sail is the 8 oz and used for steading so no pocket in belly to windward.
Winds abeam or aft will make waves handle much better. No need for reefing on small sail.
Just a thought

Spot on, excellent owe you a beer/pizza

Now make it square and the size of the other avatars!

Here we go with this again.

Personally, I like the humor of the Waterbago. There is honor in being able to laugh at one self. I would proudly fly it from Nice Aft's aft.

NiceAft,
I agree, but that's coming from "Y.B.NORMAL"

Since it has little height, it's kind of small when the width is cut down to 30 pixels.



Maybe cutting the OB off the back can help a little.

Looks like it needs a pale yellow background, or transparent.

Edit: One for the owners, too.

It needs a dodger , just to have something above the deck , but the tower looks very good !!

Who do I have to pay to get a vote for the OLD boats avatar. ----------------------------------------------

Ventures are boats too ya know!

Better yet, who can I get to pay me????

Can we put it on the right as an avatar ?

As far as I'm concerned, you can do anything you want with it. Community property, or something like that. JohnCFI has the non-dodger version (near the top of this page) as his.

Er, unless you meant at the right of the compose/edit window, which is above my pay grade.

All I did was save the pic to my desktop, resize so its 80 pixels wide, then upload image from desktop, in the control panel as an avatar..

I did feel a bit naughty being the first to sport it, but couldn't resist the temptation....
