The designer says that the 'Shearwater' wooden boat for sale australia 50 produces -- "a conventional sailing dinghy of the more bboat type, with a generous sloop rig, a broader transom and a flatter run aft, with fairly firm bilges, so that she will have a higher potential speed and a more exciting sailing performance.

The hull shape is also ideal for use with an outboard motor She can be sailed single-handed in a moderate breeze without undue acrobatics; the ideal crew is two, but she'll take a third when necessary. Two adults and two kids is about the limit for sailing, although for fishing etc one extra can be fitted in. Her construction is of glued-ply clinker which the designer has deservedly made very popular, and which combines the appearance of a traditional clinker dinghy with the advantages of light weight, watertightness, and an easily-cleaned interior.

As with all hulls with this type of construction, Salty Dog can be sailed away immediately after launching, even if she hasn't been in the water for many months. Salty Dog's timbers are solid pacific maple with strakes from pacific maple ply, epoxy-fastened.

As her sustralia show, she has been made with loving attention to. Examples are in the handmade wooden cleats, belaying pins, and blocks, along with the pair of athwartships beams thoughtfully provided for transporting the spars. Her ancillary equipment includes One pair of oars, length 8'-4" Open bronze rowlocks to suit Danforth-style anchor Chain rode Mooring warp Sails and sail bag Registered, fully-adjustable Redco road trailer.

With her varnished spars, bright interior, and classic looks, Salty Dog will attract many envious looks at the launching ramp. But more importantly, she will furnish great sailing to a single-hander while providing a safe, comfortable sailing experience on the water for a young family.

Gentleman's Launch. Price of your own vessel on application. The hull is carvel built with selected full-length spotted gum planking, copper fastenings, cotton and oakum caulking, and a huon pine transom -- making it at the same time strong, durable, and beautiful.

This vessel has made an ideal motor cruiser, and the builder is now commencing further similar vessels to order. Please contact us if you would like your own bespoke Gentleman's Launch. Photographs of the completed vessel can be austrxlia by clicking on the picture or link.

Vessels listed below this line have been sold or withdrawn from sale. For various reasons boats that have been withdrawn might again become available, and it could still be worthwhile asking about.

Her fine entry allows her to slip along easily under oars, while her flat bottom means she is both stable and burdensome. There is some rocker in the bottom planking which makes her readily manouverable under oars, while a skeg at the stern keeps her tracking properly.

If fitted with an wooden boat for sale australia 50 trolling motor as recommended by the designer, or perhaps a low-powered wooden boat for sale australia 50 motor neither is providedshe can slip along comfortably with no fuss whatever -- although of course her flat bottom disqualifies her from use in open water if winds are producing rough seas. The transom is NZ kauri, the thwarts American ash with wicker inserts, the gunwales oregon Douglas firand the oars radiata pine.

There is unfortunately some damage to the wicker insert of the after thwart, as shown in the photographs. There are also a few spots of minor scuffing on the bottom, one example of which is shown. However, the entire hull has no structural damage -- and indeed detail photographs show that this boat has been well-designed, well-built, and well looked-after all her life. She is only now for sale because her original owner passed away recently.

Along with the vessel herself, included in the sale are Note that with this vessel's light weight there is need for neither a road trailer nor for the use of a launching ramp. You simply transport her on the roof of a car to where you want to go, carry her by hand from the car to the water's edge, and then launch her, all exactly as though she wooden boat for sale australia 50 a kayak.

And because of her light weight she can be easily and safely stored salw of the way, suspended from the rafters in a carport or garage. Hull weight lb rigged, approx.

The designer says of her -- "She is a big boat, as dinghies go; she will happily carry five or six people under sail The hull form is reasonably full-ended, with plenty of flare; the run is fairly flat and the transom relatively wide, to give her a good performance in planing or semi-displacement sailing, without being too broad and flat aft Construction is of glued-ply clinker for which the designer is well-knownwhich combines the clinker appearance of a traditional dinghy with the advantages of light weight and watertightness -- boag does not have to wait half a day after launching for the timber to swell and the hull to 'take up' before sailing away.

Timbers are gaboon ply and hoop pine, epoxy-fastened, with a transom of New Guinea rosewood. The mainmast has special above- and wooden boat for sale australia 50 support channels which make it easy to slide the foot of the mast down into its step on the keel, where a through-bolt locks it into position.

The mizzen mast, being lighter and with a shorter bury, is also easily stepped. Both masts are unstayed. All this makes for quick and simple rigging of the vessel from a 'standing start' at the boat ramp. Sheets, halyards, tackline, and centreboard control line are all located within reach of the helm, and the tiller is provided with an extension, which together mean that Mooltan can be readily sailed single-handed.

A nice touch is the removable bboat wooden boat for sale australia 50 for the thwarts especially useful if wooden boat for sale australia 50 about fishing. Note that the centreboard is of marine ply, and wooden boat for sale australia 50 of having lead or other weight added to allow it to be lowered, a line arrangement is used to both lower and raise it. A removable anchor locker is fitted under the foredeck and a large storage locker in the sternsheets.

She is a credit to both her designer and her builder. Sea Kayak. This boat has only been in the water four of five times, and is in as-new condition.

The designer says of 'Mole', "Though obviously a smooth-water boat, the very fine entry and constant flare enable her to handle a bit of wind-blown chop or the wake of a large power boat, going a little too fast, with surprising ease. The low freeboard australja long keel minimise wooen effect of a side-wind. With the fine lines and narrow waterline beam she moves through the water astonishingly fast, with practically no effort on the oars.

This vessel is fitted with a rudder managed using yoke lines by a helmsman seated on the after thwart; but the rudder can be entirely removed or perhaps the yoke lines cleated off if the oarsman is the sole occupant. An ornate and comfortable backrest with a unique Wedgwood 'Medusa' design is provided for use by the helmsman and goes beautifully with the carved transom; this backrest can also be readily removed if desired.

Although in excellent condition when purchased by her present owner see the last picture on her photo pageshe has nevertheless been given a new full surface treatment inside and out by Sydney Harbour Boat Builders, and now looks as though she's about to be launched for the first time. This lovely vessel comes australis with jackstaff, spoon oars, australiia cover, auustralia road trailer, painter, and two life-jackets.

And she is in addition the perfect vessel for a leisurely picnic for two, on the river, under the willows. All you will need is the wicker luncheon-basket Two Kayaks. Apart from individual wear patterns the two vessels are essentially identical, the main difference being the omission of a cockpit coaming in one of the boats for ease of portage.

Both kayaks were built to the same construction standards, using the same construction methods. Stringers, hogs, keels, and deck beams wooden boat for sale australia 50 from close-grained oregon. The fore-decks and after-decks are of 10oz. The cockpits are fitted with marine ply burden boards.

Both kayaks come with feathered double paddles, which are also complete with drip rings. These vessels have been well-used and bear some battle-scars accordingly.

However, repairs have been carefully undertaken as required witness the dutchman in one of the photosand fibreglass tape has been added to the chines on one vessel to provide additional hull protection.

While wooden boat for sale australia 50 vessels are ready for immediate launching, some preparation in the form of sanding, varnishing, and painting would of course have them looking their best. These are vintage vessels.

They have proved themselves to be tough and serviceable for nearly half a century, and szle is every reason to believe that with proper care they can go on doing so for many more years to come.

Finally, please note that the owner is providing one laminated and one plain copy of the working drawing as part of the sale.

This will enable the new purchaser to readily provide a coaming for the second vessel if desired. This figure is now the genuine sale price for both kayaks.

Ocean Light. The boat was [cosmetically] 'dressed down' to suit the style of movie and can be seen as such when the abandoned baby washes ashore in her I purchased the boat from the production company and finally got time this year to bring it back to what she originally was, which is what I feel I owed Lionel.

Abstract:

So get aboard a normal gulet, about an in. We can't have the improved great crony or believer. Place a stringer so as to symbol a climb of 7. Safeguard which her hold up coupler matches correctly.

With keel stepped masts, inspect for corrosion at the base of the mast. Check the mast for trueness. Some sailors prefer tillers on boats under 35' as there is less to go wrong and installing most windvane steering systems is less complicated than with wheel steering. Many Taiwanese-built steering systems suffer from poor initial design, inferior bronze castings and rudders that aren't able to hold up to the stresses of ocean sailing.

The location of the steering position is also important. If the wheel is mounted at the far aft end of the cockpit, it may be very hard to design a dodger that will provide protection to the helmsperson without resorting to a long, potentially unseaworthy design. Nigel Calder makes a clear argument as to why he prefers aft cockpit design. I can make a reasonable argument for either design, but personally prefer a center cockpit in boats over 40'' as long as the cockpit isn't unduly high off the water.

Some designers try to maximize engine room and interior volume, resulting in this problem. Some of the advantages I see to a center cockpit include more privacy, better engine access and less danger of the cockpit being filled from following breaking seas. The ideal stern for a cruising boat includes a built-in swim step on a slightly reversed transom stern.

This not only makes getting in and out of the water and dinghy easy, but allows easy access when moored stern-to a dock or wall, a common situation in less developed cruising areas. Double enders may look salty, but the loss of valuable, hard-to-replace lazarette storage area and buoyancy aft must be taken into consideration. Most double enders have a tendency to "squat" in the stern and hobbyhorse sailing to windward when loaded with cruising gear.

Being able to maintain at least six knots under power will get you in most passes and channels at the time of least current. A rule of thumb is two horsepower per thousand pounds of displacement for a sufficiently powered cruising sailboat.

Purists may say that this is excessive, but in my experience it has been an advantage to have sufficient power to deal with currents and the ability to motorsail to windward for short distances into steep chop when necessary.

How good is everyday access? Can the water pump be removed without dismantling the engine? Can the engine be removed if necessary for rebuilding without having to destroy the cockpit or companionway? What is the fuel consumption and range under power? Ideally the boat you are considering will have a common make of engine that will be easy to find parts and service for in less-developed cruising areas. Best manufactures for worldwide parts availability are Volvo, Perkins, Caterpillar, and Cummins.

When I bought my Hallberg-Rassy 31, I thought the 25 hp diesel engine was excessive for a displacement of only 9, lbs, but the top speed of 7. My 42' ketch displaced 25, pounds and was powered with a 62 hp engine which proved very adequate in areas like Patagonia, Antarctica and Alaska where conditions dictated powering for weeks at a time, encountering strong currents and tidal rips and fierce catabatic winds daily. My present 48', 38, lb boat has a 95 hp.

I have supplemented standard fuel tankage with jerry jugs stowed in cockpit lockers with each of these boats. Make sure you really enjoy and know how to sail.

Complete an offshore passage. Realistically assess your needs in terms of size of boat and amount of equipment. If you're outfitting and cruising on a budget, remember the KISS formula. More complicated systems mean more money and maintenance, repairs and spare parts to track down. Think moderate in terms of displacement and sail area.

You'll want to hire a surveyor who has no vested interest in the transaction, other than making sure that the boat you're considering is safe and a good investment for you. Marine Insurance companies and banks are often able to recommend surveyors whose opinions they trust.

Sail on as many different designs as possible and take notes on the features you like and dislike, noting pluses and minuses of each. Joining a sailing club or chartering different can be helpful. If you are quite convinced that you want a specific boat, a one-week charter on a sistership will be a sound investment. Also available from Armchair Sailor.

Surveying Fiberglass Sailboats - Henry C. Mustin, International Marine, Since I have professionally consulted for hundreds of people seeking cruising boats. My experience in the marine industry is unique; , miles and 38 years worldwide ocean sailing experience plus boatbuilding, surveying and previously owning a yacht brokerage. As my time available for consultation is limited, it is only appropriate that I charge for this service.

Christoph Rassy started building production sailboats on Sweden's West Coast in with the Rasmus 35, a center-cockpit, aft cabin cruising boat designed by Olle Enderlein. Dozens of these boats are still out cruising the world, and the designs that followed have consistently been comfortable, attractive and reasonably fast; very reliable cruising boats without any concession to racing design or passing tends. Large tankage and engines and fixed windshields with optional hardtops are common features and consistently high construction quality has resulted in steadily increasing value of these boats over the years.

The Frers designs brought improved performance with longer waterlines and other features such as external lead ballast, semi-balanced rudders and a sloop rigs. Having sailed , miles on Rassy-Enderlein designed HR 31 and 42, I was eager to test the sailing performance the new Frers-designed 39, 42, 46 and 53, and the difference in both light and heavy air performance was surprising.

The larger water plane area aft means these boats can sail to windward in strong winds and seas with very little pitching motion.

Before selecting a Hallberg-Rassy 46 to replace the older-style Rassy-Enderlein designed HR 42 which we sailed 70, miles over seven years of sail-training, Amanda and I traveled around the world inspecting boat yards and speaking with designers.

He is an avid sailor commissioning a personal boat every few years to cross the Atlantic, trading off with his employees for time aboard. Many of the employees have been with the yard for over 30 years, and boatbuilding is a family tradition carried out on the island of Orust for over 10, years, according to archaeologists. The entire yard closes for four weeks each summer allowing employees to go cruising on their own boats.

We gave very little consideration to a custom design, having watched dozens of our ex-students go through the time and cost overruns and seemingly unending teething problems of custom boats. Purchasing a used boat and going through a major refit was something I had done three times previously.

After careful evaluation, we took the major step for us of ordering a new HR 46, exactly the way we wanted it. I was particularly pleased to be purchasing hull 92 of the design, and to know that the yard had completed 8, boats to date.

Between the time we ordered the boat and it was built, the yard incorporated several standard upgrades which they did not charge extra for. Construction There are many construction details that I've found to be excellent, and in some cases unique to Hallberg-Rassy. This list highlights some of the most noteworthy features: Optional rigid dodgers with opening center windows on the 42 to Once you've made a rough ocean passage with a rigid dodger, you'll never want to go back to a canvas dodger that can be easily carried away.

Permanent sun protection is also a consideration in these days of ozone depletion and high rates of skin cancer. Two bow rollers are standard, and the boat handles the weight of a 75 lb. CQR and 44 lb. Delta permanently stored on the bow. The powerful watt, 24 volt Lofrans vertical windlass has worked flawlessly, even in 90' depths.

Oversize thru-bolted mooring cleats including midship spring-line cleats mounted on top of the solid teak toerail in such away that chafe is minimalized. Hull-to-deck joint that does not rely on bolts, screws, rivets or adhesive for strength or watertightness. The joint is heavily glassed on the inside the entire way around the boat and solid stainless steel rods for mounting stanchions are recessed into the bulwark thus eliminating potential leaks so common when stanchion bases are thru-bolted.

A strong hull utilizing isophtalic resin and Divinycell closed-cell PVC insulation above the waterline. I believe this an excellent construction technique for a cruising boat, providing a hull with excellent torisional stability and no chance of water absorption.

I really like the fact that the yard takes the time to grind the inside of the hull and bilge smooth, and paint it with a gray topcoat. This means no sliced or scraped fingers from errant fiberglass strands when installing equipment or cleaning.

All interior lockers are lined with satin-varnished mahogany battens. This eliminates moisture and condensation problems, even when we are sailing in Antarctic or Arctic waters. Very careful osmotic blister protection. I have spent much of the past 22 years in tropical waters aboard my HR boats without blister problems. This may be due in part to the fact that the hulls are built under strictly controlled temperature and humidity conditions.

A deck that will not leak! The deck also utilizes Divinycell coring which does not have the water absorption problems I've seen on many boats with balsa-cored decks. A substantial structural grid fiberglassed to the hull made of hand-laid fibreglass that ties the bulkheads, mast support and engine beds together and divides up the large storage areas below the cabin sole.

I have come to prefer this deck-stepped mast design as it eliminates leaks where the mast comes through the deck, corrosion at the mast base and deck collar, and the inevitable water in the bilge from rain entering around masthead sheaves. A simple and efficient sloop rig minimizing foredeck clutter.

Over 40 knots upwind we easily rig the removable inner stay on which we set a bullet-proof hank-on storm staysail. Running backstays provide additional mast stability. In winds over knots, we drop the triple-reefed main and hoist a storm trysail. We have only had to hoist the trysail twice while in the Roaring Forties, during our 42, miles to date on our Substantial stainless tanks with gallons fuel including an optional gallon tank and gallons water are mounted above the keel, and below the cabin sole, creating roomy storage space below the main cabin settees.

The tanks are installed after the deck is constructed and are easily removed without having to destroy interior joinery work. A powerful yet economical 95 hp engine with excellent access from all sides and plenty of room for additional systems.

Massive amounts of storage area are available below the cabin sole and on the 46 it runs to nearly 3' deep at the main bulkhead. We have five large Rubbermaid bins screwed to the grid system and filled with spares and food.

A boat with a flatter underbody would surf better downwind but have reduced storage space and prove less comfortable going to windward in heavy weather. A semi-balanced rudder suspended on three sets of roller bearings and utilizing Whitlock torque-tube and bevel gear Mamba steering system gives fingertip control, even in heavy seas.

I was initially concerned that the design didn't have a full-length skeg, but after 42, miles, the "power-steering" effect of being semi-balanced is addictive, requiring far less rudder input and effort. The rudder post is solid stainless steel, tapered at the bottom and the substantial welded flanges are also tapered stainless steel. A substantially deep bilge and sump with external lead ballast with stainless keel bolts. A convenient swim step built into the reverse transom.

We find this type of transom unbeatable for active cruising. Not only does this make getting out of the water after snorkeling and swimming easier, it is also makes practicing the Lifesling Overboard Retrieval system easier. Mooring stern-to floating docks or boarding from a dinghy with this type of transom is a breeze!

Layout Although few changes are allowed to the standard layouts, the yard has several optional layouts for each cabin. We cut and pasted layouts from the brochure until we had the combination we thought would work best for eight people on ocean passages in all conditions. We opted for a four-cabin layout with upper and lower bunks in the cabin directly forward of the main bulkhead, a traditional v-berth forward, standard L-shaped settees in the main cabin instead of easy chairs.

In the aft cabin we chose a double to starboard and single berth to port in the aft cabin, instead of a centerline double.

Options We chose far fewer options than most 46 owners: no generator, air conditioning furling main, electric winches, hydraulic furling systems or bow thruster.

In retrospect, the bow thruster is a good idea on a boat of this size and displacement, and we will probably install one when we sail back to New Zealand in Instead of the optional generator, we installed a total of four 8-D gel batteries for the 24 volt system and three Group 27 one starting, two house gel batteries for the 12 volt systems. We replaced the standard alternator with a Balmar amp, 24 volt unit and retained the stock 50 amp, 12 volt alternator.

We chose not to utilize solar panels, and have found that one hour per day of engine running in the tropics is sufficient for battery charging. Instead of air conditioning, we had the yard install ten Hella Turbo fans , one for each bunk, plus additional fans in the heads, galley and nav station.

A friend who had just completed a three-year South Pacific cruise aboard his HR 42 with the factory-installed Frigoboat evaporator system convinced me to try it, saying that with over 3, of the units installed, the yard really knew what they were doing. A bonus was that the cost was a fraction of the holding plate system. We have been delighted with how well this very simple system has worked, holding the freezer at 10 degrees F. I had the factory install Autohelm ST series instrumentation that has worked well.

I chose to install the Max prop and insulated backstay upon commissioning in Seattle, thinking it would be less expensive. In retrospect, I now really believe that the factory only charges cost their cost for options and recommend that anyone purchasing an HR have the factory install as much of the optional gear as possible. In only 28 days of work from the time our Hallberg-Rassy 46 was unloaded from the freighter in Seattle, Amanda, a friend and I commissioned the boat and were ready for our 10, mile shakedown series of sail-training voyages to New Zealand.

As such she comes with all gear presently on board, including all owner's records since launch, and a tender is also included in the price. The price itself is very low -- anything but a reflection of the vessel's quality, but an unfortunate consequence of the necessity for her sale. Clinker dinghy. Construction is entirely of classic Australian boatbuilding timbers. The huon pine planking is completed with contrasting king billy pine sheerstrakes, on celery-top pine backbone and frames.

Transom and stem are of huon pine. Quarter knees, standing knees, and breasthook are all made from grown huon pine crooks. The thwarts are of king billy pine, while the burden boards are swamp gum. She is fully copper-fastened, being fitted with bronze rowlocks and rudder fittings, and with brass half-oval on the keel, bilge runners, and stem.

The interior below the rising is painted, while the remainder of the vesel is finished bright all over. The balanced lug sailing rig includes mast, yard, boom, timber centreboard and rudder, and a traditional cream-coloured sail. Fans of Arthur Ransome will immediately recognise the similarity of this vessel to the Amazon of his 'Swallows and Amazons' stories. This is a classic traditional sailing dinghy, not only destined to repay her new owner's investment several-fold by providing many decades of pleasurable enjoyment, but perhaps indeed by also becoming a family heirloom to be passed down to future generations.

The only visible damage is a chip on the land of a port-side strake, which could be filled if desired or simply left as is. Also noted was the addition of a spare mast, and the fact that the trailer is fitted with a pulpit at the front to which screens are lashed to protect the hull from damage by stone chips while being towed. Pocomoke kayak. A second waterproof hatch in the forward bulkhead provides access for a small storage bag suitable for car keys, phone, etc.

This kayak is in superb condition, requiring no further work whatever. The two folding stands shown in the photos are included in the price. Presently located in Canberra, she will shortly be moved to Adelaide unless sold beforehand. Sails -- Full locker of sails plus spares including roller-furling headsail, all serviceable.

She is a fine-lined ultralight sharpie skiff. Her designer's key criteron was to produce a stable vessel that could be rowed, sailed, or powered, performing the functions of four boat types -- a canoe, a fishing boat, a rowing boat, and a sailing boat.

While this particular vessel has not been set up for sailing, she can perform all the other functions with ease. Along with the vessel herself, included in the sale are -- 4 oars, with leathers 4 ring rowlocks, 2 chocked 2 open rowlocks 1 life-jacket and there is even some touch-up paint for the scuffing on the bottom Note that with this vessel's light weight there is need for neither a road trailer nor for the use of a launching ramp.

NSW Taree Sail areas approx -- Main -- sq ft Mizzen -- 30 sq ft Spar lengths-- Mainmast -- 19'-6" Mizzen mast -- 12'-6" Main yard -- 11'-9" Main boom -- 11'-0" Mizzen boom -- 6'-0" Bumkin -- 6'-3" Mooltan is a fine example of Iain Oughtred's 'Fulmar' day-sailer design.

She is rigged as a balanced-lug ketch with a sprit-boomed mizzen. The mizzen is small and stepped right aft, so that Mooltan could be mistaken for a yawl at a distance.

While the mainsail provides most of the drive, the mizzen both provides balance and acts as a very useful manouvering sail in tight places as, for example, around a boat ramp. Mooltan makes a fine, capacious launch when powered only by her outboard motor. Note that as a sailing dinghy she was not designed with rowing capability as a priority, and is not set up for that purpose.

She is however provided with regulation paddles in the unlikely event that both sailing rig and outboard become inoperable simultaneously. Acillary equipment includes -- Registered road trailer Outboard motor 2hp 4-stroke Honda Electric bilge pump Danforth-style anchor Chain rode Nylon mooring warp Two 4' aluminium-shaft canoe paddles PFDs -- 2 adult, 1 child Sail bag Complete set of design drawings Mooltan is a genuinely beautiful sailing vessel that rightly won the People's Choice Award at the Inverloch Classic Wooden Dinghy Regatta.

Vic Gippsland Coast This sea kayak is the second made by this builder to the design of Nick Schade's 'Night Heron'. This is the "high deck" version of the design, which allows the paddler a little more room under the foredeck. This vessel is of hybrid construction -- that is, the hull is of marine ply, while the deck is strip-built in cedar and balsa.

This combination makes for both a rugged, lightweight, and beautiful design. The lines of this kayak are somewhat after those of the vessels used by the Inuit people of Greenland and Northern America, which have a raised bow and stern to provide trapped-air buoyancy in rough seas.

Unlike those traditional kayaks though, both ends of this vessel are in fact airtight, the spaces under both the afterdeck and the forward end of the foredeck being completely sealed. An access hatch to storage under the afterdeck is provided behind the paddler's seat. This is a very stable boat that tracks well and can be pushed quickly through the water, while still being readily manouverable owing to having some slight rocker in the keel.

To assist further with steering in rough seas, the builder has also provided a pedal-operated rudder. The rudder provides some minor lateral stability as well as steering assistance, adding a further 8" to the draft.

Note that the entire steering sytem -- rudder, stock, yoke, tiller lines, and pedals -- can be removed if desired, leaving the streamlining of the underbody unmarred, and with only the stainless steel rudder trunk left in situ through the hull. Ancillary equipment includes a feathered carbon fibre wing paddle in carry-bag , a spray apron, and closed-cell foam seat cushions.

But her size was especially chosen to be a few feet shorter than the traditional 20'' skiff to allow her to be both easily handled by one person while quite capable of carrying three, and also to allow of car-topping if necessary.

Construction is glued clinker ply, for which Oughtred's designs are famous. NSW Blue Mountains These are two almost-identical historic kayaks.

He published an account of his adventures, "Sailing Alone Around the World," in Slocum and his circumnavigation inspired many later sailors, and his sloop a host of new vessels called Spray.
