historyfanatic Posted July 25, 2008 Share Posted July 25, 2008 The Lady Rose has undergone a bit of refitting over the last week. Still needs a little paint touch-ups and a few minor things, but for the most part she's ready for Pirates of Paynetown in a two weeks! Here are some pictures. New additions include a weighted leeboard in place of the keel she had last year, an extra jib sail, and painted mast and spars. In addition she has a new rigging system that works better than the old one. More efficient and less likely for me to smack my head with a yard whilst lowering sail. I think she still needs a bigger mainsail and a square sail would be cool and very efficient if I can figure out how to do it. She gets better with every overhaul! It's a real learning experience. Lots of trial and error... Hard to believe this started out as an aluminum speedboat... :) Next year she's gonna need all new sails... Blech! Pictures of the Lady Rose: New leeboard!

Capt. Bo of the WTF co. Posted July 26, 2008 Share Posted July 26, 2008 That looks alot like my White Trash sailboat project. Ain't got all the riggin though. Same kinda boat with an old Scorpion mast and sail. I haven't got a clue how to sail yet though. Maybe next year. Good work sir! Bo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
