Chrysler 26 "Harmony" at the ready in our driveway. |
Looking at trailered C26 from bow. Winch is approx. 5' off ground. Look close and you can see a narrow boarding ladder I added for climbing up the bow when launching. |
Only a fool would own a Chrysler - and a damned fool (that's me) owns 2!! |
Anchor's set, bimini's up, it's time to relax. |
The cosy warmth of wood-tone laminates and razor sharp cabinet corners. |
Love that retro poly plaid and vinyl tuck and roll. |
Our first trailer sailor - a MacGregor 25 - at the dock on Prudence Island, Narr. Bay. |
Chrysler 26 topside living at its best. Note Bimini top. Its an aluminum frame, vinyl Taylor-Made. $199 from West Marine. |
A shortlived fling with an Arrowhead 25 Trimaran. Neat boat, but needed too much love. It's back with the builder in Warren, RI. |
Chrysler 22 "Joyous" in Coggeshall Cove, Narr. Bay at sunset. |
The whole rig. Long(r) yoke-style roller trailer (6000# capacity) with extended winch stand and homebuilt ladder. |
Portside view showing discoloration in coaming from old repair. Red and Green lines are halyards led back to cockpit. Bimini frame is mounted to perfed toerail (no holes in deck). |
Cockpit shot showing tiller (59.95 from West Marine '97). Backstay with adjuster is lying on floor for towing. |
It's hurricane season - Do you know where your boat is? (mine's at home on the trailer as usual) On the rocks under Newport Bridge '92. |
Joy's own berth aboard Harmony. |
Forward lower shrouds on Harmony have a quick-release feature of my own design - W.E.D.M.'d from 1/4" 304 stainless steel). Needed for fast set-up of mast. |
Raising the mast using the B.F.I. method. Person on bow is not assisting, but is wondering whether to call my chiropractor or 911. |
Shot of mast, boom, mainsail. Main is new this year. |
Cockpit shot showing lazaret hatch aft of tiller. |
Been there, done that. A Bayliner Trophy 23. It's for sale by the way. |
A shady spot aboard Harmony. The bimini was originally bought for the Mac25. It's been on 3 boats so far. |
