I looked a little at a 30 foot Etchells keel boat that a friend
has for sale cheap.� I once had an idea of converting one of
these Etchells from a one-design daysailer into an overnighter.
Kind of like putting a bed and hotplate into your Porsche and
making it into a camper.� Plum crazy but I am running alternately
hot and cold on the idea this weekend.� Marjorie is running more
on the cold side.
The Etchells mast is stepped on the keel. The bow and stern are
bulkheaded to make air tanks for flotation. There is not much
room left and the "cabin" would only be an open-backed shelter
with slightly more room that the underside of our dining room
table. Mounting an outboard is a problem.
This is what we were looking at in the rain on Saturday. Is
there a 12-point program somewhere?
