    Testing, testing..

     

    This is a test to see if I can make a link work to open a PDF file in my folder directly. The change I have made is to run the long link address through  the Google URL shortener:

    I just picked «from gaff to Junk» as a test file:

    PS: It appears to work for me, at least. I wonder if some of you will try the link and see if the file opens.

    The H boat is a real beauty, a very slippery hull, she would really show the performance of the rig, especially as (I assume) there should be plenty of other H boats to race / sail against.

    Hope you have luck finding one.  (it would yet be another reason to come over to Norway

I must decide this summer as I can't hold (and pay for) a second berth for longer.
    Arne: there isn't a cat in hell's chance that this young lady will be your last boat.  You are far too curious and inventive for such fidelity!  Can you not sublet your berth until something else takes your fancy?

    Annie,

    I am down to one boat, as Broremann went to the Sandnes sea scouts, when I bought FS in 2012. I am unsure if Miss  Sørensen will be my last boat, or not. It depends if I can upgrade her a bit for cruising. The alternative is to find a keel boat in the 1.5ton range, maybe a H-boat. That boat has the looks, the seaworthiness and the speed. I must decide this summer as I can't hold (and pay for) a second berth for longer.

    So Admiral Arne is now reduced to two boats - is that right?  Or has Broremann found a new home, too.

    I can imagine you are looking forward to seeing Joanna under sail, having now seen her under power, for the first time.  :-)

    Lament to Johanna.

    Good bye Johanna, life will never be the same for those of us,  beguiled by your charms, your  grace, power and of course your camber.
    How could you Arne?

    A new berth on the finger pontoon - that girl she really does get around.
     
    So what will follow on, a new development perhaps with a new ' write up' by Arne?

    We wish you well, you taught us lots, good wishes, bon voyage, see you around.

    Open...

    ..and under LETTERS, look up "20140521 Goodbye to Johanna". Could I be right?

    PS 20140605: Here is a tentative shortened link directly to "goodbye to Johanna"

    Actually, yes, I was thinking of writing up my limited experience with hybrid aluminium-wood masts and add it to chapter 6, after the coming summer season. So far I can say that I find the method to be both cheap and easy, as long as I can find a tube of right size and of 6082-T6 alloy. The selection is not too good here, so the dimensions vary in quite big steps. Tubes for battens are easier to find.

    Arne

    PS, 2019: See Chapter 6B of TCPJR, here.
