Thanks guys. I want something small so I can keep it in the garage. I DEFINITELY will pay to have it checked out. 16 ft open bow with a 70 hp and trolling motor in the front.

Columbia river eh....I heard crossing the bar there is one of the roughest places around...and you are correct , when two sailboats are going in the same direction , it’s a race!...lol

some of those damn trimarans go pretty fast , fast like 50-60 knots!....holy cow!

if I sail from portland to Hawaii, it’s pretty much running downwind all the way , put out a couple of whisker poles and spinnaker and from the videos I’ve watched , it’s a pretty easy passage and one makes good time...

just have a good wind vane and set it on autopilot and have a radar with a warning signal and it’s not to bad keeping watches as a single handed sailor..





Pute , get a Cape Dory

Yeah, the Columbia River Ilwaco bar has been labeled the graveyard of the Pacific because of all the wrecks. I was planning to move Illusions to Newport, to have easier shots out of the marina.

My blue water sailing experience is limited to out of Friday Harbor on a friend's ketch, though I did have an opportunity to help crew a boat back from one of the races to Honolulu. Alas the timing was poor and I couldn't.

You sailboat guys ever consider a yawl rigged boat? A buddy of mine saw a guy turn a 180 and BACK into a berth using nothing but the rear sail in a 30-something foot boat.

Not Moi! I have sailed on and like a ketch rigged boat, which is also double masted, but has the mizzen fore of the rudder post, where the yawl has it behind. I liked it a lot as it breaks up the individual sail sizes and makes it easier for one person to handle them.

Will a 16' boat trailer fit in your garage?

44F @ 89% RH, rain with 11/25 mph winds and predicted to reach 49F.

Oregon lawmakers holding special session, which will include addressing Oregon’s booming illegal cannabis growing industry.

A friend dropped by some dirty diamonds made by Pharmex from Ice Cream. Good taste and smell, with good effects.

Thanks Roster and GW. I will use the boat for fishing and just farting around. I have already checked Craigslist and found some vintage boats that fits my needs. I just don't know enough to keep from buying lemon.

Yes barely, my garage is 20' deep. Depends on the trailer. Might have to store it in a storage lot. Not really big on that though.

I would rent a fishing boat for a few days during summer 1st to see if you will really use a boat that much for now.
I got my last boat thinking I would have fun and blamo my back went south and Boat is rotting in back yard

Storage costs go on and on whether you are using the boat or not. You might consider a 14 or 15' instead, or a modified trailer to make it fit.

A good idea! It might also let you look at different designs. I have a 14' car top Aluminum Jon boat leaning against my garage for about last 5 years. Also a 5 hp Johnson with fuel tank languishing in storage.

Build a small extension. Just enuf for the hitch to be handy when you back the boat in. Back in The Day, I had a Boat/mo/trailer in a garage that had what amounted to a simple box on the door.
