She can also be taken to a new area by trailer and returned to her safe home on the side yard under cover. Just what the old boy needs!

Since 1978 I have been fortunate to sail wooden boats. In 2006 I set out to find a Drascombe Longboat Cruiser for single-handed expedition sailing. This is the continuing story of how it came to be, our adventures, notes on the maritime world and other things I don't want to forget...

Thin Water Sailing
Centerboard boats open up a lot of shallow water that cannot be visited by deep-keeled bluewater yachts. Plenty has been written about this realm... 'gunkholeing', 'creeksailing', etc. Annie, with her 1 foot (board up) draft can frequent many remote areas as well as work coastal offshore waters (board down at 3'6").
