Re: [bolger] I-60 folding question
I think that the punch card on your fun license should be checked for
over use. One of the most educational parts of the recitation of your
recreational adventures is that you have them in an area that I always
thought it was impossible to have any kind of outdoor experience, least
of all a hunter gatherer one. I guess life in or near the big city isn't
as bad as I have always assumed.

Peter, et al --
Neither Sue nor I made any inquiry or request regarding
entering/exiting the cabin while the boat is folded.
At this point we have no more to go on than you. My read of the
concept sketches suggests that when the aft section is folded over
the top, it may well clear the aft entrance to the cabin. Of course
both masts would be in there with you, so I'm not sure how useful the
cabin would be.
We did request a double birth, and PCB&F said they expect be able to
accommodate that. Sue thinks that inside steering would be nice, and
for my purpose I think an aft placement of the power plant would be
nice. But as I've noodled both ideas around, it looks like either
could easily spoil the folding function. I've asked PCB&F if they
think either idea would be worthwhile and/or workable.
Needless to say, I'm quite eager to see the next iteration.
Supposedly she'll be seven feet at the chine, rather than the six
shown in the MAIB cartoon. An extra foot doesn't seem like much, but
I took out my college physics text and was surprised to see how much
of an effect it could have on the boat's stiffness. I wonder if
she'll now have plumb sides, or more simply be a wider version of the
cross section shown in MAIB.
All will be revealed in due time. Meanwhile my Gull is keeping me
quite amused, and yesterday we had a lovely day of fishing and
claming in the LSME.

A question for you ambitious tri-folding schoonerists: is it going to
be 1) easy, 2) possible but difficult, 3) impossible to get in/out of
the cabin with the boat folded?
PHV (who heard that Leander has gotten some schoonering in this
summer, and who remembers the wonderful WHOOSH when the sheets were
started)
