Re: launch/refit report
Peter,
By the way, Bob Wise mentioned once that they used to anchor Loose
Moose II (the first AS-39) stern-to.
Also by the way - thanks for calling it the "Master Stateroom"! Now
I need to come up with an appropriate term for the setees where the
kids sleep. Maybe something grand like "starboard and port guest
quarters". Or humble like "foc'sle" or "gun deck" or "orlop deck."
And the cabin sole where they spread out the hotwheels and crafts
should be called the "entertainment promenade"

Well, I haven't really tried this with much wind, but the night we
did it, there was more noise from the bow than the stern, since wind
was off of the shore and the bow was facing the channel. Another
concern is the rudder gets pushed around a bit when anchored stern-
to, so real waves might do real damage...

One of your pictures has a caption about anchoring stern to and
your concern about wave slap.Considering that the master stateroom is
aft,that would appear to put your head very close to the point of
contact with the waves,no? Also,since she is broader in the stern
then up forward,there is that much more surface area for the waves to
slap upon.
Anyway,maybe the layout isn't exactly per plan,so this is just
an idle thought from me.
Continued success with your repair work and many happy sails!!

Great pictures of a lovely looking boat! If we didn't know
better,we'd say she was brand spanking new!

We launched AS-29 Alisa a few weeks ago and had a nice weekend
overnighter. The chine repairs went well. The only remaining hull
work that remains is to seal some leaks in the bilgeboard trunks.
