TRNS

Seen everywhere.
My favourite kind of boat: one thats for sale.

Other peoples boats are lovely but none are quite as full of spine-tingling potential as one that could be yours.
This particular ray of sunshine is in Port Townsend, Washington. Shes well-loved and comes complete with trailer at a very reasonable $4,000.
Im delighted that I cant get her in my luggage as otherwise I might be tempted.
Eleven narrow strakes per side, no clench nails, just roves.
Shes planked in an unspecified cedar over oak. The various types of "cedar" are used a lot in planking American boats. Ive used Western Red Cedar and Yellow Cedar (neither of which are "real" cedars) and compared with Larch they seem soft. I have to swallow my prejudices though because Nip N Tuc was built before the end of the Second World War and shows only a few signs of wear to the planking.
If I look that good at 68 Ill be delighted.
