Winter Storage/Project List

Decided I couldn't take watching Josephine take a beating in Gas House anymore and moved her down to Alameda. 

Sean and Brock hooked me up with a cheaper slip, then Brock loaned me his outboard to make the delivery quick and easy. And thankfully he did, there was no wind and the wrong tides...

I was out of my sublet in March anyway. Plus, I have a big list of things to do this winter:

Cabin cleat repair 

Install Two more cleats

Double end out haul

Hatch handle - silly thing just broke off. Anyone how to replace those cheap?

Back stay project

Phenolic on aft teak

Drop keel, rebed and replace keel bolts

Seal, paint attach new rudder

Paint mast - we're thinking camouflage?

Plus some other top secret James Bond kind of stuff...

sorry, no pictures today.

Too busy trying to sort out using an outboard. Seriously, first time ever using one on any boat I've ever owned. We only crashed once. No coffee was spilled. 

Fwd: Maine Folkboat

It's nice to have friends access to knowledge.

This is what I could find on that boat, with my interpretations above each table:

Baad

The boat was built in 1948 by the Børresen boat yard in Vejle. They are quite respectable boat builders.

Sejl nr.	Bygget af	Bygge år	Plakette	Bygge nr.	Vægt	Comment
37	Børresens Bådebyggeri, Vejle	1948

Baad navne

The name of the boat is Chica, this apparently has not been changed while it was in DK.

År	Bådnavn
1947	Chica

Baad Ejere

Below a table of the various owners the boat has had in Denmark

År	Ejer	By	Land
1948	Schött Poulsen	7100 Vejle	DK
1956	Peter Ravn	7000 Fredericia	DK
1958	P. J. Lundberg	8000 Århus	DK
1961	J. Smedegaard Andersen	8000 Århus	DK

1979	B. Hyldegaard Pedersen	4773 Stensved	DK
1983	Freddy S. Pedersen	2620 Albertslund	DK

Kapsejladser

And the races the boat has raced. Looks like it was quite active under the first 2 owners, but then hasn't raced since.

The link to the database is:

http://base.folkebaadsdatabasen.dk/

If you want to search by sail number (Danish only) choose baad and type in the number

If you want to search by boat name choose Baadnavn and type in the boatname

If you want to search by owner (and see all the boats a particular sailor has owned) choose baadejer and type in the boatowner's name

Kapsejladser refers to races, but that one would be more tricky and less interesting for you

Take care,

Ditte

Thanks Ditte :)

Danish Folkboat Turns up in Maine

Ok kids, it's solve a mystery time. Here's the story:

Hi Eric,
I was trying to find some info on folkboats and stumbled onto your blog . I hope you can help. I recently rescued a folkboat from a local boatyard that was going to cut her up. She is in pretty good shape for her age. I hope to find out more from her past. I could not find any makings inside, but the mainsail # is dk f 37 also will attach a few pict.

Thanks ,
