The mast most definitely does not step onto the keel that’s even counter intuitive. Imagine the keel bolts trying to push against the mast as well. The mast is normally well forward of the keel. This box is a bilge sump.
That very large monohull is a gaff rigged schooner . You can tell by the double booms on the masts. Way too much work for us plebs ..lol Thanks for the yard tour and video.
This was a bit of fun to watch. Needless to say Gracious 60ft sunreef wont be getting chartered by me for the $$$$$ they advertise charter at and Schooner Ruth is way younger than expected- some fab vids online of her sailing. Make this a regular vid whenever u r hauled out.
You don't need to guess the age of the boat. There is a serial number that is engraved into the hull on the transom. The last two digits of which is the year of manfacture.
great vid per usual, thanks gor posting - im in the process of trying to find a 2005 -10 ish cat from a boatyard - one whereby the owner has had enough where there any in this boatyard that you noticed? do you have the contact info to the boatyard to see if any are available thanks in advance Dan most appreciated!!!
