Thanks, yes we still have her. The hull is really nicely made. Ours is extremely fair and still has the original gel coat. There is a nice structure connecting the shroud tangs to the mast base, so no issues there. Our deck was redone in 1982, and is still going strong, but a previous owner must have spent a lot on that. The prop shaft is unsupported after it exits the hull. Our prop was about 5-6" behind the cutlass bearing causing extra wear. I guess it had been like this for 47 years, but I made a strut out of G10 that I shaped into a foil and glassed a cutlass to it just in front of the folding prop. You can see it in the underwater shots. I had the rudder out last year, and it looked/sounded fine. I replaced the standing rigging a couple of years ago, it may have been original. A lot depends on the maintenance over the years. I'm not aware of any specific issues of the K41 build.
What was your route? I was trying to figure out the location as I watched. We are looking at a few weeks starting from Zittles Marina and heading north later in the summer.
Starting point is Boston Harbor, Olympia,WA. Then some pictures in Budd Inlet. At 1:00 that is sailing just off Boston Harbor. Then back in Budd inlet 2:50. At 5:03 that is McMicken State Park. 5:18 is just off Zittels with Devil's Head and Anderson Island in the background. Then back to our summer moorage in Boston Harbor. My older videos show footage from a trip north to the San Juan and Gulf Islands.
What a beautiful classic boat. Excellent choice of music, too!
Thanks Peter.
