This is probably one of the best web pages I have seen in a long time,
if not the best in many aspects. Decide for yourself.....
Simple, concise, graphic without complication

"A carbon fiber unstayed mast. This flexible mast yields under gusts
so sails can be carried into higher winds. When the mast rebounds
after a gust it returns some of the stored energy as acceleration.
While the rig will weigh about the same as a standard rig it will have
much less maintenance as there are no shrouds or spreaders. There
will be running backstays to keep the jib luff tight when close
hauled, but they are not required for structural support."

"A recirculating shower will accommodate a 40 minute hot shower using
stored heat and only 2 quarts of water. Two quarts of clean water are
used for each shower, and at the end of the shower you use soap and
discard the water as you rinse the soap off."

"Off the boat, the keel trunk was laminated around the steel fin in
E-glass and epoxy. The trunk is 3 feet wide, 7 feet high, and allows
the 6,400-pound keel to be lifted up like a daggerboard."
"In practice, the yacht’s draft can be reduced from 8 feet to 6 feet
in 10 to 12 minutes of winding at a moderate effort.
A pair of fixed high-performance rudders match the draft of 4 feet in
the "keel-up" position. "

"The electric-drive system comprises a bank of 12 deep cycle 12-volt
batteries connected in series, a 144-volt DC 6 HP high-torque electric
motor, and a Glacier Bay 5.5 KW 2 cylinder diesel genset."

Resume for Joseph Huberman
Sailing Resume

I have sailed all my life, and the skills that I bring are a
sensitivity to sail setting, good helmsman’s capabilities, a desire to
keep sails and course set precisely, and cooking skills. I am 55
years old, athletically fit and in good health. I have sailed in
various dinghies, frequently in extreme conditions including surfing
large breaking waves in Lasers and Flying Scots, as well as sitting
motionless in Windmills, waiting for the elusive puff. I raced
Windmills for 15 years, and won the Middle Atlantic District Champs in
1989 at Oriental, North Carolina. My blue water experience consists
of passages between the US Virgin Islands and the Middle Atlantic US
coast as well as along the Eastern Seaboard and Pacific NW . I have
bareboat chartered for many years in the Caribbean, Alaska, Maine and
Australia.

1. 1959-61: Elementary School: Crewed on a Flying Scot owned by
Joseph B. White. We sailed most weekends with my father and Joe White
in all winds 0 - 30 Knots.
2. 1960: for one week we sailed the Flying Scot down through the
Florida Keys in winds 0-15 knots camping on shore at night.
3. 1965, September 7: Sailed the Flying Scot to safe harbor before
Hurricane Betsy. Winds 25-45 knots
4. 1965 - 1968: High School: During high school I maintained the
Flying Scot for Joe White and sailed in all wind conditions 0-30 in
Biscayne Bay, Miami Beach Florida. During that time I bought an old
homebuilt Snipe-like boat and my friend Randy Sheffman bought a cheap
catamaran. We modified and repaired these boats and sailed whenever
the winds were over 15 knots. We frequently took the boats out through
Government Cut to sail in the large surf. We mostly sailed in Biscayne
Bay between Coconut Grove and Haulover Inlet. The catamaran finally
came apart one day in 30 knot winds and we were rescued by a Coast
Guard helicopter. Other activities included SCUBA diving and swim
team.
5. 1968-72 College: Took Sailing classes and managed the Beloit
College boathouse.
6. 1970 Jan - April: I worked as boson on the Mystic Whaler, an
85-foot gaff rigged schooner. With Dave Irdell, the captain, a first
mate, and two galley crew we took groups on week-long cruses around
the Virgin Islands. Among other things, my duties were to raise,
lower, and trim the sails, set and retrieve the anchor, throw the
lead-line and con the ship through shallow waters as well as help
clean and maintain the boat. I stood watch under both power and sail,
instructed passengers on sailing the boat and ferried them to shore
using both a six-passenger rowboat and a 12 passenger diesel launch .
7. 1970 April: Crewed on passage of Mystic Whaler from St. Thomas
VI to Mystic Connecticut. About half the time we were under power,
half the time sailing. Winds 5 - 20 knots. As watch captain I stood
both day and night watches. I assisted with celestial navigation, and
took daily noon sights.
8. 1983: Purchased Windmill 3026 and raced it regularly in club
races and invitational regattas in the Middle Atlantic United States
until 1992. Won the Middle Atlantic District Champs in 1989 at
Oriental, North Carolina.
9. 1988: Purchased a Laser and sailed it as well as the Windmill
regularly at Kerr and Jordan Lakes in North Carolina, and annually in
Biscayne Bay, Miami Florida. Winds 5 - 25 knots.
10. 1990 - 1996: Purchased a Mistral Superlight Sailboard and sailed
it regularly at Jordan Lake in North Carolina and occasionally in
Biscayne Bay, Miami Florida. Winds 5 - 20 knots.
11. 1990 - 1995 Every year in late December I sailed and crewed my
friend Mary Hartley's Intrepid 32 in southern Biscayne Bay and the
Atlantic Ocean off Miami Florida in various conditions. Winds 5 - 25
knots.
12. 1990, December 31: From 8 PM to 2:00 AM the next morning we

Florida.

Mic: Great and informative find. I think this guy's combined a lot of
great ideas in one boat, and I would like to see how it all works out
for him in the real world.
