    Ronald. Thanks, I noticed it was a SAAB when I zoomed in, after I had posted!
    Here is a bolinder for comparison..
    If it don't fit, use a hammer to make it fit....

    Very nice...If one can put up with the high maintenance of a wooden boat & the inconveniences of living aboard !

    I envy both sorts of sailors.

    Every boat needs a cat. This portly fellow demonstrated that he was very necessary aboard. It took quite a few mice or rats to develop that physique

    In our area a fella brought in a 30โ€™Tancook Whaler and placed in his backyard. Robert said it was build in Vancouver, B.C. where the former owner lived aboard.

    Rob, bought it though, here in Hamilton, Ontario. Hamilton is on Lake Ontario which is a pretty long sail from Vancouver.

    He invited me to climb a step ladder and see it up on deck. Here are some photos.

    He said, there are a few hull planks that need replacing, then scrapping the lower hull to apply some caulking felt and applying anti fouling paint.

    Further research about the vessel turned-up this YouTube video.
