Mooring standards the good and the bad
Seen on the same marina and within a short walk of each other, two boats with very different ideas on how to tie up your boat, I will let you decide which is the better system?
A new boat and with new lines, they should have a fairlead to pass though, the plastic tube will help but the gel coat will soon suffer.
This is nice work and the boat will be secure with such attention to detail.
Polyprop line should never be used in the first place, even with a fairlead this line is shot.
Your choice?

Design 291 Good News
Our friends from the St. Francis Yacht Club of San Fransisco sent us this image of a model of Good News. This is a museum quality model that adds nicely to their collection. I have chosen the image above which is just when the model was nearing completion as you can see the level of detail and finish and it's easier to see without the Lexan case. The completed model has the full rig.
St. Francis has similar models of the following S&S boats:
Design #7, Dorade (1931 Rig)
Design #7, Dorade (1936 Rig)
Design # 59, Santana
Design #150, Elizabeth McCaw
Design #222, Baruna
Design #255, Chubasco
Design #711, Bolero
Design #1157, Alpha
Design #1265, Cordonazo
Design # 1713, Kialoa II
These are all well known West Coast racers.
Good NewsHere are the plans.
Here's a fantastic plan entitled "Typical Sail Combinations for Ocean Racing". It clearly shows the flexibility of the yawl rig. Double click for zoom.
Good News was built by Nevins and launched in 1939.
