This is C44 no.35, Alliance, as seen from Frolic in the CY shop. 44035 is the first production boat with a fiberglass deck/coachroof; however it appears to be a little too tall and Dave and I decided to revise the molds next time out. 13 Jan 2015
This is a Sea Scamp '500' runabout, built by my dad and uncles, as Cherubini Boat, in 1957. Bruce, from northern NJ, came in and wanted us to repair some loose joints and treat it with epoxy. The hull shape of this 13'4" gem, designed by my dad before I was born, is just a treat. It planes with 35 HP. 25 Jul 2014
This is C44 no.34, Elysium, of 2008. The pic shows the 'D' rig Dave and I developed to have independently-stayed spars, forsaking the triatic stay in favor of intermediate forward shrouds on the mizzen. The boat is based in the upper Chesapeake.
Here is the interior of C44 no.35, Alliance, looking forward from the passageway. The head is to the right and the galley to the left. This boat is unique in that it does not have our 11.5-cubic-foot toploader fridge but an Italian-made stainless-steel drawer type of about 6.8 cubic feet total. Installing this thing was a chore and a half. All of the once-successful galley was redesigned to accommodate it. 13 Jan 2015

Here is the interior of Alliance, looking aft from the forward stateroom doorway. The paneling leaning against the settee will go on the main (station-3) bulkhead, in which is the door in which I stood to take this pic. The ductwork under the galley counter is air intake for the built-in 'fridge, which at 6.8 cubic feet is little more than half of the original top-loader. 13 Jan 2015
This is C44 no.16, Frolic, which was riding anchor in Fall River when a large steel fishing boat dragged in a hurricane and tangled alongside. This caused Frolic's anchor to drag till she came up against an ugly steel bulkhead and, with the fishing boat banging into her all night, the bulkhead sawed through the shrouds, bringing down the rig, and holed her topsides. Keeping to his policy of 'We don't scrap our boats', Dave bought her as salvage and brought her home, where her hull and deck were repaired. Now she awaits a new rig and a new owner's choice of Awlgrip and updated equipment. Dave may choose to keep her as a 'shop boat' and attend shows and events up and down the East Coast. 13 Jan 2015
Here is the seawater-flush pump we got from Raritan for the toilet in Alliance, which, though unmarked, has these Shur-Flo-type connectors for slip-in hose barbs. They're almost impossible to pry up and down without damaging the pump, the barb or yourself. I nicked this one pretty well with the needlenosed nippers. It's another sad example of how little thought goes into the design and engineering of equipment we ought to be able to take for granted. 2 Oct 2014
