M_Boats: sail-camping

For kindred camp-cruising afficionados: The June issue of "Classic Boat" has an article featuring a modified Drascombe Longboat, higher freeboard, wider beam and modified centerboard . . . The boat was built in epoxy-soaked ply to sail-camp the coast of France. It has an exceptional cabin/tent. Also depicted is a one-burner propane campstove in a gimballed box, an idea that was bandied about the list last year (I was the idiot who proposed a gimbaled two-burner, 'til somebody pointed out the obvious fact that any pots/pans placed on one burner would have to have a perfectly balanced companion on the other burner . . . oh . . . yeah . . .) . . .
