Took a Dock walk today, few pics

Nothing special, just a couple of pics of my Dock Walk.
I call this one Sailboat row, mostly Catalina 30's and a Bene 32


A Catalina 320 with an interesting mast configuration. beleive it or not alot of dis masting occurs on Lake mead.


This is my lil tub.

as i said nothing special, but that catalina mast must have been weak.

no bridges here my friend. but you can be on a nice reach when a 70mph gust comes out of nowhere and then...BAM!

Nice boat uspirate-

I looked at you pictures on another thread and saw what you have done with the interior. Pretty good job.

I just sold a Mac 25 about a month ago that I had for a year. I bought it and did alot to the interior and sold it and almost doubled my money. It was my first sailboat flip and I learned alot and enjoyed it.

I am looking for another simula trailerable boat to do it again. The Macs are good because you can really do alot to the interior from how it came from the factory.

I really enjoyed my Mac but I never had any 70mph gust come at me, that might be scary but would be alot of fun!

Front end of your tub looks a lot better properly decorated.

Ok Chuckie,
I was thinking it but wasn't about to say it.

Did your boat travel as part of the raft-up, or didya pull it out first? Those were some amazing aerial photos of the move. Is the new location harder to get to?

Mine floated along with them. the new spot is excellent easy access and no sightseers. boulder islands are a 4 minute dinghy ride.
