If the thought of a motor sailor is a bit too much like "pipe and slippers" then maybe a sturdy doghouse like this one fitted to a Westerly makes sense and would certainly extend the sailing season despite the rain.
Of course when it's cold and wet actually going sailing isn't that appealing, so why not something like this old favourite of mine, the perfect floating weekend cottage, warmed by a roaring stove, great views and when you want to go somewhere crank up that slow revving diesel from the comfort of that wheelhouse.

Hi Max,
ReplyDeleteI do like the dodger (dog house) in the second picture. In the Northwest US we know a thing or two about rain. Most boats have a canvas dodger but it usually stays on in all weathers. A hard dodger makes sense so you don't have to replace the canvas every seven or 10 years.
