| Photographs - Exterior & Afloat
Here is an assortment of the
best photographs I have received to date of Seacrackers afloat and on
the hard. Several of the boats below have yet more photos under the
"interior" section. Click
on photo to see a much better quality image of each.

Sergeant Pepper
At anchor in Sandy Cove near Kinsale, Ireland (August 2001) - the radar
reflector has now been moved to a fixed bracket on the front of the
mast. |

Sergeant
Pepper
Cardiff has a
spectacular barrage system with three lock gates which cope with the 13
meter rise and fall of the tide. To enter just after low tide is
quite an experience as they flood the locks.

Sergeant Pepper
Not an award winning
photograph but it does show her keel and rudder well. |
 |
Sergeant Pepper
I'm guessing this is from
her early racing days on the west coast.

Pegasus
Pegasus is Sergeant Pepper's
sister. Pictured here in Holyhead in late 2001, she was built at the
same time as Sgt. Pepper, the two owners working nearby each
other.
It's a great photograph if you
download the full image. She is owned by Mike Philips - and I would
love to have some photos of her interior (please?)

Judging
by the number of other boats, this almost has to be in the Solent? |

East coast?

Tilman
Yes - it's a yawl rigged
Seacracker 33 with a bowsprit! Tilman is owned by Alef Burghouts whose
homeport is Wageningen. This is on the river Rhine 20, kilometers
downstream of Arnhem, approximately three quarters of an hour drive
from Amsterdam. |

Tilman
An interesting view of the
mizzen.

 |
Tilman
The
chain locker doesn't have a triangular hatch but two inspection hatches
on each side. The windlass is installed in the middle of the deck and
supported by the bulkhead of the chain locker. Alef uses the windlass
to fix an additional stay for the jib and storm-jib, because the Genoa
is on the furling system. |

Mabena |
 |
Mabena
This is on
the Intra-coastal waterway in the USA (East Coast).
|
|
Mabena
On her
mooring in New Orleans before the hurricane. Apparently only the awning
was lost despite serious destruction in the marina. Note the aluminium
toe rail.

Merlin
Merlin's
first owner sailed her to South Africa and the Caribbean. She is now
berthed in Hartlepool Marina.
