Very Cheap or Free Weekender

John Kohnen
 

Nobody has called Scott about the Stevenson Weekender in his yard. I'd hate for it to be broken up. The boat has a broken bowsprit and the motor mount tore off of the transom (from using too heavy a motor), sustained during the Salish 100. They finished. Otherwise, I don't think it's any worse than Queen Boadicea was when she came into the Coots' orbit. There are no sails. Scott will sell you a trailer to haul it off on, but if you bring your own trailer and don't bother Scott's crew too much I'll bet he'll give you the boat for free. Scott Coleman: 541-954-7223

BTW, I've got a trailer I'll give away, buyt I'd like something for the tires on it. Needs a new tongue. I got Pickle a new (used) trailer instead of doing the repair:

I have a six foot 3 X 3 galvanized tongue for cheep. I still have the Honda 2 h.p. at 400. to a coot.

I see a lot of work on that weekender, lots of weather checking which would require some paint removal/sanding/filling to repair. Bowsprit be a pretty easy fix to scarf or replace, I’d think. I can’t tell what the monster beam on the foredeck is about. The transom would be easy enough to repair and beef up. My Honda 2 hp or my Tohatsu 3.5 would look good on that boat, then.

The "monster beam" on the foredeck is the lower part of the mast. I won't call it a tabernacle, but it serves the same purpose. It's got a hinge loose-pin hinge on top, with the other half of the hinge on the bottom of the rest of the mast:

Wasn't Nereid the name of Corbett's hell afloat?  Kind of an unlucky name for a boat.
John Kohnen
 

That's a (presumably) literary reference that went right by me. Have I managed to miss out on a good story? <g> All that comes to mind is the song "Corbitt's Barkentine" about an apparently happy voyage to Demerara in a Bluenose ship.

"The rising sun next morning shone on six seamen bold,
And one big dog named Rover made seven hands all told.
He was chum of the second mate, for when his watch was done,
Instead of going forward he would lie aft in the sun

"Now, I think they were connected, if rightly I may guess,
For neither one spoke English but they both said 'ja' for 'yes.' "

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pf-9uJLAHSU

The Weekender Nereid did indeed have bad luck on the Salish 100, but she persisted, and delivered her crew intact in Port Townsend. If the name worries you, all you need to do is supply Andrew with a funny hat and some good brew and he can mumble some incantations to cleanse the boat of its past sins and give it a new name. But that is a nice _single_ nameboard. <g> There were too many boats on the Salish 100 with their name on only one side -- usually not the side I was taking a picture of. <sigh>

The price is right for Nereid:

Nereid was also a name for large boat designed by……….famous designer whom we all admire from the last century.

The Nereids were sea nymphs in Greek mythology. If you see a picture of Poseidon consorting with a bevy of nubile young ladies, those are Nereids. There's also a family of sea worms called Nereids. So "Nereid" is a pretty common name for a boat.

Captain Nat Herreshoff designed, and Herreshoff Manufacturing built, a steam yacht named Nereid in the 1880s.

Doh! The Mauritius Command. A bit of poking around the Interweb is bringing it all back... But Corbett's command was the "Nereide", a captured French ship, or a British built ship named after a captured French ship, as was their wont back then. The Weekender is named after a British/American sea nymph, not a French one. ;o)

We use Nereids for bait, the Vietnamese think they're a delicacy:

Welcome aboard, Pete! We'll make a Coot out of you yet. <g>

The Nereids are the daughters of Nereus and Doris, Poseidon married one of them, Amphitrite.

"They often accompany Poseidon, the god of the sea, and can be friendly and helpful to sailors....

"They symbolized everything that is beautiful and kind about the sea. Their melodious voices sang as they danced around their father. They are represented as very beautiful girls, crowned with branches of red coral and dressed in white silk robes trimmed with gold, but who went barefoot. They were part of Poseidon's entourage and carried his trident."

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nereid

A good name for a boat.

But since when have Greek gods worried about a little incest anyway, or even cross-species trysts! ;o)

I'm gonna bet the Hayden Island he refers to is the one in Portland, so
it's really just a float down the Columbia River and not offshore. Unless,
of course, he picks the wrong crew to help him and they overshoot Illwaco.
:-)

Mike, you might post a note at a gate at one of the marinas on Hayden
Island, or drop by RiversWest Small Craft Center at Pier 99 on one of their
open shop Saturdays, and see if anyone is interested in a boat ride. Maybe
get a free helper or maybe not too expensive.

I have a good friend who lives on a boat.  Experienced sailor and has his 100 ton Coast Guard license.  He is normally available to do boat deliveries.  He is a professional photographer by trade so his schedule is open.  If interested shoot me a private email and I can put you in touch with him.
