Giving away my Goose
|
Andrew Linn
I'm losing my storage area and won't be able to keep my Goose (the Pride of Toledo.) She needs a significant amount of work, but all the parts are there, including a Really Simple Sail balanced lug.
Anyone interested, please call or text. I can deliver to most places Coots live.

Why don't you donate it to the Toledo Boat house?

It's not in sail-able condition right now, and I don't feel it falls into the usage model of the Boathouse.

Andrew already tried donating his Goose to the Boathouse. They auctioned it off a few years ago, but the Port put in the highest bid and then gave the boat back to Andy! ;o) Pride of Toledo is a Good Boat. Andrew has said that she's the best one he's built. And Puddle Gooses are Good Boats, suitable for Ol' Coots and other less nimble folk. I hope one of Us gives her a good new home:

Does Pride of Toledo come with the custom Coot burgee staff with brass wind indicator I made for her? That's worth the price by itself! ;o)

BTW, there will be another Goose in the Coot fleet come spring, so if one of Us gives Pride of Toledo a new home there can be Goose races. <g>

That's Earl hiding behind his wife's skirts (email acct.). ;o) I think what he's trying to say is that he's got Mik Storer's Oz Goose plans in hand and a pile of plywood waiting for him to get to work.

Although Earl is gonna add some of his own touches to the Oz Goose, it may well end up being the first Duck/Goose in the NW built close to actual plans! <g> In this case, Mik Storer's Oz Goose plans:

Yeah.....right now I’m conflicted about dagger board/ fixed rudder and lee board / kick-up rudder. I’d like to hear some opinions from out there in Cootville sailor land.

I'm all about kickup. I'm aground more often than I am racing.

Thanks Andrew,

I’m also considering my age. It’s hard and awkward to lift and lower a dagger board or same style rudder.....and I’m conjuring-up an inside-the-cockpit geared wheel for a lee board.

A Michalak-style single leeboard is easily handled with two lanyards --

one to lower it and hold it down, and another to raise it and hold it up. The Piccup Pram plans I loaned you show the details, but here's an old article from Jim's newsletter: https://preview.tinyurl.com/y43tup49 or http://www.jimsboats.com/webarchives/1998/15jun98.htm#Pivoting%20Leeboard%20Design Duckworks sells "magic" cleats that release if you hit something with the leeboard: https://www.duckworks.com/product-p/sd-002570-parent.htm You should try the cassette rudder before dismissing it out of hand. The rudder blade isn't weighted, so it's easy to lift. When partly raised the cassette rudder works better than a partly raised kickup rudder. If you don't like the cassette rudder you can make a kickup rudder later.

When I built my Duck, Greyhound, I put the daggerboard case inside the side airbox, with the airbox wall as one side of the case. I thought that if I built another, or a Goose, I might use a pivoting "offcenterboard" in the same place, with a lever on the pivot pin. A _lot more_ work than a leeboard or daggerboard. ;o)

I liked the cassette rudder just fine. A clever design. Michael Storer says a lot of Antipodean racing dinghies use them: https://preview.tinyurl.com/y6j24qye or https://www.storerboatplans.com/foils/the-standard-storer-boat-plans-kick-back-dagger-rudder/

Those plans are submerged in a stack on my desk....will get to them soon. I built a 14’x4’ x28” work table for the goose today. If 14’ prove unwieldy I’ll just lop 2’ off. Initially it will work out well for the sheet plywood work though. Have you decided on a lunch date yet? Earl
