Obviously used the cheap stuff...
What I don't understand is that at this point, to me (someone without a clue about these things) it looks pretty obvious something isn't quite right:
It gets worse and worse. Then at this point, something falls off the top of the thing:
Surely an indicator that something is very wrong? And, as far as I can tell, it'd have been a totally recoverable incident one way or another?
Having launched precisely 0 boats of this size, I could be totally wrong and this is totally normal. Having said that, I doubt it!!

thats awesome.
so all engineers have to have a bit of an OCD when it comes to cleaning - it'd be a nice place to spend your time.

The Boss, the Skipper and the Chief were jolly picky. All ex-RN.

I once watched Part Hamble launch e a new Sigma 33 (my dad's mate had bought it) they lowered it in using the lift with slings, the boat just went straight to the bottom - they had left the sea cocks open. I was about 12 years old and learnt a lot of new words that day.
Our new boat was launched there a couple of years afterwards, my dad was really pushy about them checking sea cocks. It was launched fine but once in the water some tosser dropeed his cigarette butt and it went through the hatch and landed in the cabin, leaving a burn mark on the floor. It is the only time in my life I have seen my old man hit someone. He had saved all his life for that new boat.

I still think that the masts spoil the lines. Give me a bermudan rig everyday.
Yeah... But crikey, how tall would the mast have to be for it to be in proportion?!Mybe its just me, but I also don't like the old square riggers or gaff rigged boats. Too much of the elegance is lost although some of the old tea clippers look elegant.
