At the risk of over-populating this site with videos, I'm adding yet another of my "Zephyr". http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=2171412585336381475&hl=en

Looks like a wet ride -- and just a few drops of liquid in the bilge! Nice video...

Hey Thomas,

I saw that whole documentary on the Plum channel last summer.

I like how the section you put up on youTube starts with "...and then she suddenly stopped leaking...".

That gave me hope last summer, my first with my boat, dealing with my own leaking problems for the first time.

Do you sail on Peconic Bay or are you on the shore side?

That footage was shot in Little Peconic Bay, just East of Robbins Island, two years ago. Zephyr is now out of the water, and I am starting a total renovation. I'm currently pulling the 4000lb ballast keel off of her, getting ready for new horn timber, frames, floor timbers, and planking below the waterline. Stay tuned for some more pics.
