The Saturday Cove Skiff

Rowing isn’t like baseball or playing the piano. With only one lesson and a little time on your own, you can get the idea of it. From the perspective of about 60 years, a few thousand strokes, and more than a few stiff necks from looking over my shoulder to see where I’m going, I can now say that rowing came naturally to me not long after a nice older man named Fred, a Brit who worked as a caretaker for a number of summer families including my own, showed me the basics.

Centerline Saildrive for a Classic Yacht

by Nigel Sharp

The 56 sloop PLYM did not have an engine when she was launched in 1948 in Sweden, but it wasn’t long before her owners decided they needed one. Her first was a gasoline-powered engine installed in the 1950s, with the propeller shaft offset to one side to stay clear of her keel-hung rudder. A Westerbeke diesel replaced the gasoline engine in the 1970s, using the same shaft arrangement. But 20 years later, by then newly arrived in Sydney, Australia, PLYM had a new Volvo Penta diesel and a centerline propeller shaft installed.
