20' Parker Pound Sharpie (2012) - STARBUCK

SLIGHTLY MODIFIED PARKER POUND SHARPIE – LENGTHENED BOTTOM FOR PLUMB STEM, HALF DECKED WITH END FLOTATION. SUBSEQUENT MODIFIED SAIL PLAN TO REDUCE HELM. THE BOAT AS DRAWN HAD FIERCE WEATHER HELM AND WAS SLIGHTLY TENDER.
OVER THE YEARS I ADDED MORE BALLAST. 250 KGS SEEMS ABOUT RIGHT AND IT WILL NOW SAIL UNREEFED IN A STIFF BREEZE.
STARBUCK RANGES AROUND HARDYS BAY, FROM THE
RIP BRIDGE TO LOBSTER BEACH, WHERE THE CHOP BECOMES SWELL AND BEGINS TO TEST THE LOW FREEBOARD.
