Yacht: Any recreational craft whose owner or user is not responsible for her upkeep, or whose owner recognizes sufficient tax benefits from his ownership to defray all operating expenses. Also commonly used to describe any boat prior to its purchase, and by many boat owners to describe their vessel to persons who have never seen it and are never likely to do so...(Sailing Pocket Dictionary by Henry Beard & Roy McKie)Denali Rose is a Nauticat 43; a Sparkman & Stephens designed ocean cruising pilothouse staysail-ketch sailboat built in Finland in 1983.
Her hull design began life as the Nautor-Swan 43 of that era. [Nauticat obtained the molds from Swan, added a pilothouse and other typical Nauticat interior appointments...]
She has 94 siblings [and thousands of cousins] scattered around the world, most of which are still in active use, and some of whom stay in touch.
Denali Rose is our home. [Since 2014]
We joke that we moved into a bigger place; from a 2 bedroom, 1 bath house into a 3 bedroom, 2 bath boat...
Works for us...

ReplyDeleteThe Sailing Pocket Dictionary’s definition of yacht is perfect!
Thank you for your kind words, we think Denali Rose is special, but we're kind of biased. :-) I must admit that we need new photos in some areas, we done quite a bit of updating to the boat, but haven't updated the blog.
