Bruce, video of one of your designs surfing down waves. That's me
on the helm. Andrew
Surfing the Bruce Roberts designed "Carol Lee" down some 12-14
occasional 16+ foot / 5 m seas. Winds were sustained 35 knots gusting
higher. The Carol Lee is a steel 65 foot long cutter rigged sloop. This
video was taken shortly after sunrise just south of Cape Mendocino. The
Coast Pilot describes Cape Mendocino as a place of "great climactic
change" I concur! Super fun!
Hi Bruce,
Andrew Bermel, my ex-USCG delivery captain sent u a link to the Carol Lee.
The original name was Melon Eye, so now u know: she actually is the New York
65 on ur website.
Second owner bought her in Coose Bay, OR sailed her to Ilwaco and put her in
the boat yard 3 years ago.

You designed a beautiful, very fast ocean runner:
She starts surfing beyond hull-speed and can do
a steady 14-17 knots, top speed so-far was 20.5! |
