10.29.2012 Rescue under way after 17 abandon stricken HMS Bounty off N.C. coast 17 abandon distressed ship off NC coast - NBCNews.com
The HMS Bounty is one of the most famous ships in the world. Known for the
storied mutiny that took place in Tahiti in 1789 on board the British transport
vessel, the current Bounty, a replica, has survived to tell the tale. Built for
the 1962 movie “Mutiny on the Bounty” with Marlon Brando, HMS Bounty sails the
country offering dockside tours in which one can learn about the history and
details of sailing vessels from a lost and romanticized time in maritime
history. Since her debut in “Mutiny on the Bounty”, HMS Bounty has appeared in
many documentaries and featured films such as the Edinburgh Trader in Pirates of
the Caribbean Dead Mans Chest with Johnny Depp.

12.11.11 Recently I’ve been enjoying various inter-net searches pertaining to the nautical work of one of the founders of impressionism, Claude Monet (1840 -1926). As a youth in Le Havre
12.10.11 My last sailing vessel, a Lyle Hess designed 27 footer, had a dodger plus full cockpit enclosure making the cockpit a more usable space during inclement weather. Besides keeping the area dry a good enclosure will raise the ambient temperature of the cockpit area. We've spent many an evening enjoying a glass of wine in the cockpit with a chill rain falling around us. Our current vessel, AQUILA, an S-2, 9.2C does not (yet) have an enclosure. Planning on building one ourselves, I found these heavy duty, clear tarps and purchased a few to see how they would fare in the demanding environment of the marine world. We used this boom tent throughout the summer and am happy to report it stood to 30 knot winds, and heavy rains. This material will be the foundation of our homemade cockpit enclosure. We liked it so much we are also fashioning a fair-weather companionway closure out of the same material. Interested? Give 'em a look at: http://www.tarpsplus.com/clear-tarps.html

The boat is U.S. Coast Guard certified and can carry up to 49 passengers.Gundalows are flat-bottomed vessels first created in the 1600s to bring cargo from ocean ports upriver.
