David, I can't even afford the teak oil it would take to keep up with the finishes. But, one can dream.

Hydraulic boom vang, full batterned main, all the toys at the mast head, modern mast and boom, that boat has some serious $$$ spent on it. And it looks it too! Gorgeous.

Another pretty tiller-sailer... [url="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=e6qwKJFPWnY"]Spartan[/url], the 72' Herreshoff NY-50 I recently looked over at Mystic Seaport. Magnificent! (...if a little wet when powered up.)

...or we're all getting a little older.

Nonetheless, there's some beauty to behold here, too--just not the kind with which somebody....... ummmm.... never mind.

BTW, ask a 20-something what a Playboy mag is... Then, after you explain it to him, he'll pull out his iPad, and..... WHOAAA!

On closer look, I think you're right Paul. The Spirit 46 on the cover of this month's <i>Cruising World</i> has a tiller. On the 46, the coach house like the one above is an option. Normal standing head room in the 46 is 5'2"! That's even too low for me and it costs $600k++.

Chris, that's the one Paul would fly were he in the land of his birth.


Civil Ensign of the United Kingdom

Is it used in the Commonwealth as well? Or is this one more appropriate:

Once upon a time we used the Red Ensign (defaced) as our naval flag, although not so much anymore, except on special occasions when we want to look all British and whatnot. We are flexible. http://www.flagforcanada.ca/Canadian-Red-Ensign.aspx

For a time, the Blue Ensign (defaced) was the flag of the RCN (Royal Canadian Navy) http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Canadian_Blue_Ensign.svg

Since Canada no longer has a Navy (no jokes about our submarines please - http://www.defenseindustrydaily.com/sub-support-contract-creating-canadian-controversy-04563/) opting for a "Maritime Command" instead, whatever that means, we no longer need a naval ensign, opting instead for a naval flag - I have no idea what the difference is - which is commonly referred to as an ensign anyways.

Our ensigns are shown in this guy's flicker feed. http://www.flickr.com/photos/wiless/2683441857/

That appears to have changed. The Maritime Command is to be called the Royal Canadian Navy.
