Few picturs of sailing around Vodlozero. October 2003 - August 2004
full scale picture(47Kb) First tests on water. In the future, the tackle underwent a lot of changes, a different mast was stepped, lines at the stern and the rudder head were made lower, and the aft was decked to form s.c. "dog garret" , where crew can shelter under the deck. October 2003. |
So far, this is our best picture of the shnjaka under sail. To take good shots, one will need another boat to carry the photographer around, good sailing weather and plenty of time :-) October 2003. |
full scale picture(54Kb) It is possible to make fire and cook on board -- there is a hearth of stones and sand. These hot stones can also warm the space under deck -- the "dog garret", if the entrance is covered with some tarpaulin. The space is enough for 1-2 people to sleep in. August 2004. |
