This isn't just a vessel; she’s a floating testament to wartime engineering! Step aboard the Gyrfalcon, commissioned in 1941 to survey the brutal Aleutian Islands. Prepare to be amazed by the construction—we're talking about a hall framed with one foot of solid, old-growth fir designed specifically for ice navigation. For the serious engineers out there, you’ll want to see the twin cats and the massive fuel range built to conquer the harshest oceans on Earth. This classic boat reveals new secrets around every corner. Make sure to stay until the very end for the incredible, untold story involving General Patton, shared directly by her devoted stewards, Nancy Evers and Peter Mann! #YachtLens #WoodenBoat #ClassicYacht #BoatRestoration #Liveaboard #ChrisCraft #YachtTour #TrawlerLife #GardnerDiesel #ClassicBoat #WWIIHistory #ShipTour #NavalHistory #EngineeringMarvel #IceBreaker #Gyrfalcon #VintageVessel #Maritime
🪢 Sunday Boat Tip [20/52] 🪢 These are the rules we have set up to feel safer on over night passages as we double hand our sailboat from point A to B. They enhance our chance to get a more peaceful sleep when you are not on watch, knowing that the other person is safe and still on the boat when you wake up. The person on watch must: 1. Wear the personal floating device at all times! 2. If needed to get up on deck, wake up the other one, and then tell when everything is done and you are safely back again. The person asleep does not need to get up, but will keep an ear out until all is done. 3. Hook the safety line to the boat when getting out of the cockpit. 4. Wake the other person up for operations like reefing the main and gybing. The person asleep must: 5. Set the alarm to wake up at the end of shift. Do you have any additional rules you would like to add? Let us know! Don’t forget to save this post and share it with a friend who needs to see this 🫶🏼
