sigrud boat ramblings, till time for sketches


BlueLias
name: Bjarnadóttir! bears daughter, after his daughters little sailboat

BlueLias
bad luck? perhaps, but better than an unnamed boat. bad memories? absolutely

BlueLias
type: Ketch (this is mostly referring to the rigging)

BlueLias
like this


BlueLias
two masts, back one slightly less high. makes for more stability, since less height is less stress on the structure

BlueLias
also easier to handle solo, with the steer near the back

BlueLias
40-50 feet length, which is for experts to handle solo, but still doable. esp with monster strength

BlueLias
no motor, sail only (i just dont want to deal with tech too or keep track of fuel)

BlueLias
compass and handdrawn map as the only navigation apart from instincts

BlueLias
will have a small kitchen, a barebones shower and room for 2-3 ppl to stay over, more for daytrips

BlueLias
also windows! portholes along the side and overhead panes on the boathouse (the structure in the middle) so scarycats can sit in there and still see stuff

BlueLias
no lifevests or lifeboats tho. dreylings dont do that nonsense, if you cant swim you either stay below or get tied to a mast like a grazing goat

BlueLias
the thing will have, ironically, more thought and stuff than his apartment did. mainly bc its easier to get the boat things than get them for himself

BlueLias
(note for future: needs boat cat)

BlueLias
...well now I want to be on a boat. Curse be that the ocean is 6 hours away

BlueLias
Iffff I get the confirmation for shorter apprenticeship today might do a weekend trip to celebrate. Get some rocks while the weather is still summer

BlueLias
Got a rough boat plan by now, just need to sketch it. Did u know those things cost 4 digit sums of money for a drawing? It's worse than architects

Usagi
waaaaaao

Very barebones sailship, no fancy tech. And need to gut the interior since Sigrud isn't average man height
