If you read his blog he just paid $3200 for this thing a few months ago, sometimes you have to wonder.

Definite Fixer upper.

I wonder if there is any interest in the BWD community to charter my boat for a weekend this summer. I've been on it most every weekend in the last month and a half, but might as well get used on the weekends when I am not.

That actually looks like a pretty sweet camping boat. No backstay or forestay though, and a helluva lot of sail power, how do they engineer that to last?

Well yeah, but how do you keep it steady and undercontrol especially given it is removable? Normally on a rig that size there plenty of compression from the stays and spreaders keeping things put, carbon mast or not.
