Tied up



Bumbo at the dock after a mid-2007 overhaul that included new bottom paint, improved rigging and refurbished brightwork and rudder. Click for a larger picture.

Sailing Vessel Bumbo

Bumbo is a Santana IOR 1/4 tonner, sometimes called a Santana 25, boat 98 built 1974 by W.D Schock. She's a fine sailor, weatherly and dry. I imagine that in her day, she could have competitive boats calling for her PHRF 222 to be adjusted down to some more humane number. Alas, those days are in Bumbo's past. When we get some pictures, we'll get them posted.
