To the Rescue, After a Fashion
The only casualty was pride
The Gilpatrick-designed Laker Canoe and Devlin’s Candlefish 16 are the subjects of our Boat Profiles, and a compass for rowers and a throw bag for rescues get a close look in our Product Reviews. This month’s Technique details how to coil throwing lines to prevent tangles when tossed. Our editor recalls a successful but awkward rescue of two sailors, while two friends motor the coast of British Columbia under solar power. Joe Lanni makes his third appearance with his latest Reader Built Boat.
