Blackberries for Ali
Under power for picking
In our Boat Profiles, the Shellback and Oonagh, both sail-and-oar dinghies, get a close look. Tom Conlogue and Delaney Brown shoot a tidal rapid in their dory, push it over a beaver dam, and try dragging it to an ancient portage. A Patagonia jacket and the mesh bags and sling bag that Ben Fuller uses to tote and access gear are our featured bits of kit; making a sling bag is this issue’s DIY project. An English sailor builds an Irish curragh for a tender and our editor and his daughter pick blackberries from his Whitehall.
