This a MacGregor 36,but not Kittrace. This is an older boat with only one lee board. When I can afford a photographer and a helicopter, I'll put up one of her under sail.

This is Kittrace. I still couldn't afford the Helicopter and the photographer was cheap (my son), but the picture isn't too bad.

Here are three views of Kittrace taken at Shell Key. For the Mac list - that mast is 42 feet long, and I have to drop it to get under a 14 foot bridge when I keep it behind my house. You can understand why I smile at the posts about the difficulty raising the masts on the 19 through 26 foot boats!

To give scale to the picture, that's my head in the water about midships.

Here she is behind the house, note that the stern is on davits to keep the fixed rudders from hitting during low tide. This shows the hard deck modification and adjustable bimini which allows a standing headroom of 7 feet when not under sail
