Synergy is returned to the place where she feels most comfortable...the water. |
Aft view of the port side where the outboard is stored when not in use. Note: The spaghetti of rope on the tiller was tossed onboard just before the picture was taken.

This is a "BEFORE" shot of the boomkin taken on March 29, 2003.

This is Synergy after the haul-out and replacement of the boomkin. The new spars were made from a 16ft x 10" x 1-1/2" plank of clear fir with perfectly vertical grain running the length of the board. The thickness required (2-1/4") necessitated laminating two pieces together. We feel this created additional strength. |

Lastly, here is Synergy's cabin back from the brink. |
