Looks like one of our favorite newsletters has evolved into a nice blog. We're big fans of twin-keelers, as some are about the most rugged little production cruising boats ever built.—Eds

when i see these multi-keel boats my thoughts always go to SEA DART -

the state of idaho did have a SEA DART www-page. in the past few years her status has been 'refit' and the www-site removed. i once saw SEADART when she was under her 'first' refit when idaho first took ownership. was like visiting a holy relic.

tristan seems to have not told the entire truth about his travels, but he did tell a GREAT story.

there is little doubt that SEA DART did get herself into many a strange location and take part in many an adventure!

Hi,
I noticed you had a picture of Amity, my little bilge keeler on your site. I had sent a mail to the twin-keeler site because I thought they were a really nice site for small boat interests.
My boat however is not production made, it's designed as a home made boat by Percy Blandford and can be built in your back garden or shed. My boat measures 17 foot long x 6 foor 8 inches in beam and was built in 1975 by a guy called Don Haslam.
Plans for the boat are available from www.lysander.org where you will find their website and some real nice folk who are willing to give you a lot of advice and encouragement.
Have a great sailing summer this year as I plan to.
James Robinson
