36ft Brent Swain steel sloop
About Me
- Tagish
- Tagish is a 36' Brent Swain design steel sloop with Canadian's, Brian and Dorothy on board. Built using the origami method of folded steel. It has 'keel cooling' using the skeg which holds 10 gallons of cooland/antifreeze like a car and using pump in engine is circulated for cooling. It also uses a dry exhaust for better reliability. So no water brought into boat for engine, no impellors or heat exchangers or sea water strainers to mess up. The anchor windlass is manual only, with 200' of 5/16 hi test chain and 100ft of 3/4 nylon on the drum which is mounted on deck. Tagish is named after a lake in the Yukon, Northern Canada where we had a cabin as children. See 2 short video clips of boat sailing-goto older posts in blog at March 4/2011.
