[Public-List] SV Tatramajjhattatā, #430

[jefdaj at protonmail.ch]

That's great thanks! I'll be in touch about the wiring in July probably. I bought it from a Micheal Webster, who had owned it since 2010 or 2011 I think. I'll look in the paper documentation for owners further back. That's interesting she's been to Texas!

>> So, say hello to SV Tatramajjhattatā, formerly Ragtime! I know I know, it's awkward in English. It's an ancient Buddhist word that's literally "to stand in the middle of all this"'. But it means a particularly seamanlike kind of equanimity. 'strong presence of inner calm, well-being, confidence, vitality, or integrity [that] can keep us upright, like a ballast keeps a ship upright [...] protection from the “eight worldly winds”: praise and blame, success and failure, pleasure and pain, fame and disrepute' (https://www.insightmeditationcenter.org/books-articles/articles/equanimity/).

>> It's hull number 430. I think was made during the transition to the newer A30s in 1970-71 because it has a balsa core deck, and as far as I can tell it's been around the Bay ever since, though it's not in the spreadsheet yet. Some of the sails were made in Saucilito. I'm pretty excited to fix everything up and learn to sail, but will have to disappear back into grad school for a couple more months first. The list of projects is already building up:
>>
>> - put the new name on the hull
>> - insulation for the v-berth
>> - buy/make a dodger
>> - organize/check a bunch of random electrical wiring
>> - install LED lighting and USB ports + more plugs
>> - varnish all the wood
>> - paint the deck
>> - clean any crud out of the bottom of the gas tank
>> - ...

>> Anyway just wanted to say hi! I hope to have a lot of questions and maybe things to contribute starting in the summer. For now, the best I can manage is this picture of me in my underwear.
