What was your route? I was trying to figure out the location as I watched. We are looking at a few weeks starting from Zittles Marina and heading north later in the summer.
Starting point is Boston Harbor, Olympia,WA. Then some pictures in Budd Inlet. At 1:00 that is sailing just off Boston Harbor. Then back in Budd inlet 2:50. At 5:03 that is McMicken State Park. 5:18 is just off Zittels with Devil's Head and Anderson Island in the background. Then back to our summer moorage in Boston Harbor. My older videos show footage from a trip north to the San Juan and Gulf Islands.
Thanks, yes we still have her. The hull is really nicely made. Ours is extremely fair and still has the original gel coat. There is a nice structure connecting the shroud tangs to the mast base, so no issues there. Our deck was redone in 1982, and is still going strong, but a previous owner must have spent a lot on that. The prop shaft is unsupported after it exits the hull. Our prop was about 5-6" behind the cutlass bearing causing extra wear. I guess it had been like this for 47 years, but I made a strut out of G10 that I shaped into a foil and glassed a cutlass to it just in front of the folding prop. You can see it in the underwater shots. I had the rudder out last year, and it looked/sounded fine. I replaced the standing rigging a couple of years ago, it may have been original. A lot depends on the maintenance over the years. I'm not aware of any specific issues of the K41 build.

What a beautiful classic boat. Excellent choice of music, too!
Thanks Peter.
Nice video ;)
