The Leisure 17 is a seagoing cruiser. The sea-keeping abilities of the yacht were proved by John Adams, who crossed the Atlantic with his Leisure 17 in 1967 within 32 days. see https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Leisure_17#cite_note-Homepage_Windpilot-2.  see https://www.leisureowners.org.uk/

Mine was "Continuity", a Tylercraft T17 from Oakdale, Long Island NY.  Is double meaning name referred to the large array of electronics I had on so small a vessel.  I sailed this boat throughout the LI Sound.

Boating Projects

My enjoyment in life comes from designing and building certain things which others don't typically do, then using and enjoying the hell out of them. That includes creating, building and improving on complex stuff, like restoring RV's, Boats, Houses, Emergency Communications Trailers, Trebuchets, High Security Locks, high power Rockets, Drones, Ham Radio projects & lots of other stuff fun I'm interested in.  Aside from family first, that's the well I draw satisfaction from!

I've been in and out of boating my whole life and I've restored some boats to perfect condition and with many enhancements. 

I've owned Cape Dory's, Tylercraft, Glasspar, Catalina and some others. These are pictures of the boats, but not all are of my exact boats.
