RAPSCALLION

 Juneau 52
Owned by Gil & Caryn Wood

Gil and Caryn Wood purchased Rapscallion new five years ago, moving up from their Cal 40.  Gil is a lifetime sailor and Caryn has been involved for 25 + years.  Shown above exiting Eagle Harbor, Rapscallion has every reasonable amenity.  With a main sail furling into the mast and electric winches, she can be easily handled by her crew of two.... Actually, including Harry the seadog, that should be a crew of three!  Note the dual steering stations, optimum for either tack.  With a beam of 16 feet, there is certainly room for twin wheels.

      

The port helm has the controls for the engine and the bow thruster – try moving a 52 footer out of a crowded, tight marina on a windy day without one!  Above R:  Looking aft over gorgeous teak decking.

    

Stepping below, note the entries to the two generous rear cabins with heads to both port and starboard.  Forward on the nav station is an exceptional galley.  Below:  The nav station is to starboard.  Note the fine fit and finish of the warm teak interior.  Looking forward is the private master cabin with a large head compartment.  And there is plenty more of  that beautiful teak in the built-in desk and cabintry. 

     

 

Rapscallion's impressive salon is huge and inviting with all leather seating.

     

There are two inanimate creatures on board-- the ship's rat, "Ratscallion", and the fellow in the blue money bag joining Caryn and Harry on deck.  The latter has a stroy and may be a purloined refugee from the Port Orchard Mothers' Day Cruise.  Somebody out there (the Wohlfords, perhaps?) knows the story! 

Rapscallion is powered by a 100hp Yanmar diesel, enough to push her 34,000 pound displacement hull to nine knots.  Her keel reaches down 6 feet nine inches, still allowing anchoring in many quiet back bays and coves. She does, however, avoid many bridges due to her 60-foot mast height.

Below:  Leaving Winslow Wharf, a tight turn is made manageable with a little help from the bow thruster.  Caryn at the helm.
