South Coast Seacraft
The South Coast Seacraft Company was an American boat builder based in Shreveport, Louisiana. The company specialized in the design and manufacture of fiberglass sailboats.Henkel, Steve: ''The Sailor's Book of Small Cruising Sailboats'', pages 140, 204, 255 and 368. International Marine/McGraw-Hill, 2010. The company was founded by Hollis Metcalf in 1965. History The first two designs produced were Carl Alberg designs, the South Coast 23 and South Coast 21, both introduced in 1965. The company supplied completed, ready-to-sail boats and also kits for amateur completion. To adapt the South Coast 21 to become a trailerable sailboat for that emerging market in the late 1960s, Metcalf and his chief engineer, James Munroe, made changes to the South Coast 21 to create the South Coast 22, introduced in 1968. It incorporated a larger interior and a swing keel to facilitate trailer transportation. The boat became the company's best selling product, with more than 3,000 built. Holl ...

Privately Held Company
A privately held company (or simply a private company) is a company whose shares and related rights or obligations are not offered for public subscription or publicly negotiated in the respective listed markets, but rather the company's stock is offered, owned, traded, exchanged privately, or Over-the-counter (finance), over-the-counter. In the case of a closed corporation, there are a relatively small number of shareholders or company members. Related terms are closely-held corporation, unquoted company, and unlisted company. Though less visible than their public company, publicly traded counterparts, private companies have major importance in the world's economy. In 2008, the 441 list of largest private non-governmental companies by revenue, largest private companies in the United States accounted for ($1.8 trillion) in revenues and employed 6.2 million people, according to ''Forbes''.

Eclipse 6
An eclipse is an astronomical event that occurs when an astronomical object or spacecraft is temporarily obscured, by passing into the shadow of another body or by having another body pass between it and the viewer. This alignment of three celestial objects is known as a syzygy. Apart from syzygy, the term eclipse is also used when a spacecraft reaches a position where it can observe two celestial bodies so aligned. An eclipse is the result of either an occultation (completely hidden) or a transit (partially hidden). The term eclipse is most often used to describe either a solar eclipse, when the Moon's shadow crosses the Earth's surface, or a lunar eclipse, when the Moon moves into the Earth's shadow. However, it can also refer to such events beyond the Earth–Moon system: for example, a planet moving into the shadow cast by one of its moons, a moon passing into the shadow cast by its host planet, or a moon passing into the shadow of another moon. A binary star system c ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

International Marine/McGraw-Hill, 2010. The boat was the first design effort by Metcalf, who was the son of the company owner, Hollis Metcalf.

Swing Keel
The keel is the bottom-most longitudinal structural element on a vessel. On some sailboats, it may have a hydrodynamic and counterbalancing purpose, as well. As the laying down of the keel is the initial step in the construction of a ship, in British and American shipbuilding traditions the construction is dated from this event. Etymology The word "keel" comes from Old English , Old Norse , = " ship" or "keel". It has the distinction of being regarded by some scholars as the first word in the English language recorded in writing, having been recorded by Gildas in his 6th century Latin work '' De Excidio et Conquestu Britanniae'', under the spelling ''cyulae'' (he was referring to the three ships that the Saxons first arrived in). is the Latin word for "keel" and is the origin of the term careen (to clean a keel and the hull in general, often by rolling the ship on its side). An example of this use is Careening Cove, a suburb of Sydney, Australia, where careening was carri ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Trailer Sailer
A trailer sailer is a type of sailboat that has been designed to be easily transported using a boat trailer towed by an automobile. They are generally larger than a sailing dinghy.Royce, Patrick M.: ''Royces Sailing Illustrated'', pages 52-57. Delta Lithograph, 1993. Trailer sailers include day sailers and small cabin cruisers, suitable for living on. Trailer sailers are used for both racing and recreation and are popular with small families and retirees. They occupy a space between smaller trailerable sailing dinghies which are intended for day use and larger boats which can only be removed from the water with specialised equipment such as boat lifting cranes. Unlike dinghies, many feature enclosed cabins which allow for overnight sleeping and dry storage. Most trailer sailers also feature ballast, either fixed or in a swinging centreboard or dagger board to make them easier to launch and retrieve. This makes these boats more stable than a dinghy, as well as less prone to ca ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
South Coast 23
The South Coast 23 is an American trailerable sailboat that was designed by Carl Alberg as a daysailer and cruiser and first built in 1965.Henkel, Steve: ''The Sailor's Book of Small Cruising Sailboats'', page 255. International Marine/McGraw-Hill, 2010. Production The design was built by South Coast Seacraft in the United States, starting in 1965. A total of 250 were completed, but it is now out of production. While many boats were delivered complete and ready-to-sail, South Coast Seacraft also supplied some boats as kits for amateur completion. The South Coast 23 design was developed into the Kittiwake 23 in 1966 by the Kenner Boat Company, by taking one extra hull and using it to build a new mold, slightly lengthening it and changing the cabin top shape. Kenner was the contractor to South Coast that built the early South Coast 23 hulls and the Kittiwake 23 was developed when South Coast moved hull production away from Kenner.
