A short update here about the Snipe Hobie trimaran built by sailor Bob Paine. (It has to do with the re-addition of oarlocks to the boat).

Joe,
When I bought the Snipe, it had oars and oarlocks installed by the prior owner. In short time, I removed them, not able to appreciate their utility in a sailboat.
However, after being stuck a few times in the grass that extends several yards into the lake in front of my house and after having waded chest high a few times, I quickly saw the utility and put them back on the boat. They help in getting me out past the grass where I can raise the sail and go.
Attached are some updated photos.
