Documenting Historic BC Boats
http://blog.tadroberts.ca/2011/10/documenting-historic-bc-boats
Yacht Designer Tad Roberts' Web Log. Documenting Historic BC Boats. Published Thursday, October 20th, 2011.

Falcon Rock, Fisheries Patrol Vessel
http://blog.tadroberts.ca/2013/06/falcon-rock-fisheries-patrol-vessel
Yacht Designer Tad Roberts' Web Log. Falcon Rock, Fisheries Patrol Vessel. Published Saturday, June 8th, 2013. The Falcon Rock was built for the Minister of Fisheries in 1960 at the McKay-Cormack Ltd yard in Victoria. She served the Department for 37 years, much or all of it out of Prince Rupert. I believe she had 2 or 3 sisters, all built in BC yards around the same time. It could be they have 140 sheets for an unknown number of boats). Sakamoto Brothers Boatbuilding at Osland.

Kedging, Another Lost Art.
http://blog.tadroberts.ca/2013/09/kedging-another-lost-art
Yacht Designer Tad Roberts' Web Log. Kedging, Another Lost Art. Published Friday, September 6th, 2013. After writing the above someone asked, Kedging, seriously? Technically the kedge is just a small anchor carried for the purpose of kedging. Cruising boats no longer carry such equipment but 40 years ago it was considered essential. 8221; It takes only a moderate pull to move a large boat very slowly, a winch is too slow and not at all necessary unless you are aground or in a gale needing to go upwind.

Yacht Designer Tad Roberts' Web Log. Documenting Historic BC Boats. November 4, 2014. The Richmond Star is a 40′ by 12′ troller built by Ernie Wahl in 1977. Below are the few lines drawings of real troller hulls that I’ve been able to gather.

Double-Ended Trollers
http://blog.tadroberts.ca/2013/03/double-ended-trollers
Yacht Designer Tad Roberts' Web Log. Published Sunday, March 31st, 2013. Here are some pictures of the little double-ended troller. She was built in 1959 by the Wahl Boatyard Ltd at Dodge Cove in Prince Rupert. Gross tonnage is 10.12, she is 33′ long, 10′8″ wide, and 5′1″ deep. I believe the boat is currently based in Nanaimo. It’s somewhat surprising to see that small double-enders were still being built as late as 1959. One can see a very close relationship between this hull and the. Published nor shar...
