'Nameless'

Nameless is the nickname I'm using for a boat with no official name. The boat is an approximate copy in steel, using the Brent Swain origami technique, of Allen Farrell's famous 'China Cloud'. She is a three masted semi-traditional Asian junk of 40 ft LOA and 9 ft beam, drawing about 5 feet, with twin bilge keels, about 10 ton displacement. Currently lying Nanaimo, BC. I visited the boat in mid July 2004. Friends of mine from the area visited a couple of weeks earlier, to take some pictures for me. The high-res images in this gallery are courtesy of Mary Fletcher and Matthew Drabbe. The older pictures of Nameless are courtesy of the builder, Evan Shaler. The remaining VGA resolution pictures are my own.
