Captain Eddie's Harbor

Holder 17

Lucyna was a 1982 Holder 17, a swing keel sloop by Hobie Cat. It was a lot of fun; a neat trailerable sailboat with a cabin.

At 950 lbs., we had no trouble pulling her, even with a 4 cylinder Toyota van.

Under sail with two of our girls on deck. Note the multi-colored jib. The main was also colored, typical of Hobies. We spent one season on a private lake where we had vacation property, but the winds weren't cooperative there. We spent a season on the Illinois Chain O' Lakes, but there were way too many powerboats. Here's a rare occasion when only a pontoon boat was nearby.

The interior was definitely kid-sized! Kate serves up a cool drink while Christina relaxes.

Lucy taking a nap while Andrea, aged 3, walks along the deck. The girls had sea legs early!

This boat had some teak, but was quite easy to maintain.

At King's Island in Pistakee Lake, Chain O' Lakes. Most of the boats were 22', with a few that were larger. We had a Nissan 2HP, which was plenty for getting in and out of our slip.
