Ken Hall of Vancouver, CanadaKen took me for a ride
in "Oesa", a 23 foot Elliot Bay Hull fitted with his triple expansion
engine in July 2000.
The photos I took on the day have been a major source of inspiration
and detail.
Ken built the engine from the castings alone (no detailed drawings),
designed the valve events and designed and built the well matched
boiler.
"Oesa" and her engine are a tribute to an excellent machinist
who has designed everything from a thorough understanding of the
principles involved.
