For: Boat owners and off-grid vessel or van fitters
Worth noticing: The site traces Duke’s working history from Sitka and Eureka before describing a planned refit log of gear choices and at-sea performance.

Field notes

The page describes Duke as Douglas fir planking on steam-bent oak frames, built in Tacoma and launched on April 5, 1947. It recounts fishing out of Sitka until 1955 and then Eureka for four decades. The planned refit coverage is meant to connect specific gear choices with installation and performance at sea; no entries are visible yet.
