Sloop #1 "Syntropical":
2004-2005. 1973 Vanderstadt and
McGruer Siren 17.
Why is it named Syntropical you ask? It is a combination of SYNTROPY
and TROPICAL.
The Tropical part is fairly obvious.
When I am sailing I always think of being in the Caribbean or tropics
somewhere with Palm trees swaying, warm breezes blowing, drinking
coconut milk, etc.
Syntropy is Buckminster Fuller's
word for
the opposite of entropy which means chaos, randomness, and disorder. If
you knew how much work it took to restore this 31 year old sloop, you
would understand. Life itself is a form of syntropy.
