This reminds me of the time when I could probably had my choice of two 12 meters for the cost of taking them away. Sob.

Her sister "Spindrift" was the builder's personal boat. He's been dead for years, Spindrift is on the bottom of the Middle Branch of the Patapsaco River in Baltimore. I worked for the Balco Yacht Company where she was built. Hope someone takes her.

I do hope someone does right by her. It's a good thing she's not close. Looks like a really daunting task.

Drooooool

[Figment]

ya figure he just hiked away from the boat until he ran out of breath, then turned to take the photo?

[True Love]

Good question, fig. What she could be is absolutely beautiful; what it will cost to get her there is more than I have. Sadly.

FYI-Contacted the owner through e-bay for a "schedule of needed repairs". He estimated a $100,000 price tag for the refurb. Too rich for my blood (at least so far-I'm an optimist)! Not sure if this was based on a high quality survey or not.
