Black Knight

I saw these pictures on Yacht Forums, I know I'm usually a sail guy but these pictures are exceptional, they were taken by the administrator of the site.

Wow, nice boat! Can you imagine maintaining all that bright work? Must be a full time job.

Permanent job just polishing that black hull!

She has permanent crew and "dayworkers" or at least had. She was the committee boat for the 83 cup

[C. Ross]

Admit it, part of her appeal to a sailboat guy must be that she has two masts (umm...ketch rigged?) and ratlines. She is gorgeous. Thanks.

Update:"Black Knight" is undergoing a restoration in Newport this year.Her cabin house has been lifted to gain access to the side decks etc, fuel tanks and other structural members.From what I have heard the work is going on to re support her cabinhouse as it has sagged from
its original specs.
*more to follow as info becomes available, maybe pics later.........

I remember admiring her as she entered the harbor on Cuttyhunk more than thirty years ago, it was heading toward dusk & she glistened. Beautful!

Can you describe dull..please. :)

[Hwyl]

You can charter her for $18,000 a week. I'd guess that fuel would be extra.
