Beautiful photos! Thank you so much for sharing them with us!

Yesterday morning at Corinthian YC was the start of the Single Handed TransPac also..I happened to be taking the ferry to Angel Island from Tiburon to meet my son who was moored there and got to wish a few single handers away and see a few of these beautiful boats moored up. Quite a day for Corinthian.

[John B]

Wow! Great job , thanks for the photos.

[banjoman]

Thanks for the comments.

The third to last pic is of a boat owned by a 95 year old man. He sails it at least 3 times a week. He is the second owner of the boat and bought it in 1935! Many boats there required people to remove their shoes if they wanted to board. The old man invited my brother on board his boat. My brother asked if he needed to remove his shoes. "Hell no! This is a sailing boat!" was the response.
Good chuckle....

Thanks for the photos! Had to miss the event as I was down in San Pedro (LA) for the weekend.

My brother asked if he needed to remove his shoes. "Hell no! This is a sailing boat!" was the response.


I must say, Mystic being my first experience at a WBS, I was surprised when I read in a thread asking what to bring that people were saying you had to take off your shoes to board most boats ... "hence the Febreeze" I believe was the statement.

It's nice to see the boats all dressed up, but I do think it takes a little bit out of the experience when you can't just relax and explore - there was no sense of connection with any of the boats, except Airlie - and she wasn't in the show.

Wish I could have met that old man!

Beautiful! Wish I'd been able to attend.

First post, second picture, second boat out from the bottom of the frame--with the yellow hull and the green mooring line.

Is that Copperhead?

[Larks]

"Black Witch" yum yum!!

[banjoman]

I don't know the name of the boat but here is a better picture of her.
I am pretty sure this is the one you are talking about.

I think she can be a Ben Seaborn sloop called SUNDA.

The yellow sloop is Sunda, 1941 Ben Seaborn/NJBlanchard There is a sistership, Nautilus, in Seattle.

[Captain Blight]

Banjoman, thanks, yes it is. I guess I hadn't remembered her as a yawl; I just remembered the WB article on her re-decking and what triggered my question, I guess, was the yellow hull. Kind of an unusual color IMHO but it sure looks good... on either of them!

[Gary Bergman]

Hmm, looks like a rather light turnout compared to previous years....(altho' with me 'gone', that's two boats not present!)
