sully75, pm sent, regarding crew.

Yes, it was great fun, although too short and so few pints that one could still pronounce "Salish Sea".

James, I hope that you made a pilgrimage to the outboard in the Metropolitan Museum of Art:

^Thanks, I thought that might be SYRINX, but I couldn't find the recent thread about her, and couldn't recall if she went from CA to WA, or vice versa.

Ted, do you know the name of the boat in the third photo?

Very good, let's play it by ear, wind and weather. There is still ice on the puddles here in the morning, chilly sailing. I could also pick folks up at a dock on the Hudson Manhattan side, just...

My boat (34 foot wooden L. Hess BCC) is a 10 minute ferry ride from lower Manhattan, if you all want to come over to Liberty Landing marina, NJ for a sail, maybe watch the sun set.

I passed and noticed that yacht in the photo just this morning, while riding my bicycle along the Hudson to work. I wonder how much per foot per day for a slip just upstream of the USS Enterprise.

Plus, François Gabart finished in a stunning 78 days, smashing the 80 day record set by that Phileas Fogg fellow in the Jules Verne novel.

The second place finisher, Armel Le Cleac'h, was only 5...

I'll wager a pint that the Newport Beach and Marseille vessels are the same!

For example, both have the bronze dolphin mentioned above.

Yes, the owner of the boat that I photographed was French. I think that the transom difference in the Rockport Marine photo is because the boat had just arrived in Maine and still had the previous...

The BOUNTY that passed through NYC came down from Rockport Marine, which recently worked on a Britt Bros. 1936 boat, shown on their website.

Dunno, here are two closeups:

BOUNTY spent hurricane Sandy at Liberty Landing Marina in NY harbor, apparently without a scratch, although the dock house and ramp were lost. She had come down from Rockport Marine just prior, and...

This photo is stunning.

I had read that they had built a house in Rockland, and that Peter Phillipps was an architect, but I don't know where in Rockland.

I think that brokerage was recently successful in selling Holger Danske, another Aage Nielsen boat. They must be doing something right, despite the ominous name!

I was afraid that she would be put up for sale, after Peter Phillipps past away. I never met him, but admired him and his boat a lot after seeing her in Rockland. VOYAGER is a beautiful boat, and was...

It looks like Throg's Neck bridge in the background, that's an odd place to be, between Throg's Neck and Whitestone Bridges. I saw a harbour porpoise there last week.

Swords and Plowshares.

If you want a Davis, or if anyone wants a Davis, then I have one for free, having upgraded to an Astra IIIIB.

By the way, HOLGER DANSKE appears to have sold:

She was on the market for years.

Oops, my mistake, SYRINX hasn't sold.

That first link is from an older sale in 2005, when the market was much better.

The second link is a current "For Sale" in Wooden Boat classifieds.

The Lyle Hess SYRINX recently sold:

That Irish fellow that provided Olympics commentary might have said,

"Mind your head! Some mad men tipped over entirely. Somebody's been smokin'."

The boat has been on the market for awhile. I think that she would have sold by now but for lack of a diesel.

The head leaves something to be desired, although it is near the desk.

I wonder if the boat has a sister ship(s), or if it is a subtly different one-off design:
