and the Vernon Langille.


Matt Hoffman and Miss Dee


The ApprenticeShop Whitehall


The 30 square meter boat.

A few more pictures.

Liberty, a Harry Bryan designed and built, low powered lobster boat. I have to say it was one I really liked.


Friendship, a 20 ft friendship sloop. Very classic, very salty.


Two Daughters Boatworks Caledonia Yawl. I like a skipper who knows how to row through traffic in the harbor [img]smile.gif[/img]



Thames skiffs,a single and a double. They travelled from England to Argentina and then to Massachusetts. it only took them 110 years.


Finally the W-76. guess i'll have to start playing the lottery.

The 30 Square Meter looks like "Oriole" that belongs to the Museum of Yachting. She was designed by LFH for "Sis" Hovey, who raced here very sucessfully. Wooden Boat had an article about 30 Square Meters some time ago with some space given to "Oriole" and Sis Hovey. I have sailed Oriole.

thanks MMike,

It's the difference between a cameraphone and a Digital Camera.
it's a Fuji FinePix 5100. 4 Megapixels with a 10x optical zoom.

Is it weird that I (as a sailor) would trade that W76 in on Harry Bryan's Liberty in a heartbeat?

Great pics. It sucks to be so near, and yet so far away from the show. Thanks for taking us along.

Tancook is mine...The Captain and I had a good gam...told me he sunk the boat off of Point Judith, RI..on a windy day with a green crew in fifty feet of water....after three tries with 55 gallon drums raised her and on the beach found no damage.....he is considering selling her in a year or two for maybe $25,000.
