This is awfully cryptic

[Steamboat]

And here I thought the post was excessively verbose!

[SchoonerRat]

Are we talking hours ago, or years ago?

You can't post info like that without further comment.

Nevermind, you just did! I guess you can.

It's just not fair to those of us who care.

I tried looking it up. The original was broken up post WW.
Not sure about the more recent replicas

[John Meachen]

I seem to recall that S&S were associated with a replica in1967(?) Pete Culler has a design for a ship's boat for that one somewhere in his repertoire,if memory serves.

Come on, you can't just post a statement like that without further explanation.
That's the kind of stuff we expect in the Bilge, but not up here.

Strange and almost bot-like. Much like facebook links that purport to be about one thing to draw your interest and are really about something else.

There you go, much better.

Maybe the front fell off.

Peter,that’s a pretty impressive restoration of the J Schaefer 1967 replica schooner America.
In Italy I presume what yard is doing the work.
Do you know if the tender was sold with her.

, photo of our son,
yes there is a tender

[peter radclyffe]

priscilla did you work on her

[Priscilla]

Hi Peter, no I was just interested in her welfare.
That is quite some task for you and your son keep us informed on progress the workmanship and the boat is a treat to the eye.

[lupussonic]

Peter, I would love to know more about what you are doing. This is major work to a major vessel.

I think many others would like to know a lot more about this, it's a refreshing change from small ply boat build threads, and exactly why I come here.

Is it possible for you to write a bit more about it please?

Thanks
Martin.
