We’ve been going for years, even to far Rockland, Maine. It’s been in Mystic for the last three years which seems just about perfect. Wandering around the Seaport while looking a beautiful yachts and honest working craft is a delight.
Here’s a link to the Flickr album.
Or the day after tomorrow but in any event some choice pics from our annual pilgrimage:
…
The Seaport catboat Breck Marshall seen through Brilliant’s rig.
…
Elf, the 1888 racing yacht followed us up from Philadelphia. Perhaps we’ll see the new Maid at the next WBS.
…
That’s Thad Danielson’s Sea Harmony in the background. I think that’s a Fish Boat on the left. Anyone know?
…
Aida, one of my favorite Herreshoff designs. Simple shoal draft ketch built in the 20’s?
…
Egret, a Commodore Munroe sharpie. She’s rigged with sprit booms on her two sails. Very handy rig.
…
Refreshing amongst all the varnish. An old but very functional crab skiff. It takes a lot of work to maintain that patina.
…
Shane and Scot Bell, WoodenBoat Forum Moderator and a very patient man.

Speaking of the Forum, here we are with a couple of dozen of our closest imaginary friends. This was the third time Doug and Carter hosted a party like this. Thanks all.
Yawl not a ketch
You are indeed correct. Thanks Mr. Strom.
