I saw a wonderful boat in the new Wooden Boat Mag. She is a B.B. Crownshield day sailer that is 40 ft. long. With an 8 ft. beam and a schooner rig, she would be very fast and quite a fun boat to sail too. She is in Chicago and has plenty of documentation, film done of her and stills too.
What a boat to have in the shop. I would love to be working on her as my own. I feel this way every time I see a boat that has this pedogree and has some hope of being restored. She reminds me of Pirouette, when we first saw her at Piney Narrows Yacht Basin in Maryland. I really didn’t appreciate her until I finally got her in the shop and started to peel off the old fiberglass to find solid mahogany instead of rot. Needless to say, she was easily put back to her former self, once the ballast and centre-board were fixed. All I needed was some elbow greese (ok quite a bit of it) and a few determined helpers like my wife and a couple of employees.
I may just e-mail the chap and let him know that I would love to have her and would definately work on her as my own but, I would need a couple of years to get the job done.
The boat’s name is “Fame” and she is a real head turner. Check her out in the back of the magazine or on line at:
www.woodenboat.com I’m sure there will be a pic there somewhere.
Cheers for now

I absolutely need to get out and about much and also give up wasting a large percentage of of my night logging hands in poker on myspace or facebook on the grounds that in recent times i have been missing in regard to this. Despite the fact that I cannot believe that I completely come to an agreement with every single premise, it is very good to peruse some clever posts in placed of the common spam I unearth flying all around the net.
