Classic Racing Boat
OK as long as someone brought up classic racing, let me share this picture of a boat built by DeDood (Germany) in the late 60's. Her name was Nicola IV. Anyone care to guess the designer?

That's a cool-looking boat.Jetstream wrote:OK as long as someone brought up classic racing, let me share this picture of a boat built by DeDood (Germany) in the late 60's. Her name was Nicola IV. Anyone care to guess the designer? ...
...Some have said that this was the first bubble top that he did that finally "got it right".
But I think Tripp got the bubble look right a number of times. I'd vote for the 60s vintage Tripp Hinckley 48 as my all-time favorite, both for the design of the bubble top and for the overall beauty of the whole design.
The one pictured below is actually a relative bargain at $195,000. I just love this design. It tops my "ultimate" list. That foredeck is to die for.

I've watched the lean-to being built and have been really curious what he would be doing in there. The boat in front is a 1973 Pearson 30. I am completing some rudder repairs this Spring, left over from the previous owner. The boat behind her is a 1961 Tripp Javelin 38 that is waiting for some $$ to continue a complete restoration. http://www.javelin38.com Stop in and chat next time by.

As much as I wish I could have my boat tied up at a dock in front of my house, I couldn't live in a place like that--it'd be like being in prison to me.
All those houses, cheek to jowl...eeech.
This is more like it, to me. (Sorry, folks...old imagary and no buildings or boats to be seen.)

I crewed on the high speed cat ferry from Hyannis Cape Cod to Nantucket a few years ago, and Nantucket Sound averages out at about 30 feet deep the whole way across.
At least where we were traveling... at 38 knots... in a 150 foot aluminum catamaran.
Used to get real exciting during the annual Figawi race.
The uniform shallowness was why they were so hot-to-trot to put up a windfarm. Or at least they were when I lived there. (about 3 years ago). Not sure whatever happened with that.
