Actually, word is that these boats were used in a handicapped sailing program. Hence the harnesses, I guess.

Yeah, I think these boats may have been associated with the Special Olympics World Games that were held in New Haven about a decade ago.
Located at Pilot's Point Marina in Westbrook. Area code 860.
Thanks for hosting/posting all of this, Tim.

Mike,
I don't know what type of boat this is but I don't think it is a Tempest.
Here's a photo of one for sale near here
Neat to see all these boats. Thanks for taking the pictures.
I guess we're all just boat crazy!
