I came across this over the winter in mattapoisett, MA. It was upsetting and interesting all at once.

Did you see a white Triton (mine!) with a blue tarp over her? :-) I know Brownell's well! You don't have your boat there do you?

Re: Brings a tear to my eye...
I believe I did. We were there looking at a boat that didn't, Cough Cough..... live up to its advertisement.....We keep our boat in City Island. It was very interesting seeing all the different boats there. If i'm ever in the area I would stop by and try to take it all in.

Are they putting her back together?

Doubt it. I think she, along with another Tartan and a handful of other boats, was a casualty of Irene. Keel and centerboard case were extensively damaged. I think she was being cut up and parted out.
triton274, I'm curious which boat you were looking at, I know a lot of them by name and know a couple of the owners.

Ah yes, I know her. Always admired her, very sweet lines, like a stretched Alberg 35. Very impressive in terms of her size, not sure I'd want to be trying to keep up with something that big. Sorry she didn't live up to her advertisement, it's too bad because she could be really cool.
