While I had a coffee....

The family came in to port with our weekend rental craft...

Having to go back to the car to get my Captains hat, deck shoes and sextant I saw that the vintage was not only on the water.....

Nah... Ben married Jerry in 1990 and they moved to Sausulito and opened a roller disco together.

Can't be them.

Betting it's one of Bernie's Bronco's.

Great pics! Love some of those boats.. But never got the urge. The only people crazier than old car people are wood boat people.

And the only people crazier than wood boat people are vintage airplane people.

It's nice to have two levels of crazy above you. Gives you goals.

That green water looks like a good place to catch a dose of squam.

I live on the lake here but most boats here are wakeboard boat with towers, cigarette boats, bass boats, runabouts, etc. Be neat to see some wooden Elvis Presley boats with V8s and American flags.

Great photos.
Have a good time

My uncle had one of these on Lake Ontario. My ex partner's dad also had one locally to me. He sold it to my ex partner and I was going to buy it from him but our relationship went to shit about that time. Still looking.

Wrong, so wrong. People who are into vintage RR's definitely have a couple steps added to their level.

Love the hulls on those things, deep and broad. Probably more "aquadynamic" stuff out there but the old hulls look like the rule the water.

Thats clean sand bottom.

Schmidt and Bender challenges their engineers to make glass as clear as Squam Water.

Kind of useless for our boat needs - jumping out, swimming, fishing, tubing - but great "transportation" for exploring in a more civilized manner.

I've got a shirt tail relative in SW PA on the Allegheny river who collects and rebuilds old Chris Crafts and Gar Woods. He even made his own steam kettle for bending the hull boards. It's definitely a labor of love.

Some dude was loading a 50s Penn Yan into the marina as we were leaving. Not a 100 percent resto but beautiful....looked a lot like this...

I love the look of that straight down bow line that rounds to the keel, and than the swept stern that folds over.

Dont know the real nautical architect terms but those are mine.

Maybe @308pirate can school us.

One thing about that lake is that it is a landmine of prop eating death.

The big lake has a bunch of big fingers that can falsley confuse you into thinking you are on the main body of water but in fact you are entering a dead end.

Mrs pmclaine womanned the helm while I read the chart and navigated from hazard to hazard. The hazard bouys being the best reference for location.

I was pretty happy we didnt do this...

swept stern that folds over: tumblehome

Tumblehome....

tumblehome is an ancient style feature that
was origianally developed for war vessels as
protection against boarding....ie the attackers
couldnt come directly over the rail to gain
entrance to the boat, they had to fight their
way across a very slippery expanse that would
be slobbered with oil before their arrival!

dry doc is right, pirates attempting to ply their trade would "tumble home (to the sea)" boarding another vessel.


I must have a boat with Tumblehome if I ever own a boat. Its a real sucky feature for all other purposes because you would have to drag shit over the feature to pull into the boat but for the historical origin I love it.

Paint is a relatively easy fix. On the other hand (and keeping with the nautical theme), whomever cut the fenders and hood should be keel hauled!

Wonder if BigJoe ever finished his Bronco.
