Here's a blog for classic boat lovers - shots of the parade of sail after the last race in Classics Week - with commentary by Capt. Sherman. Above is Ticonderoga. Built in 1936, she's considered L. Francis Herreshoff's masterpiece. She won 1st in class, best overall corrected time, and a couple of other trophies as well. (Click on photos to see a larger version.)



Aschanti - 105', very beautiful Gruber staysail schooner, built 1954.

And this shot of just one of the dinghy docks will give you an idea of the traffic jams on the water during Classics Week. Great fun.
