NR2 hauled ahead of Nor'easter




 NOAA predicts a strong Nor'easter will form, with fifty mph winds and huge seas offshore.  So despite a spare sailing season for me [crocodile tears ...we were in Maine for five weeks] my sister Nancy and I sailed North River 2 around to the east side of City Island where it was ahauled at Barron's boat yard.  The last all sail yard in the Bronx - where America;s Cup contenders once reigned and wer built - like commodore Vanderbilt's Vim, and Ted Turner's Courageous.

 



Vim built by 
Henry B. Nevins, City Island, NY

Courageous - the last City Island, NY built 12 metre
Captain - Ted Turner
