Two sailboats are moored at Martin Point, Friendship, Maine. That is the mouth of Hatchet Cove, my Maine homeport. I've seen the longer of them - the ketch before, but the smaller gaff rigged boat is new to me. And it looks brand new. The ketch is a classic L. Francis Herreshoff design - a Rozinante, which the master described as a "canoe yawl" even though it's technically a ketch. I of course am partial to L. Francis because my boat - a Buzzards Bay 14 - was designed by him.
Today I headed out for an evening spin, noticed that the two sailboats (which I understand to be owned by the Pickering family) were not on their moorings. So as I headed south on the Muscongus Bay I kept an eye out for their boats. When I saw the tell tale shape of a gaff rig I headed that way. I arrived as the two boats converged. And got these next few shots. - GWC
