Thanks for the correction on the name Balclutha. My mistake. Appreciate the catch. Also, while we're at it, it's English Bay, not Vancouver Bay, where we sailed a laser.

My first sailing as a child was in a Penguin on the Chesapeake. I always wished for a small boat with skin, but what did I know. I didn’t know till this article that Phil Rhoades designed the boat.

You will probably get several comments about this- The large sailing vessel pictured and labeled the Balclutha in two photos above is actually the C.A. Thayler. The rigging of the Balclutha, a three masted square rigged ship, is in the background in these two photos.
