More of your photos...
From Steve Hock: This is an O'Day Mariner 19 sailing in Niantic bay, CT. One of many Mariners participating in the Mariner National Rendezvous held at Maystic Seaport, CT. Boat is owned by Bill Eggers and family
From Jay Knight: Both boats are B&B designed cat ketchs. The boat in the foreground is a Mathew Flinders 246, and the second boat is a Core Sound 20 Mk3. Being cat ketchs make them comparatively east to trailer, which increases the cruising ranges considerably. We use the boat as our “camper” when we travel, quite convenient! The photo was made at the B&B Messabout likely the 2024 event.
From Richard Schermerhorn: Our old wooden Star Class sailboat back in the day.

Thanks…Keep ‘em coming.
Seeing that Star....just about as beautiful a boat, ever. And I don't really see them anymore. Newer may be faster, but Stars have "street cred."
