Woody Report From A Far #2

Just when I was starting to think my cub reporter had done a runner & blown his advance on the tables in Vegas he files a report.

Rum Runner
A genuine 1929  rum runner boat. 52ft long. Top speed 45kts with original triple engine configuration. Now has a pair of 3126 Cats and can still haul 22kts with 50 passengers aboard. Has been epoxied and glassed 10 years ago. It is so mint Colin thought it was a modern replica.

Hyannis
Colin visited the traditional boat building school and museum & reports they share the same problems we have.
The area is really beautiful & lots of little Cat boats sailing everywhere.

Mystic Seaport Museum (just south of Newport RI)
3 lovely Herreshoffs, the green one belonged to Nathaniel himself.

NYC
If you need proof that there are very few original ideas in this world, check out (zoom in) on the masthead burgee of the yacht. The NYC have copied the CYA NZ burgee – yeah right 🙂

Making Rope The Old Way – the modern way is not that different

The new ‘must have’ for waitematawoodys 😉
