Today I am on the road trying to determine if anyone is actually building wooden yachts in Connecticut anymore. In ages past we had Luders of Stamford, Joel Johnson of Bridgeport, Seth Persson of Old Saybrook, Franklin Post & Son of Mystic, Aderson & Combes of New Haven and more. (More to follow on this subject.)

I stopped at Taylor & Snediker of Pawcatuck, Connecticut. Nice boat shop by the way and thanks for the tour. They are busy restoring a water taxi from Venice of all things (very cool boat) and an early Rhodes sloop built by A&R (read very busy) but to me the most interesting thing they have there is Alsumar, design #11, sitting out back awaiting restoration! And she's all there and all original. It was all I could do to not ask them to rip the shrink wrap off!

I will draw your attention to the comment that has been submitted regarding our original article about her as follows (posted by anonymous): "She is at Taylor & Snediker in Pawcatuck, RI (it's actually CT but it is only separated from RI by a river so it's as close as you can get) awaiting restoration by an irrational and foolish owner (me)." To the owner: Yes, she would be a sight to behold and please restore her before your NY30 sitting alongside! She is a rare S&S design with the classic "railcar" deckhouse.

We posted an article way back in 2010 about this boat. I thought I would circle back to it as I think she is a lovely design. The boat would be a breeze to sail and her extremely shallow draft would be great for gunkholing just about anywhere. Her general arrangement looks generous and even more so with the mast forward of the main cabin itself. That sure is one way to handle access to the head, by simply having a door from the cockpit directly into it.

I spoke to the owner last week and he promised to send us some images. We'll get them posted when we receive them. The boat is awaiting restoration.

Here is an article from Yachting magazine from 1951. Please double click to enlarge.


I disagree with the author. I wouldn't even hesitate slipping her dock lines here in Greenwich and sailing her up to Penobscot Bay. All you would need is a little cockpit tent for the evenings. Like this.



And here is the deck and deck construction plan, which is beautifully drawn.

Sleighride, design #2625, is undergoing a major refit in California with design and styling by Adam Voorhees Design and engineering by Sparkman & Stephens. The boat will be renamed Aandeel. Click here to learn more about the project.

Here are a couple of nice images the owner of one of the Gemini 52s, design #2650 sent us. The image files are entitled "Sarsala 22 fathoms" which leads me to beleive they were taken in the Sarsala Bay. The Sarsala Bay is located off of the Gulf of Fethiye in southwestern Turkey, just south of the Aegean Sea. They are said to be beautiful cruising grounds. It looks like an easy sail from Athens, Greece.


Thanks very much for sending these.

Here's the general arrangement that goes along with that profile we posted last night. She's a very simple boat: pipe cots below, head, dinette under the hardtop and large sun pad over the engine. The concept is simply to have a platform for swimming, sunning and fishing, to have a simple meal and a place to change. She will be used for a very occasional over-nighter.

One of the best loved designs from our history is undoubtedly Stormy Weather. Here are a couple of images of her just prior to launch at Nevins in City Island. That sure looks like Rod in the image above. The year was 1934.


Here are a couple of additional images from another source.



I believe that is Polly LeBoutillier, daughter of the owner, Mr. Philippe LeBoutillier, with the champagne bottle in the image above.

As a follow up to my posting of Friday, March 18 regarding Bruce McPherson, after a bit more research and per Harry Morgan who works for Sparkman & Stephens and worked here with Bruce, we find design #2250 - Maltese Cat. This 1/2 tonner was designed by Bruce for his own use.

Here is the general arrangement plan.


And here is an article about the boat.


Unfortunately we don't have an image of this boat.

We've posted two articles about this beautiful boat. (Click here and here to access the articles). A blog reader sent us this image of Roon II at her launch at the Kretzer Boat Works of City Island, New York. The year was 1934. Great image and thanks very much for sending it.

We longed to sail away into the sunset

We have sailed to some amazing places over the last 18 months

Come along with us on Alcheringa

UPDATE: 2nd May 2015

A lot of water has passed under the keel since we wrote this blog chapter and the reach of our little tale has continued to grow. Today we passed the 80,000 page views mark which is incredible considering it took almost a year to reach our first milestone of just 1,000. We now average four to five thousand blog reads a month with the audience literally coming from all over the world. These are very modest figures compared to some of the leading sailing blogs around but we are very appreciative of each and everyone of the readers who have joined us on our journey. Cheers, Rob and Karen.

This week the top ten countries in order reading our blog were the United States, Australia, United Kingdom, Russia, Canada, Ireland, France, China, Netherlands and Germany. The U.S. regularly provides around 50% of our total readership.
