After a whirlwind trip to North VT - I bagged a Puddleduck...I hear they taste like chicken.

I enjoyed your visit. Next time you need to buy a boat be sure to call me!
Here's a pretty shot:

Beautiful! Ship's bell, binnacle, dodger ... very salty. I assume there are accommodations for the ice cubes?

Plenty o' space for the 12 v Blender.... 8)

Oh yes, and after these pictures were taken, I properly flemished the dock lines!

I can atest to Jon and his Flemish abilities... ;)
I have officially changed the name BTW....See if you can guess to what....Hint - there is a Herreshoff Connection...
-
Sprite II?
Jon 8)
-
Nope... Nothing so obvious.
-
"Clara"?
Jon 8)
-
Now this should be good
-
Nope... Would I be that stupid to name my boat after someone other then the Admiral? Female no less? Not unless you want a perm resident on that Futon of yours! :'(
Think Catboats - think what they are used for traditionally in working form....Think fiction.
-
The Pequot! ;D

Well now that would have been funny. I'd have every whale in the bay chasing me down!
But nope not it.
-
Gleam?!
Nat?!
Did I say "Clara" yet?
Jon 8)
-
Nope - you'll just have to wait until next year to find out.... :P
-
aw, c'mon
-
Nope, not gonna tell...no sir ree bob.... :o
-
"Clio"?
Jon 8)
-
"Henrietta"?
Jon 8)
-
"Poppasquash"?
Jon :o
-
O' I like Henrietta!
But...Nope.
-
Re-doing the rigging.....New blocks. these are the new main sheet ones. I'm thinking of going Tufnol for the halyards....

Very, very nice !
But you stirred it up again ... you givin' up the name or what ?
-
Nope.... I can't believe that no one has figured it out...I have always wanted to name a catboat this name and as far as i can tell no one currently with the CBA has a boat named this. However, Puddleduck II will remain on the stern for another year - just too much to do to fool around with removing the name. Her original name was "Tinker" (See Leavens "The Catboat Book"). Then "Watermellon", and then Puddleduck II.
Her new name has a direct Herreshoff connection. BUT not HMCo.
If THAT dosent give it away nothing will. What's wromg with you people! :o
;D
-
"Julia"?
Jon 8)
-
Good guess, Jon. But "Julia" and "Jennifer"? I don't think Adam wants trouble. He really needs to give us a better clue, doncha agree?
-
OK - how about this... Her owner was Coridon and she raced against Viator. Now NO googling you two.....I'm begining to think I need a new name....
-
No googling? Right. Piscator ?
-
you win the free trip to Florida! 8)
