| A pretty thirty-something |
Yesterday I was at Tradewinds where this baby was docked. It's very pretty, don't you agree? It just sat there. No one around. Not even the owner. Regretfully I didn't get to sail it. However, I did sneak on board and get a good look.

So here's the questions: What is it. Does it have a real life replica, and if so, has anyone sailed a real one. I know I've never seen on in real life, but I do hope there is a real one.
Never seen it or anything like it, SL or RL. I am guessing it's american.

No, it's too pretty for a NY. The NY has these fugly huge cabin windows and looks like a school bus compared to this beauty. Looks like some sort of bigger IOD of scandinavian/american heritage.
ReplyDeleteAna, the boat in your photo doesn't look at all like any of the 18 or so ever made NYs. Looksie here: http://ny30.org/

Yes, it is the Galiko as the very anonymous user noted. Whatever it is on Ana's picture, it is very close, but a Herreshoff? Jane nailed it pretty good. It's a Herreshoff successor of sorts. If you check Janes post, there's a link to the New York 32 organisation. It says grace and quickness. Compare that to a VO65 and you have a brain meltdown, hehe. Anyway, Jane also mentions it has a Fizz 3.3 engine; That sounds interesting.
