A friend of mine belongs to the rare breed that travels around to spot ships. This hobby usually involves taking pictures of boring Cruiseships, Cargoships, Freighters or oil-tankers.

In his case he is spotting, photographing and cataloging tallships.

These american boats are still on his internetsite without their name and pedigree. perhaps you guys can help:

Hey Martin -- You might get some more traffic if you change the thread title to something like "Help Needed Identifying Several U.S.-Based Schooners"

Yes, didn't thought of that - and I call myself an advertising expert, shame on me...

Obviously, but you looked at the thread didn't you George? A case of overgeneralization, no doubt, but you get the point.

ASTA can help with a list of boat that participated in some of those events.
