The nicest boat I ever sailed

[Hwyl]

She's called Julie Mother, I just found a nice sailing picture of her. She's built by Sangermani, Mahogany on stainless steel. She was laid up for a while. Just about a hundred feet on deck.

Got to put a link because it's a copyrighted picture. Go to http://www.jrtphoto.com/index.php and write in the search box Julie Mother. I can't get the direct link to work.
Here's another picture of her not looking her best fix that tack (http://www.cantierisangermani.com/sito/ing_set.htm) I see that site says her fastest 24 hour run was 416 miles, I wish I'd been aboard for that. She's a little tender, but what a boat. It's so much fun tacking a 30 M boat just by turning the wheel.

That James Robertson Taylor site has some great pictures.

The name by the way was translated from Juilia Madre, which apparently makes sense in Italian, but the owner did not want to be recognised, so chose an Anglicised version.

I see that site says her fastest 24 hour run was 416 milesThat's awesome! Even with all that waterline, she had to be at hull speed++ for the entire twenty four hours.

So much for that inverse relationship between the size of the boat and the amount of enjoyment it provides, eh?;)

Impressive!!

There used to be a Herreshof Bar Harbor 31 here rerigged with a very tall mast. Sailing (and tacking) that boat was dreamlike, too. The tiller was a mere three feet long but she was as light to the touch as a Twelve and a Half and she turned almost as quickly.

Remember how it took us four hours to get to Monhegan from our dock? Indian would take us the twelve miles out there in an hour and a
forty five minutes for lunch, beat another twelve to Seguin and run back to her mooring before five in the afternoon.

I really miss her and it's kind of sad to see her cradled up, unrestored and all but ignored at the Herreshoff Museum. A thoroughbred out to stud that no one hires out.

The museum just needs donations to get on about restoration of those boats. Good for boat builders, too!

Darn MySQL must be making the links on the fly. This one didn't work.

Thanks for trying.

For me, it was this Dick Newick boat. The sensation of sailing at 17 kts. without commotion in 14 kts. of wind has to be experienced.

It is not that the link does not work. It is a 4.4M !!!!file.
Just wait 20-30 minutes thats all. It is common for photographers to not understand how the internet works.

If the photographer wants to protect their work just post the photo at 600 pixels wide at 72 dpi and everyone can see it, but if they try to print the photo to sell, the quality will be VERY poor.

The link works fine. The search engine doesn't locate any images of Julie Mother which is what I understand Hwyl wanted to show in his original message.

Searching on the name of the designer reveals that there seem to be no images of Julie Mother on that site by that name. Further searching under variations of the Italian spelling for the name of the boat also reveal that there seem to be no images of the boat in the site's database.

Since none of us is the photographer, we have no control over the size of the image file he puts up, nor its filename.

Some photographers do try to block url linking, as we are in the habit of doing here, but I'm not sure Mr. Taylor is among them.

As a photographer who discovered this forum through a search for my images on the web, I have great sympathy with others who feel pretty uncomfortable with url linking and mirroring. However, it's a little better than outright theft, and in the context of this forum I'm somewhat more comfortable than if I found a link on webshots, for instance.

In my experience, it's nearly universally uncommon for photographers to understand how the internet works. What's common is for snappers and picture takers to not have a clue.

This image of Julie Mother comes from Sangermani's site.

Works for me on marginal DSL. I did have to play around. I like that photographers site.
