So this was in a Folkboat? I'm guessing from the vintage it was a traditional
wooden clinker version. I'm impressed - although its a very seaworthy vessel,
they are rather short on comfort. I sailed one a fair amount for several
seasons, including my friend's initial delivery from New York to Boston, when
the pump had to be manned 15 minutes every hour if we were heeled to port. A
great boat when it in the groove!

A wonderful story; thanks Frank!

FYI, I didn't just decide to post this out of the blue to gratify my
own ego. It's a spinoff from a discussion about Folkboats in the
thread "Best small cruiser under $10K" where a coupla people asked me
to write up my memories.
