Hello again Ravi-

The boat you are curious about almost belongs in a museum. Its the
Waterwag. Of Irish origin I am told. I believe there are just a few
left in the world. We have three of them in sea worthy condition! A
few in excellent condition exist in one of the clubs in Ireland where
one of our sailors recently visited.


Yes, it's still a racing class at several clubs in Ireland.
They are classic boats, I did a little searching and found
some info.

My wife & I visited Ireland a few years back and I
definitely would like to go again, we did not do much
sailing, just played tourist. Cork & Kinsale harbors look
like magnificent places for sailing though.

I apologize for asking so many question, thanks very much
for your answers and also for showing us your photos. If you
have any question about North Carolina and what sailing is
like here, please feel free to ask.
