As a kid, this is the boat that made me want to go to sea.

Adventure, passion, discovery, scarifice, rewards, challenge.

Just goes to show you ........it's not so much the boat, but the
journey that matters.

Yelp a lapworth 24. The "replacement" boat was an Allied Luders 33.

The boats in the Gregory Peck *Hollywood* movie were all Ranger 23's.

What is more important? The boat or the sailor?

Dove has made it's place in history.

How many oysters, swans, and Bobspirt boats will stay unknown and
unimportant?

There was a beautiful Lapworth 36 at the dock on Angel Island. Sadly,

Crantz,

He wound-up HATING that boat!! He never finished the trip with that
boat. He sold it in the Carib. and bought a boat with stand up head room
to finish the trip.

Yeah I remember part of the journey while stuck in the doldrums he set
the boat on fire and threw his sails in the water. he snapped out of it
in time to save everything.
