We just returned from our Vineyard cruise. Here's a few pics pulled
from the summer's pile o' pixels. There are two mystery boats for the
experts to identify. I know the answer to the first (as should many
readers) but I'm not sure about the the second.

Why are you lying about those whales? I've seen those same pictures
years ago. Even the bird is in the exact same position as it was way
back then... Shame! Do you really sail or do you just fake it?

Looks like Serrafyn.

Too easy.

I noticed it as we came in but didn't quite recognize it. I pointed
it out to my wife and told her it was in the style of a Bristol
Channel Cutter. Later, when the launch picked us up another passenger
said that our dinghy (a Fatty Knees) was designed for his boat. I
asked if he had the Bristol Channel Cutter, and he said "No, I meant
our specific boat." Sure enough, he had bought Serrafyn from the Pardeys.

It's certainly a Lyle Hess design, perhaps a Bristol Channel Cutter (28') or
a Falmouth Cutter (22').

The second mystery boat looks like a Shields, but perhaps a 6m..

That's a pretty lame troll. Show me your alleged copies. I could
easily post the original unedited pics (these were the best of 37 I
snapped) and you can can read the tags. But why would I fake such low
quality pics when I already posted much better pics, taken with a much
better camera (Canon G5 rather than a Pentax OptioWP) two years ago
about ten miles north?

The Pentax is a great submersible pocket camera, as the kayak pic
shows, but without a view finder, and a screen that gets washed out,
not to mention a tiny lens, it isn't up to the whale photography. My
disappointment with these shots is why on our next trip I brought the
G5 and played with it in Hadley's.

Great pics, Jeff...loved the one of Amelia and Molly in the
tree....Amelia's really a pretty girl....those mooring balls seemed to
be realy close together...wouldn't want to be hanging on one if someone
was on an opposing swing!

It's very credible the first is Seraffyn... the outboard,
the pole bowsprit, the wide spread lowers... it's not a
production model Bristol Channel Cutter, at any rate.

The second is (I think) one of the Herreshoff knockabouts,
perhaps a Buzzard's Bay 15? The reverse curve under the bow
overhang is distinctive, you see it on the NY 40s and some
of the early meter boats too. I think I know where to look
it up.

Beautiful pics, Jeff, thanks!
