Thank you all for your responses!

We really appreciate all the suggestions and tips!

Now come some harder questions:

There are other vessels on our site http://www.jsjohnston.org that
are equally impressive but do not seem to have any America's Cup or
Herreshoff connections.

For example, take a look at these extremely impressive vessels:
* Montauk http://www.jsjohnston.org/~montauk.html

From:
http://www.by-the-sea.com/articles/poillon.html

1882
Montauk

Designer:
Phil Ellsworth

Built for: John E Brooks
Owner: S.R. Platt


Centerboard Schooner Yacht 103 ft 92 Tons
94 ft waterline
Had a long racing career
She was launched at Gowanus Yard, Sails by Sawyer (AYL 1883)"

** end quote **

I was thinking this vessel was involved in a disastrous
capsize while at anchor, but after more thought, it seems
like that was the more extreme centerboarder "Mohawk."

Thanks!

I updated the website at http://www.jsjohnston.org/~montauk.html
Take a peek and see if there is anything else you might add.

I just put a few new ones up at the bottom of
http://www.jsjohnston.org/browse3.html and
http://www.jsjohnston.org/browse2.html - We're trying add more almost
every day. Take a peek and see if you can add anything to our
collective knowledge of these vessels!

Thanks again for all your help -
