I guessed it, but then thought it didn't look like her. I've only seen her under sail (also in SD), but way back in 1976. -- Capt. JG @@ www.sailnow.com |

You must have been lucky with the last boat you bought, because you have no eye ships & boats. No I have no ideal, but after a quick glance comparing hulls and rigs of the two ships ...I know 100% they are not even close. Joe |

I was on the water, sailing on the 4th of July, 1976 for this event: Finally, in 1976, the fully restored Star of India put to sea for the first time in fifty years, under the command of Captain Carl Bowman. She sailed beautifully that day, to the applause of half a million of her fans, ashore and afloat. The Star of India now sails at least once a year making her the oldest active ship of any kind in the world. She is sailed and maintained by a volunteer crew that trains year-round, keeping not only the ship but also the skills to sail her alive. http://www.sdmaritime.org/contentpage.asp?ContentID=48 -- Capt.
