Default Boats in films - Truman show.

Does anyone know what the little boat is that uses to sail out of the
show? It's very pretty. Reminds me a bit of a Stonehorse, but it's got
side-decks that go all the way aft (and for'd - unlike the Stonehorse).

The following URL says the boat in the Truman Show was a 25" Friendship
Sloop. The Friendship Slope was the type of boat Joe Richards wrote
about in his book "Princess New York". The original boats were built in
the 1890's. If you have not read the book it is one of the greatest
books about boats ever written (My Opinion)


I believe this answers your question.
