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). Justin. -- Justin C, by the sea. |

Check http://www.fss.org/ I have always admired the boat, but could never afford one. |

Not everyone can ruin a good idea as well as they did. |

I can see why they didn't show many shots from in front of the boat it's got an ugly clipper bow. The rest of it is gorgeous though. Thanks for link. Justin. -- Justin C, by the sea. |

As a bit of idle information there is a Friendship Sloop anchored in Chalong Bay, Phuket, Thailand. Built in Singapore and belonging to a boat builder (who specializes in Warram Cats) who originated in Liechtenstein. A boat that originated in Miscongus Bay, Maine, built in Singapore and owned by a bloke from Liechtenstein. Now that is a well traveled design :-) Cheers, Bruce (bruceinbangkokatgmaildotcom) |

The curve bow (clipper bow) with the long bowsprit is what I think makes the boat so attractive. It is like some cars, they look like they are going fast when they are standing still. |
