Default Recreation of the schooner Atlantic

I'm not going to try to copy all the photos and post them here.
But this thing is awesome!

For the rest of the story - and construction log pictures...

The Schooner Atlantic
The schooner Atlantic under sail...
The Atlantic Project

After owning, restoring, rebuilding or recreating a number of famous yachts such
as Thendara, Aile Blanche, Borkumriff, Zaca a te Moana and most recently the
Herreshoff racing schooner Eleonora, Dutch yachtsman Ed Kastelein is planning
his ultimate masterpiece; The recreation of the 3-mast schooner Atlantic. Over
three years of technical and historical research have resulted in sufficiently
detailed plans and information to enable a highly accurate and authentic
recreation. Having set a new standard with his creation of Eleonora, Ed
Kastelein plans to build on his vast experience and again build a yacht that
no-one thought would ever sail again. The project is certainly his most
ambitious; with her length over deck of 185 feet (56 metres), and an extreme
length being 227 feet (69 metres) she is the largest classic racing schooner
ever to be recreated. Ed Kastelein is determined for her to be the way she was
when she wrote history in 1905, her original lines will be honoured to the
finest detail and her sail plan will be identical to that of her victorious 1905
Transatlantic Race which made her immortal in yachting history. Above all, she
will again be breathtakingly beautiful, turning heads wherever the wind will
take her.
