jonnynewbreed 2 Posted July 8, 2010 Share Posted July 8, 2010 Definitely a Schooner and judging by the bottom job I'm going to guess owned by someone who races. Perhaps it is 40-foot BB Crowninshield-designed gaff schooner Fame. Link to post Share on other sites
celphtaught 10 Posted July 8, 2010 Share Posted July 8, 2010 i hate you all, the one time i actually have an idea of what it is like 8 people post it before me. BB Crowninshield-designed gaff schooner Fame, for the 12309832 time Link to post Share on other sites
Slowboat 22 Posted July 8, 2010 Share Posted July 8, 2010 2 minutes late, and a camet shirt, short...or something like that. Fame is a very cool boat - glad that DC picked her up and did a nice job. She was on the "Save a Classic" page in Woodenboat magazine not that long ago. Link to post Share on other sites
