Hi Brodie,
Thanks for these beautiful pictures of some amazing vessels. Where exactly did you find these exotic boats?

Brodie,

Great shots and a beautiful boat. It looks like you had a great summer. Narragansett bay is a great area to sail. American Eagle, the red 12 meter that you took a picture of is another of Bill Luders great works of art.

Also, that little yellow boat across the dock in one of those pictures deserves a spot in the bad boat names thread.
Cheers

Thanks everyone, it was a great summer -I still have to finish updating my logbook but I sailed 50+ times.

All of these pics were taken in Narragansett Bay. My mooring is in Jamestown on the East Passage side. So there are always lots of cool boats coming in and out of Newport. I cross paths with the Twelves all the time. Seeing both Maltese Falcon and Mirabella V this year was a real treat. Athena was in Newport two years ago, so I've seen all of the "big three" sailing yachts up close. Actually got to kayak right by Maltese Falcon at the dock too - very cool experience!

Yeah that little yellow boat does have a pretty bad name...wished it wasnt there to mess up an otherwise nice pic of Starry Night at the dock. I work in Wickford so I sailed over on one of my days off to visit my coworkers.

Sailing involves the courage to treasure adventure, and the wisdom to fear danger. Knowing where one ends, and the other begins, makes all the difference.

Very sweet-looking boat! Wish mine looked so ship-shape.

That Sea Sprite is a beautiful boat! Seeing your pics brings back memories of home. I am from Fall River and sailed in the taunton river and Mt hope bay on my 19ft sharpie.....Occasionally took my uncles power boat to Newport! I rememer cruising the docks drooling on boats I wish I could some day sail on or afford...especially the old wooden schooners and vintage wooden racing sloops.
