Seen in Sausalito . . . it’s a beauty although it’s not ready to sail. I know some of you have more words to describe that beauty, maybe even place it in a category.
All I’ll venture is that this no-name hull is a full keel cruiser.
Seen in Stockton CA. Might Florencia be a product of Stephens Brothers of Stockton?
Also seen in Sausalito, or should I say partially seen because of where it was tied up. It’s a 1906
Baltic tjalk that has its own FB page called MV Hindeloopen. built in Hindeloopen, Friesland NL.
And here’s a delicious mystery . . . ACF? Elco?
Seen in Los Angeles.

I’m drawing a complete blank on FLORENCIA. The design reminds me of the yachts built on Lake Union WA by various yards, primarily Lake Union Drydock. -George

George– I found it: Florencia is from 1926!! https://www.woodenboat.com/register-wooden-boats/florencia
The builder was Stanton, Reed, and Hibbard based in LA. Here’s another of theirs from the same year: https://www.woodenboat.com/register-wooden-boats/edmund-g

Back in a former life [ before retirement ] I worked on the water. Had a co-worker who said every time a yacht passed by “I hope they run out of champagne”. I would reply “dijon mustard”.
