Yachts a Million

A Nordhavn 62 . . .  ??  exiting the Erie Canal last weekend.  Professional delivery crew?

It was interesting that something they saw on the bulkhead in Waterford prompted them to do a 180 and try to squeeze onto the bulkhead.  Was it thoughts of dining on sausage and onions washed down with a Keegan Ale?  Port of registry here–Port Colbourne–marks the southern point of the Welland Canal.

At 73′ Sea Fox pulled into Morris Canal recently.

Sutton Island lies just south of Acadia National Park.

Two-Can is a repurposed North Sea fishing trawler . . . at near 90′ and built in Urk in 1968.

I took the photo below of Wanderbird in May 2013, and I don’t know if it’s still for sale, but when I visited Belfast recently there was another

and newer Wanderbird in the yard.  I wonder what the story is, and where the black-hulled version now floats.

Top Hat  . . . with its own Mount Desert origins . . .  I’m not sure how much it’d cost,  but it looks like a million dollars.

 

 

And bringing this back to the sixth boro . . . Jamaica Bay, an unlikely name it seems, came in the Narrows on Friday.

This 200′ yacht was built in Rendsburg along the Kiel Canal in 2010.

 

Closing shot . . .  Makulu heading for the sound via the East River this week.  In the late 90s and early 00s this ketch sailed around the world at least three times as an educational project.  It appears now she’s for sale or sold.  ??
