What a majestic beauty this yacht is. The straight up bow cleaving the smooth water and sending that water up along the side. What a sight to behold. The small forward facing seat right behind the bow is where I'd be seated.
The fantails were some of the most beautiful ones produced. I remember the El Presidente when it was docked at Bahia Mar in Lauderdale in the late 60’s and 70’s. I helped refasten the bottom with many 3 1/2” #14’s in the late 70’s at Broward Marine. I hope it still well cared for.
I owned the GYPSY in Seattle, WA a 48' Shain Trimmership that is now on Lake Winnipesaukee in New Hampshire. So appreciation of exceptional boats is in my blood. This is such a fine craft it's hard for the general public to realize just how much effort--both monetary and elbow grease--is represented here!
What a way to commute to the office. Same here in the 🇫🇴🇬🇧 wealthy industrialists had home in the Lake District and had smaller commuter launches to travel to the rail terminals to get to the office in cities. The river Thames had popular 'slipper' lauches to commute on from the leafy suburbs to the City. Google slipper launch to see the style.
ad un certo punto della nostra storia qualcosa è andato storto… ci siamo dimenticati di quanto bellezza avevamo e le cose sono peggiorate. barca stupenda.❤
