Sailing Stockbridge Bowl 2/18/24 - 2/19

February 19 




I've mentioned the newest boat in the Club, young William's "foldable stern steerer". if you were wondering what that is about, here we have it as we packed it up today....


 Plank & folded frame. 

That's the "backbone" (frame?)- tongue & groove boards fill in the cockpit. All fits on the roof racks of a standard small car. 

Here's how it looks under sail.

Brian's Maine boat - a solid stern steerer 1920s?;  Emilie & Hal's Puff, circa 1870;   several Arrows and Dns;  William's Small stern Steerer.  Great day, Great wind, a small crowd checking out sailing craft on this lake - fascinated & many first time rides. 


Rigging  ice yacht Puff -  Hudson River Ice Yacht. Built circa 1870, New Hamburgh, NY by Irving Grinnell.  Grinnell founded the New Hamburgh Ice Yacht Club in 1869.  He also created the Ice Yacht Challenge Pennant of America.
