Age of Boat

Submitted by johnrmcl on Fri, 02/17/2006 - 13:44
The Thistle people are having a fun contest to find the person with the greatest differential between the skipper's age and that of the boat. That is, how much older is your boat than you are? The leader at the moment has a boat that is 16 years older than the skipper. Any Scot entries?[:D] Ngulule Customflex #1554

My Scot is only a bit older than I. Its a great boat still - I love it and my newlywed thinks its a blast too. She really loves coming around a point and catching a big wind. Michael - 1972 FS1909 - 1971

I know of several who can beat those numbers...myself, I'm a '53 model, original, still kicking. My 277 is a late '60, completely restored and in a lot better shape than I. Maybe I'll get a carbon fibre knee for Easter... Happy sailing, aand let'er run...
