Sold the Noe Mar to a great family in Port Hadlock.
May she sail forever

VermontGlennn said...: First, may the holiday be well for you and yours.

Suppose the story comes first.

My first ex hailed from quite the matrilinear family (Spanish) Her old man, tho quite the distinguished naval architect working at the Philly yard, was banned from the great hall. His Austin Healy 100-6 sat unused in the garage. Finally he built a workshop in the backyard where womenfolk cared not to venture as the Main Line ran immediately behind some ill-kept hedges.
The first thing he built was a 12 foot skiff that hung from the ceiling. He gave me this stick for stick 1"=1' model of "it's a seagoer, kinda of an extended seabird"
For whatever reason the Good Lord had, this all resurfaced along with Harry Pidgeon, ocean racing and even a pudgy Russell Crowe climbing the shrouds in Master and Commander (yes I have all the books)
That being said I am pretty much a dingy sailor having downscaled to the above mentioned model in order to keep dreams alive.
This being said, I have plenty of detail for everything but the interior.
If you have any photos of NoeMar's interior you care to share I would gladly compensate you. If you are still alive in the Great Northwest you most suffer a deadly dirth of actual Maple Syrup, something we have a plenty in the NorthEast Kingdom (of Vermont, of course)
I am well past my expiration date finding it difficult to retire from a modest engineering tech job.
Hope you can help.

Best,
