Our 1916 Buzzards Bay 15 footer is on her mooring after the wind, weather and tide came together for an evening launch. We had the usual, though surprisingly steady, leaks that made us uneasy enough to tie up over night at a local boat club that was nice enough to lend us shore power to keep the battery charged over night. The next morning she was swelled up tight and we were off to the mooring under oar. With thunder storms threatening, we put off bending on the sails. Good thing we had the ash breeze to help us along.

Scud, a 1903 Bar Harbor 31 and Corinthian, a 1911 P Class racer; both Herreshoffs newly restored during the Covid-19 pandemic with our hardware racing at Saint Trope October 4. Kudos to Federico Nardi and the team at Cantiere Navale Dell'Argentario, and John Anderson for the restorations and to the sailing crews for impressive first time outings.
