Absolutely gorgeous, all three of them. And good on the "unidentified clients" who have spent some real money and have brought back what are really three works of art.

I get my Herreshoffs mixed up, but I remember there was Halsey, Nat, and L. Francis. At least one of them lived in Marblehead, the town where I grew up.

I will be on the Gulf coast this Sunday, but hope some folks will make it way down east to Belfast to see this.

'Storm,' my first boat was an H-28. My wife and I loved her for three years and cried when we sold her in 1977 even though we were thrilled with moving aboard Mika, our new Hans Christian 38. As happy as we were with the HC, we never-the-less found our selves driving 150 miles once a year to visit 'Storm.'
Then one year she was gone...to Mexico we were told. Several years later when I was in La Paz preparing for my seven year solo voyage around the world I saw a sorry, sad sight. 'Storm' had died. She lay half sunk along with other abandoned boats. I cried again.
