| 14031 | Ticonderoga - Bermuda Ketch |
|
| Bermudan Ketch “Ticonderoga” was designed by Lewis Francis Herreshoff, built by Quincy Adams Yacht Yard, Quincy, Massachusetts for Harold “Harry” Edward Noyes (1898-). “Launched as Tioga in 1936, this glorious ketch finished first in twenty-four of her initial thirty-seven races. Renamed Ticonderoga in 1946, she went on to set more elapsed-time records than any ocean racer in history. Ticonderoga held more than thirty course records in races on several oceans, surpassing even the best performances of the hard-driven nineteenth-century clipper ships. But Ticonderoga wasn't designed for racing. Her creator, L. Francis Herreshoff, shaped her for genteel "afternoon sailing," giving her uncommon elegance of form with a clipper bow, elliptical transom, raked rig, gilded garnish, and a bathtub. It is these qualities of unsurpassed opulence and beauty, combined with her astonishing speed, that have made Big Ti so incomparable.” - “Ticonderoga: Tales of an Enchanted Yacht” by Jack A. Somer, published by W. W. Norton & Company, 1997. “Ticonderoga” was 72’0” x 16’0” with a 7’10” draft – an elegant and very fast ocean-going racing yacht. The boat has raced across the Atlantic and Pacific, the Caribbean and Mediterranean, and along the coasts of three continents for decades. She won the Transpac race from San Francisco to Honolulu in 1963 and 1965 (raced by owner Robert Johnson) and was winning important races up to the 1970's. “Herreshoff carried out his lines to suit the flow of water – and the eyes of the beholder.” - “A Life in Boats: The Years Before the War” by Waldo Howland, p. 118, published by Mystic Seaport Museum, 1984. |

| 14080 | Rose - Ketch |
|
| “In 1982, I built a twenty-eight-foot boat called the “Rose” for Peter Godfrey. She was based on L. Francis Herreshoff’s design for the “Rozinante,” which is called a canoe yawl but is actually a ketch. She had a teak deck, and she was really quite a fancy boat. Peter had Herreshoff’s plans, and that boat always interested me, from way back when I first saw her in “Rudder” magazine and read about her as a kid. But there were some parts that I didn’t like, and when I built the “Rose,” I had the opportunity to change those and do it my own way. Herreshoff’s original “Rozinante” was designed to be built with a skeg that came straight down from the deadwood. I changed that and made the boat with a built-down keel. That gave her a wineglass shape and made her much stronger. I didn’t like some of Herreshoff’s way of fastening things together either, like fastening the keel on with lag screws. So I used bolts. I made the boat a little heavier, too, but the top of her looked the same.” - “Ralph Stanley : Tales of a Maine Boatbuilder” by Craig S. Milner and Ralph W. Stanley, published by Down East Books, Camden, Maine 2004, p. 100. |
