Hello Chip, I believe we met you last season in WoodenBoat. Beautiful boat. We have a nice sunset shot of her. If you would like us to send it to you, let us know.

Hi Ted and Judy,
Yes, I remember and please, would love to see the picture. It is interesting to see the difference between two boats that are almost the same size. Your galley is spacious, but we have more room below. I think you carry more sail, our mizzen takes up the room in the cockpit. Love the little doors to your companionway hatch. Prudence has a forestays’l traveler, but maybe I will rerig it like yours.
Hope we can sail together some downeast Summer!! Your lofty rig should do well in Maine’s August, but come Sept when you would have to shorten down, we would just be getting going! …I think.
I think you should enter Prudence in the Great Chesapeake Bay Schooner Race this year. Most people don’t know it, but there is an invitational, non-schooner class for traditional boats. This year’s race is Oct. 3-8. Check it out at http://www.gcbsr.org

Thanks, Paul. Good to know and will keep it in mind. Good excuse to start a trip south!
