The Noyes family had several outstanding yachts, like this amazing example, all named TIOGA. One of these is TICONDEROGA (TI ...CONDER ...OGA), also in the show. L. F. Herreshoff, her designer, believed that the bad luck associated with changing the name of a vessel could be avoided by incorporating the letters of the original name into the new one. Thank you for caring for and sailing this TIOGA so handsomely!
Impressive, indeed, Karl! ...love of wood, work, family, attention to detail, a belief in the value of the pursuit of excellence ...all things that Murray Peterson valued, pursed and espoused in his work and personal life. BISH should have all the qualities necessary for fine sailing and continued, romantic adventuring after launching, both arm-chair and actual. Sails, and gams below, aboard SUSAN with Murray and Sue are among my favorite memories. Fair breezes! -Art

His interest grew as the lines of a handsome, classic yacht began to take shape. By now they were also closing with him! When close aboard, they hailed with a question: "Have you ever heard of a man named Herreshoff in Marblehead?"

Well, thank you, David. I am extremely impressed by the number of amazing vessels in this amazing show. Reading your comment, singling out Eastward for such praise, requires me to honor the many years of collective experience, which is reflected in the finished product. The list of worthy mentors, who have taught and inspired me during my life in good boats, remains a blessing for which I am grateful every day. Please let me know if you are in the area. We need to take Eastward out for run!
