Spirit of Bermuda launched
The Bermuda Sloop Foundation’s Spirit of Bermuda was launched in Rockport, Maine on Sunday. I've put up some more pictures of the launch here.
If anyone else has any pictures they’d like to share, drop me an email and I’ll post them up.

Bee ooo ti full! I love the rake of her masts! Fantastic!
Can feel my heritage burbling up: "Every normal man must be tempted at times to spit upon his hands, hoist the black flag, and begin slitting throats."

(I like that little grey stinkpot... anyone got details on that?)

Looks like it could be a Duffy 26. Copy of the typical Maine lobster boat.

Thanks Holly.
So the truck delivering the Spirit of Bermuda was named after "Newman" on Seinfeld huh.
How ironic. If there's one thing Newman's not, it's the Spirit of Bermuda.
But then again he is Kramer's friend. So I can't hate him completely.
