your favourite boat

Your favourite boat: Just what is your favourite boat. Mine is a timber ketch I saw some years ago on a marina at Port Stephens. I know absolutely nothing about her. No name no pack drill. She was really nicely rigged with nicely raked masts and could have been a Hereshoff design but I don’t think any one who owns a Hereshoff would dare let their boat get to look so neglected.
From bowsprit to stern she was around 38’ and I guess around 9 and a half wide. There was hardly a scrap of paint left on the whole boat. She looked like a sun-bleached log cabin you see occasionally out bush. But her lines and the dreams she has invoked in me. Not a day goes by that I don’t have a little daydream about her.
So what is your favourite boat. It could be real, imaginary or a pirate ship like Captain Hook’s. Share your dream with us?
