Ticonderoga

Ticonderoga is a 80' Herreshoff ketch. She was launched in 1936 as Tioga and then renamed Ticonderoga in 1946. She wasn't designed for racing but for "genteel afternoon sailing". Her owners had other ideas and she went to set more elapsed time records than any other sailboat, even beating the 19th century clipper ships. I had fortune of sailing on her once and she is a thing of sheer beauty with a clipper bow, raked rig and stunning brightworks.
