Each of these boats has a story and photos. If anyone shows interest, I will post lots of pictures and some stories. capt.fred https://flic.kr/p/vb9zsx 1969
BTW, of course I was not alone. One beautiful woman helped all these years

Fred, I love the pictures. Daedalus looked to be a heck of a build and a beautiful boat. I wish my parents had been more into sailing when I was a child

Welcome!

I'm not quite as old (56) but for better or worse have owned more sailboats (14) but topped out at a 34 ft 9-tonner. Like you, THE ADMIRAL and I have settled on a smaller one (17 foot open cat rigged sharpie). You've had some beauts over the years!
