Awhile back, I discovered that Blanca’s sister ship (the other of only two made) was docked in Alameda, California. She (oddly, named “Gypsy”) recently underwent a change of ownership and was relocated to Ohio. I’ve traded emails and phone-calls with the owners, and they shared some pictures of her as she was being relocated. So strange, to see “my boat” (with slight differences), being partly disassembled and trailered!
Here she is, with her fly-bridge sliced off and placed on the bow. This got her total height low enough for transport.
And here she is, being reassembled in Ohio. I’m told they’ll keep her on the hard for awhile, to do some hull-work before re-launching her.
Our plans to visit Mystic Seaport have gelled this summer, so I’ll be possession of plans and design notes in August. The new owners of Gypsy will be interested in them, too.
