Jolie Brise and Serious BCCs that Sail the Oceans

Jolie Brise is at the dock here in Annapolis on her way to Beaufort,
SC. She, of couse, was a picture child for Bristol Channel Cutters
and for Sam L. Morse. She’s famous, as she is in the Best Boats book
we all know and love. While she’s not a “pretty” as she was in 1985,
she is just as perfect as she was meant to be. She is a perfect
example of a real cruising BCC. Everything is purpose and function.
Bill did a great job of rigging her. She’s a great sailer, and fast,
she made 7.6 knots on a close reach with a single reef in a stormy 20
knot breeze. The dinghy stows nicely on the cabin top under the boom
with special chocks. You don’t need a dodger with the dinghy up there
and the foredeck is clear for anchoring on for opening the forward
hatch. I think Lin and Larry would approve. I’ll take pictures of
some of the nice ideas.

Yes, Pictures please for the cubicle bound would be appreciated.
Thanks,
