It was really fun for me to see that great photo of the schooner Lynx. I was fortunate to be working for Nat Wilson Sailmakers (sorry, no website) when she was being built, and we built the sails. The boat is incredible and the sails are really wonderful, if I do say so (Oceanus sailcloth, by the way). We had a good time and even got to go to the boat to do some work while she was still at Rockport Marine. They are an inspiring yard that does just wonderful work.When the Lynx came up I realised that the man who commissioned her was the same man who had had a Cherebini built at Bent Jesperson's yard in British Columbia. I was working at Port Townsend Sails at the time and we got to build those sails and sailed on that wonderful boat. This wooden boat world is tiny!
Fair winds and Following seas,
