All politics aside. What was Ted Kennedy sailing the other day. It was a fine looking boat and it was flying thru the water. Perhaps you also noticed it on the news the other day. thanks, Jack

it looked like a Hinkley. But it was quick and it definitely was wood with two masts, the forward most mast was shorter than the aft one. That was what I saw. Sure looked pretty. The Kennedy's have long been sailors. I do know they own a older wooden power boat from the 40-50s era also. I sure would love to be a crew member on the Kennedy yacht for that race. Keep it up, Ctskip

...has been restored and resides at Fishing Bay off the Rappahannock River in Virginia. It's magnificent, as you might expect.

In spite of his cancer, I bet Teddy Kennedy can spell throw.
