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

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