Rio sailing in 1915

Esta imagem foi tirada por meu bisavô no ano de 1915, 93 anos atrás. Um linda imagem do Pão de Açúcar, com dois veleiros abertos, velejando regatta. São parecidos com o Caledonian Yawl do Charles Watson. Mandei esta foto para ele. Ele tem um Caledonian Yawl. Um pronto, no qual ele já me convidou para velejar. Foi um passeio muito agradável. Alem deste, chamado Anie, Charles tem mais dois em construção.

This image was taken by my great-grandfather, in 1919. It shows the Sugar Loaf with two open boats competing in a small regatta. The boats ressemble caledonian Yawls. These are fine boats. I got to know them through Charles, my arts teacher. Charles Watson took me out for a afternoon sail on his beautyfull, magnificently crafted boat, Anie. Charles' boat can be seen in the image below. It was taken the day we sailed, about august 2007. The year before He invited me to sail on Nessie a similar, but smaler, open boat with one mast, balanced-lug rigged boat. It is kept in the Marina da Glória.
