Brazilian Classics

Eduardo Hamond Regua steering Cairu II, a Class Brasil, designed by Sparkman & Stephens. I participated on the Classic Boat Regatta in Búzios following his invitation. Cangrejo, another Sparkman & Stephens design is sailing in the backround.
Thalassa - A Carioca Class in prime condition, with a lovely wooden cabin.
Cairu III, designed by Sparkman & Stephens in 1953. She is an example of th great genious of Sparkman & Stephens. The boat is a brave and prized participant on many regattas.
Chestnut Tree was built in Italy, in 1965, to plans by Sangermani. She was brought back to life after almost going beyond repair.

 Dalia is actually not a classic but a 2003 recreation, according to plans from 2003. She is a shooner.
Froya II -  The gracefull yawl, which has been just re-launched last month. It was her first outing, and she looked superb. She was built in 1965, to a design by Phillip Rhodes, as a bermuda yawl. She was built in Norway, and has a colorful story. She has also carried the names Saga and My Hobby.

Lady Lou, Torben Grael's lovely boat. She is a Cal 50. The teak deck was added during a recent, thorogh re-fit at the renomed Kalmar yard. The additions make the fine lines looke even better, and she is in prime condition.

Muito legal essa regata. Nós iamos participar num Arpege 1979, mas o motor do barco deu problema e o dono não quis arriscar do Rio até Buzios sem motor...

Roger,
pena que não vieram. Teria ficado bonito na raia. É legal ver crescer o interesse pelos belos barcos antigos.
Abraços,
