I'm not a sailor, TriX - just a passenger - so I'm not sure which one is a schooner. (Maybe the first one?)

Yes indeed. Sail boats with multiple masts and the foremast shorter are schooners. Modern designs favor ketches or yawls where the foremast is the taller of the two, but to me, the schooner is the most beautiful (with apologies to owners of other configurations).

I wish I were younger and had lots of $$$ to buy one of those older Chris Craft open speed boats. Nice set of photos. I really like the sunset one.

Amen to that!

Your heeled way over shot made me laugh. I'm working on a memoir of our sailing days, which involves scanning some old film camera shots. I was amused by how many horizons I need to straighten!
