Pram Sighting

 23 Jun 22:

I cruised by the docks at Smithfield Station and spotted this pram, it appears to be being used as a tender for a visiting yacht. It has some interesting features and I need to go back and find the owner to see what their sail rig looks like. I suppose they made the daggerboard cap a little wider so a single rower could row from amidships. The white board by the trunk is a trunk plug for when they are towing and I'm not sure what some of the other loose lumber is for. The canvas bumper is nice, we are not going to attach one to EXCUSE ME unless we find a yacht to be her tender. Right now she has a nice strip of hard mahogany and we kind of like the idea of her scaring fancy yachts in the harbor as she cruises by unbumpered.
