Opportunity To Sail In The Gloucester Schooner Festival Race Aboard The Tyrone.

Posted on by Joey Ciaramitaro

Al Bezanson and I are determined To GET YOU INVOLVED IN WHAT SHOULD BE ONE OF THE TOP EVENTS HELD ALL YEAR IN THIS FINE PORT!

The Gloucester Schooner Festival!

Joey…. TYRONE has a local connection as this schooner was designed by Sam Crocker of Manchester.  This year she will be sailing in her first Gloucester Schooner Race in the Medium Class with ADVENTURER, ARDELLE and LANNON.  She was built in 1939 at Simms Brothers in Dorchester, MA.  Last month she was featured at the Crocker Memorial Race in Manchester and here you see Harold Simms, owner Matt Sutphin and Sam Crocker’s great grandson Skip Crocker.  Harold was 14 when TYRONE was built.  He had us enthralled at the Crocker event with fond recollections of Sam Crocker and building TYRONE.

Matt recently began a chartering operation and is seeking passengers for the race and the coming and going to Gloucester.

Hurricane Irene Claims it’s first Victim

Posted on by capeannpainter

Looks like Hurricane Irene took an extreme turn to the West last night while we we’re all sleeping. Glenn (aka Swimdad) in California,  did’nt heed the warnings and left his boat in the water. Hopefully he can repair it in time For the upcoming Mayor’s Race at the Schooner Fest this year.

Good Luck Glenn!

From Glenn, (aka Swimdad) Former Gloucester Fisherman;

Paul, I  Was on the way to join the GMG Sloop at the schooner fest, but I ran into Mean Irene.  Boats alittle beat up, broke the mast and bow sprit but all hands are fine.
