Here you see a 19½-foot Caledonia named Ned Ludd leading a 16-foot catboat named Shenaniganz:
They’re in the channel between Naskeag Point and Harbor Island at low tide on a calm day last week. The boats are being sailed by students in the WoodenBoat School’s Open-Boat Cruising class.
The next day, the same boats were grabbing good breezes together In Great Cove:
That WBS class was supposed to have sailed two Caledonias; however, a mast on the second Caledonia (which is named Swifty) apparently broke and Shenaniganz was substituted. She’s a fast catboat and reportedly had no problem staying with Ned. (Images taken in Brooklin, Maine, on July 7 [Harbor] and 8 [Cove], 2022.)
