Spindrift, carrying sail # 18, was one of the boat photographs that were in the centerpieces of the tables of the Sparkman & Stephens celebration dinner held at Mystic Seaport on July 10, 2004 (click here to go to it.) This is a Peter Barlow photo that appeared in the "Best of the Best" book by Frank Kinney.

Its hard to make out the hailing port on her stern - its Port Jefferson (NY). Maybe someone will recognize the crew?

We need to track down the origin of this photograph and get Spindrift's story. Many thanks to S&S's Harry Morgan who tracked down Spindrift's original owner. He found it in a rating certificate book - measured by Richard Carlson of June 16, 1962. Stay tuned.
