If these two boats aren’t sisterships, then they certainly are cousins. Both come from Rhode Island, both gaff rigged, and both have the same lovely hollow in the bow of the fuselage.
The one below is located in Mass and is available to a good home for $500.oo. Write to Peter at:
The other is in Brownville Junction, Maine. It’s been hanging in the garage for many years. It is complete and comes with a couple sets of runners, but the cockpit floor needs replacing. There are no digital photos, but I’ve seen old fashioned prints and am fairly convinced that she is related to both Tippy, below, and the one for sale above, in Mass. She has a mixture of bronze and galvanized hardware, is driftwood grey, and is called Grey Falcon. $200.oo Call Walter Cook at 207-965-8410

And there’s room for the whole family:
