Red-Handed Jill Posted November 3, 2009 Share Posted November 3, 2009 Since some of us have had the pleasure of crewing on this beautiful ship (and firing cannons at landlubbers from her deck), I'm starting a topic so that those of us who have been sailing on her can talk about the experience and share photos. She has been built over the past thirty-five years by Hayden Brown. He built most of her himself (although he admits that he had to buy the lines, sails and engine.) I've had the pleasure of being part of her crew for the past five years, including taking part in multi-day, off-shore sails. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ransom Posted November 3, 2009 Share Posted November 3, 2009 On the Aldebaran, things can get exciting! And just damned fun. I LOVE this boat! ...schooners, islands, and maroons and buccaneers and buried gold... You can do everything right, strictly according to procedure, on the ocean, and it'll still kill you. But if you're a good navigator, a least you'll know where you were when you died.......From The Ship Killer by Justin Scott.

Black Hearted Pearl Posted November 4, 2009 Share Posted November 4, 2009 Why? Is she for sale? ~Black Hearted Pearl The optimist expects the wind. The pessimist complains about the wind. The realist adjusts the sails. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
