Yacht Trivia Pursuit...

Not the one I was thinking of, what is the story behind Cedar Sea II?

Ok I guess this happens more then I thought, I am assuming both of you are correct but I was thinking of the Palmer Johnson Unity painted Ford Blue for the Ford family.

Ken or Castlerock go for it.

I like this thread so will try to keep it going... So

Which yacht changed its name and also lost it's square foresa'l and became quicker TransAt?

Dave

Is it... "Effort"

Nope, the yacht I'm thinking of had a fin keel fitted at the same refit as the rig was changed.

there goes my guess: Evergreen. Doesn't have a fin keel nor a rig.

Second guess: Alfa Romeo?

No,this one has three masts

Schooner Atlantic

No, another hint she was built in Spain
Dave

Adix? I think she was also called XXXX at one time

Thank Heavens for that.

YES

She was built as Jessica then to XXXX now Adix.

Well done, your go:-

I defer my go to anyone who wants to go next... sitting in an airport right now, no time for coming up with a good stumper

Go on, anyone else got a doozzie? Beat the panel.

Hey, I found an old dusty but very interesting thread and I thought I would refresh it again...

Lets start with an easy one, the name of the 60m A&R "Elandess" stands for what?

Abeking & Rasmussen would be my guess.

Juliane Elander Rasmussen was a Danish rower at the Olympics last week. Any connection?

Mhm no... I meant what "Elandess" stands for, it is the owners Initials "L and S". However you see I am not that creative in creating questions, so feel free to start a new round.

DOH!! Not good at crosswords myself.
