Classic Wood Yacht: "Justice"

I was down at CHelsie Piers yesterday when the yacht Justice pulled in. My jaw dropped open she was so beautiful. Thought you might enjoy seeing a few pics of her. Apparently she's 72.5', built in 1930 by Consolidated Shipbuilding. Her condition is absolutely stunning. Not a spec of corrosion and her varnish had to be close to 20 layers and done by a master. Enjoy.

Her scroll

Truly a labor of love (and a big investment) by a very knowledgeable owner with great taste. Over 80 years she has to have gathered some history. I'm hoping someone here will be able to tell us more about her. I told the owner of our boat that the feeling I got looking at her was much the feeling he'd get looking at a Rembrandt, which he sort of let slide until we got close up. Then he said 'I know what you mean'.

That explains her condition. Just yesterday I had a discussion with a fellow about how most people today consider captains interchangeable, nothing more than a license for hire and anyone with a license will do. They don't realize that we look on our boats as grand ladies to be properly cared for and respected. Then you see something like this and the love becomes so apparent. Too many people today think of boats like cars that just get traded in when they get dirty.
Brian, when I first saw her my thought was Elco, but then I saw that scroll and was stymied.
