My great uncle Eric Johnson and his friend sailed to New York twice in a cedar Bermuda fitted dingy named the “Spirit of Bermuda”. I have a photo of them readying to leave the dock at the flagpole on Front Street in 1935 and a photo of them at a dock on the Hudson River. The boat was in the museum top floor in Dockyard a few years ago. I honestly can’t believe they made it after seeing the tiny handbuilt open craft with a cedar branch for a tiller.

That suggests that the students are building a model and not a real Bermuda Fitted Dinghy.

Which is it please?
