Photos from the '40's--Decades later, family canoe sailing results in a champion!

Dan Tucker, Marblehead, Massachusetts

These are scans of my father & his twin brother's class B sailing canoe. (Bob and John Tucker - Bobbie & Jackie, hence BoJack). All are labeled 1944. Location is City Island New York. They would have been 16 in these photos.

Dad & Uncle John began the sailing tradition in canoes in City Island in the 40's. Their baby brother, Tom Tucker, also got the bug. They would ride their bikes from Mt. Vernon to City Island to sail. The BoJack II was their second canoe, a real sailing canoe. Their first was a regular paddling canoe, which they added a sail to because it looked like less work than paddling.
