And what country can preserve its liberties if their rulers are not warned from time to time that their people preserve the spirit of resistance? Let them take arms. The remedy is to set them right as to facts, pardon and pacify them. What signify a few lives lost in a century or two? The tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time with the blood of patriots and tyrants.
A lollyboat. A testament to shipwright skill, an 'interesting project' to a naval architect, a vanity to an owner and a sinkhole for money. I have yet to meet an owner of such that didn't think his success in other ventures carried over into seafaring as they transform into a Captain Queeg, Bligh or Ahab. Beautiful lines for all that, just beautiful. Buy the chippy a drink!

As an owner you need a trained 20 man crew to take the boat out, so no spontaneous day out because the weather is perfect for a sail.
