Replicas

[Lucky Dawg]

Waiting in the doctor's office yesterday, I was flipping through Great Lakes Scuttlebutt magazine and saw an ad for Abordage custom yacht replicas (http://www.abordage.com/ ). Sent an inquiry and the response is below.

They have a Vanguard replica pictured on the site. http://www.abordage.com/pearson-vanguard-32-6-sailboat.html

Pretty cool. Not in the budget presently, but...
