After submitting I had some second thoughts and concluded that AFRICA was probably in Poulsbo at the time, not Kingston. COASTER was definitely in Kingston.<br />I only just stumbled upon your site the other day. I will spend a great deal of time here as I miss the Sound and very much and love the maritime history of the area.<br />Where did you dredge up the history of AFRICA?<br />Thanks,<br />Clayton WrightClaytonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04418899747011954757noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2329306411423823444.post-47430222928992451152017-02-11T22:32:23.175-08:002017-02-11T22:32:23.175-08:00Thank you so much for stopping by to read and comm...Thank you so much for stopping by to read and comment.

I was and still am obsessed with sailing, and as soon as we moored I would run over to spend time with my two great loves. The first was the incomparable Murray Peterson schooner COASTER, and when I'd filled my eyes with her I would go visit AFRICA. Of the two I was most smitten by COASTER, probably because it is impossible to not be mesmerized by that clipper bow. But I dearly loved AFRICA for her sheer saltiness and seagoing character. I enjoyed the history you have presented. I never would have guessed she was a Bill Garden design or that she was as young as that. Any idea what became of her?
