SV Asperida

It's evening now but I wanted to show you the beautiful boat I'll be crewing on for 4 months. She's 52' not counting dingy davits and anchor. Maybe 60' overall. The boat was built in 1967 in the Netherlands and the captain/owner bought it in Beaufort here about 13 years ago and sailed her to New Jersey as he was still working in New York at the time living on a smaller boat. He worked on redoing the interior and it's beautiful. The hull is a unique copper/nickel alloy 70/30. It's extremely well equipped... Anyway here's some photos.  While Walter's done quite a bit of sailing on other boats this is kind of the maiden voyage for Asperida, not counting sailing her back to Beaufort, South Carolina.
