S S 34 and Jessica Watson
Sir Edward Heaths Morning Cloud - S&S34Winner Sydney to Hobard Race 1969
After some gentle nudging from our friends down under, we are here going to attempt to make amends for failing to congratulate Jessica Watson on her successful circumnavigation in her S&S34, design 1959, Ellas Pink Lady. Following in the footsteps of sailing greats such as Jon Sanders (1981), David Dicks (1996) and Jesse Martin (1999) Jessica certainly proved the naysayers wrong and successfully (and safely) completed her trip earlier this year.
We would sure like to credit her boat for her success but in the end it took not only guts but sailing skill to get the job done. Well done and congratulations!
Jessica, our contacts in Australia tell us you will be in New York early in September for the launch of your new book. We would be pleased to welcome you to our offices to perhaps have a look at the original plans for this great boat. You have an open invitation!
