Wondering if that H-28 named Hornpipe is the hornpipe once owned by writer
James A Mccracken. He wrote a wonderful book entitled Innocents at Sea.
They bought Hornpipe in Stratford CT. In the late 50’s. Hornpipe was a great boat rich in history. So curious if this Is that boat.
thankyou for your time.
