I spent the summer of 1984 as an apprentice crew member on board the Bill of Rights. We sailed weeklong cruises out of Newport for around 20 guests. We would sail the Elizabeth Islands, Fisher’s Island, Block Island, Martha’s Vineyard, and sometimes out as far as Nantucket, depending on the wind and the tides. At the time, it didn’t have an engine, we would use our launch to push the boat if we couldn’t get somewhere under sail. I was 15 at the time and it was a formative experience in my life. I’m glad to see that she has been rescued and resuscitated.

I first saw the Bill of Rights at the Newport Boat show in 1971. I was a crew member on the “Royono”, a Herishoff yawl built in 1936- that was also exhibiting at the show. I remember going to a party on the Bill of Rights one night and watching in horror as people stomped out their cigarettes on her deck! Glad to see that she has found a good home at Channel Islands Harbor-ironically so close to my home here in California!
