Thu, 23 July 2009  Antique & Classic Boat Rendezvous 2009 Featuring Little Vigilant July 25 - 26, 2009 Saturday, 9 a.m.-5 p.m., Sunday, 9 a.m.-12:45 p.m. Downriver Parade, Sunday at 12:45 p.m. Come to Mystic Seaport for a gathering of classic vehicles just like any other, except this one happens to take place on the water! The Antique & Classic Boat Rendezvous is a dazzling display of high-quality antique vessels built before 1965, including cruisers, sailboats, runabouts, launches and more. An award competition recognizes excellence in restoration, authenticity and workmanship. Dressed and in pristine condition, approximately 40 classic vessels create a colorful gathering along the Museums waterfront all day Saturday and Sunday morning for your viewing pleasure. Sunday at 12:45 p.m., watch as the vessels make their way down the Mystic River in a jubilant, costume- and music-filled three-mile parade. This year we feature Little Vigilant, a vessel designed for Drayton Cochran and built by Abeking and Rasmussen in 1950. During this time, Mr. Cochran brought the Concordia plans to A&R beginning a long standing relationship between the two organizations resulting in the construction of more than 100 Concordia Yawls. The 70' Little Vigilant was based on a larger vessel, Vigilant, a 100' sardine carrier style boat built in the 1930s. She was designed by Walter McGinnis to be able to navigate the inland waterways of Europe, and has a fold down rig and removable wheelhouse to enable this. Mr. Cochran used her for 6-8 weeks each summer in European waters, traveling as far as the East coast of Africa and the Baltic. She recently underwent an extensive rebuild and now operates out of New Bedford, MA.
