  • Two different yachts, cuddle moose.

  • I'm confused. Is the "Honey Fitz" and the "Sequoia" the same boat?

  • @JoeRnCT The back wards tow is for drag. Keep the Honey Fitz from making skids or wandering as its not under power and rudders are not being used. Or are not that effective with out the screws turning.

  • I was on that ship when it was owned by a guy who owned the Showboat Inn hotel / restaurant in Greenwich, CT. By the way....shouldn't the towed boat be facing forward for less drag???

  • wow, thanks for the history. 5 stars *****
