Grant Goldenstern often sails his beautiful T50 Racing Sloop in the Conservatory Water at Central Park and sent us this classic photo of sailing on a bigger lake.

Watch for the movie "Bitter Pill" filmed in Central Park in which Grant and his T50 along with other Tippecanoe owners were hired as extras to appear in the scene at Conservatory Water. "Bitter Pill" stars Jude Law, Channing Tatum and Rooney Mara and will be released in early February to theaters all around the globe!

Hi Will,

My wife Nadine and I owned and operated Fleet Marine for 31 years (now Sea Marine) at Point Hudson, next to the Wooden Boat Foundation in Port Townsend. Last Christmas she gave me the T37 kit and I built it on our 48' Swan, "Harlekin", in La Cruz Marina in Huanacaxtle, Mexico. I gave your information to some other cruisers that were interested in building a boat. I had no one to race against but I did chase a lot of coots around, using them for marks. I also attracted most of the children in the marina. Great fun.

Your instructions and amounts of epoxy all worked well for me, although I have worked on large boats all my life.

Here are a few pictures of the maiden voyage.

Cheers,
Gary Jonientz

I am getting good boat speed and it handles strong winds well.
In light to medium winds it is great. I have a couple of pictures, taken on Tuesday this week, showing the down wind leg with my boat in front.
The second boat is a Sea Queen and the Soling third. I stayed in front and won. We all had a good day, no rain and a good breeze.
Thanks and all the best,
Bert Rose

Will,

I think you have a great business that makes people smile, gets them involved hopefully in a lifelong love for sailing, and issues a quality product.

We are thankful for Tippecanoe and your wonderful family-run business.

Hi Will. I finished my T-27 today. It is still in dry-dock but I plan to launch it soon. Building this boat has been an excellent experience. Photo attached.
