Description
Anthony Bailey, living in England, found a builder for the hull of his 28 Dory and with the help of good friends finished constructing the Billy Ruffian.
He then salvaged, scrounged, and occasionally - it was a great thrill - bought whatever was needed for fitting out the boat. Before long he and his family were sailing a simple, spacious and eye catching craft completed within his one thousand dollar budget.
The Thousand Dollar Yacht has won countless admirers and the status of a boating classic. The story of the Billy Ruffian is told from lofting to launching, and later her cruises on Long Island, Fisher's Island, and Block Island sounds-a story that distills the wind, fog, sun, salt, and sand, conveying the sensations of sailing to a set destination or meandering gloriously through coastal waters.
