Year: 2012 Language: English Author: Lammerts van Bueren J. Genre: Technical document Publisher: Ingomar BV Format: PDF Quality: eBook Pages count: 47 Description: ‘Ingomar’ was one of the first of the nine great Herreshoff (NGH) steel-hulled schooner yachts. She was designed and built the same year as ‘Reliance’ in 1903. Before ‘Ingomar’ all the big Herreshoff sailing yachts had been single-stickers, consisting mostly of the America’s Cup boats. By commissioning ‘Ingomar’, Morton F Plant persuaded NGH that schooners, too, had merit. In his notes, NGH calls ‘Ingomar’ a “wonderfully good schooner” that easily proved the fastest of her type. He wrote that he had sailed on her a few times and was well pleased. Charlie Barr, who had sailed ‘Reliance’ to victory in the summer of 1903 when both yachts made their debut, became ‘Ingomar’s’ skipper the following season, and he, too, was well pleased. Writing to NGH, after a 1904 trans-Atlantic crossing, he said: “Ingomar is as good a cruising yacht as you will find any-where”.
