This 25-foot sloop was tied up at the guest moorage in Edmonds Marina Wednesday night. A quick Google search of her name and home port, Kotimana Auckland, indicates that she was built in 2017-2018 at the Northwest School of Wooden Boat Building in Port Hadlock, WA and based on a 1908 design. The boat was built for a trustee of the New Zealand Traditional Boat Building School and, after being launched in Port Townsend, she was shipped to Auckland, NZ. It seems that the owner sold the boat in 2022 and she is now back in her home waters. (Photo by Niall McShane)

  1. “Moon glow at 4:30 a.m. ” by Sharon O’Brien is an exceptionally striking composition. Quite beautiful.

  2. Hey Niall,
    While we are vacationing, I check MEN for a little taste of home. Enjoyed your picture of the classical sailboat and it’s origins. I have a few to show you too! Thanks for sharing here. Mari

  4. In these photos, Edmonds looks like a lovely movie set with no actors. It is interesting that the photographers choose to capture images where no one distracts from the vision. But what is the vision? Overseas, American tourists typically take pictures of residents doing their things. Over the years in Scenes Around Town, this is a common, recurring theme. Is hiding in solitude one of our things?
