The Old Pilot House Graveyard in Lasalle

This is where ships end their lives, as they slowly crawl ashore and disintegrate.

Green with Envy

Envy, the standard rig Mirage 24.

Picture was taken approaching the finish line at the annual Lasalle Mariner's Fighting Island Regatta in the 1970's.

Dacron was the newest material, cross-cut spinnakers were hot, and double slotting with the 170% genoa was common practice during this period. Spinnaker green on one side, white on the other side, was designed so the competion would have a hard time finding you in the rest of the fleet.
