The pictures of her on the water brought back a lot of memories. I was on board Atlantic several times as a kid during her days in Wildwood, New Jersey, USA. I have been following this project with great interest and have a deep sense of gratitude for what you are giving back to the yachting society and the world in general. Indeed, she is a thing of beauty. 18-03-2008 22:24:00 °47 Tom Schiphorst (Netherlands) Soave sia il vento, - tranquilla sia l'onda ED ogni elemento - benigno risponda ai nostri desir Mozart's wish for ATLANTIC 14-03-2008 17:19:35 °46 Rich Matason (United States of America) I have a wooden model of the Atlantic above my mantel and have recently finished reading Scott Cookman's book Atlantic: The Last Great Race of Princes. She was truly an amazing craft and I am sure your Atlantic will be just as impressive. I wish you good luck and godspeed and hope she visits the US at some point so that I can see her in person. 10-03-2008 13:58:58 °45 Timothy Wood (United States of America) My favorite schooner!

I'm soo pleased to see one of these old ladies recreated ! I have no doubt it will be just as graceful as her namesake. 02-03-2008 22:11:43 °43 Karel Beelaerts van Blokkland (Netherlands) This must be the ultimate boys dream come true and will catapult you Ed into becoming immortal. Hope you have the resources to finish this project in the style she deserves. That the global sailing community would love her to sail again and her phenominal history must be a huge inspiration. As Kelly already wrote 'A thing of beauty is a joy for ever'. Wish you al the succes, perseverence, inspiration and dedication to complete this heroic and mythical yachts dream. 01-03-2008 07:17:05 °42 Pierre Hugo (France) She will be so beautiful, that seas will fall in love with her ! 29-02-2008 13:06:30 °41 Roselyne Zander (Morocco) Congratulations dear Ed and Sophie, and Hip, hip, hip, Hurrah ! for this beautifull Schonner Atlantic that I wish to welcome to Morocco with even more succes, fast and frienship than Eleonora.

Roselyne 26-02-2008 22:19:59 °40 Daniel Luttgens (United States of America) She is going to be a beautiful yacht, maybe some day she will visit where the original was built then I could see her. 23-01-2008 01:00:06 °39 Mark Membrey (Australia) good to see classic boats recreated to be seen by all 20-01-2008 07:00:12 °38 Doug Stenning (England) Fantastic, i've been following this project since the website first started and she was just a load of random ribs waiting to be assembled. She looks fine and i look forward to seeing her completed. 17-01-2008 06:19:13 °37 Martens Isenberg (United States of America) I remember when the original sailed off her moorings in New Jersey and sadly when she went to the breakers in Norfolk. VA. One of her spars was used as a flagpole in the park in Norfolk. I have a Rosenfeld calender featuring the great Atlantic for January and was explaining to my four year old son her fame and beauty and thought when will she be recreated and sure enough, BRAVO! 07-01-2008 00:44:21 °36 Steve Harrington (United States of America) I have one of the original deck cleats from Atlantic, currently used as a doorstop 05-01-2008 18:13:48 °35 David Wood (Australia) Where is ATLANTIC now?. 03-01-2008 08:49:45 °34 Comment The original was sadly broken up, the replica is under construction in a Dutch shipyard... Roland Roy (United States of America) As a kid, I used to run her decks when in Wildwood in the late 50's early 60's. I am so excited to hear of your ambitions to re fabricate her and wish you much success and long voyages to come. 02-01-2008 22:00:53 °33 Leanne Dyson (United States of America) Great niece of Charlie Barr 17-12-2007 20:39:01 °32 Graham Moore (Canada) The truly interesting records are most often the ones that are held for a long period of time, ie: Windward Passage and the Mo-Bay Race, 32 years I believe. Such is the captivation with Charlie Barr and the Atlantic, one keeps revisiting the story, even after the record is finally broken. A fantastic project, offering the chance to go back in time and re-live history. I look forward to her launch. 11-12-2007 00:26:33 °31 Robin Morgan (Italy) What are you guys going to do about sails? 10-12-2007 20:35:16 °30 Peter Harman (Cayman Islands) Gorgeous! 08-12-2007 14:37:27 °29 Gordon Shannon (Canada) Well Done Chaps. She's looks great with the deck house on. Can't wait till she sails on the pond again. 07-12-2007 20:58:30 °28 Dale Barr Lothrop (United States of America) This is GREAT! My sister and I are decendants of Charlie Barr and are following this project with interest. Keep up the good work. 02-12-2007 20:18:30 °27 Roger Scales (Australia) Bravo, for someone who has 'swallowed the anchor' years ago, to feel the power of this mighty vessel under ones feet would be enough to regurgitate it. I have admired 'Atlantic' for many years. How grand is the task that lies before you. 13-10-2007 13:25:53 °26 R J Schoester (Netherlands) Weer een geweldig project wat ik met interesse zal volgen. Hopelijk kan ik je weer eens ontmoeten. gr Rob Schoester nu weer in NL. 24-09-2007 15:46:33 °25 Laurent (France) Merci Ed, c'est grâce à des hommes comme toi que nous pouvons voir revivre les plus belles merveilles de la mer : l'Eleonora et maintenant l'Atlantic. Je t'aiderai jusqu'au bout dans ton oeuvre... 31-08-2007 18:57:06 °24 David Hendry (United States of America) About 20 years ago I brokered the sale of Bolero to Ken Wallis who raised the Atlantic in Norfolk only to have her sunk by vandals and subsequently sunk offshore by the USCG... I believe... Your project is most laudable and I along with many others would love to have my hands on her wheel oneday. 13-08-2007 15:41:43 °23 Michael F. Vandenberg (United States of America) I too remember the Atlantic from a plastic model kit, but also having seen her tied up in the Tidewater area when in the Navy some thirty years ago. I am glad to see her being recreated and updated. I would love a tour of the completed ship, and even more to sail on her! All my best on this project! 29-07-2007 20:07:08 °22 jm vennin (France) Thank you Mister for this fantastic project. Mr Ch. Barr fill Happy to see again his Schooner, together with the Designer and the Owner. Good luck to realise this fabulous Machine. 09-07-2007 22:32:35 °21 George (Wales) Great to see someone with the guts to re-build a fine boat. If you need extra hands working on the boat I am more than happy to give my service. George Atkins 30-06-2007 19:30:49 °20 Greg Waltjen (United States of America) Ed; I applaud your daring. I sailed with you and Francis on Eleonora before her sale then with the new owner several times after. I admire your dream to recreate a legend. I have no doubt that she will be even more grand then the original. Please tell Francis I said hi and include me on your crew list if you would. I would love to be a part of this history making project. Bravo Best Regards Greg Waltjen 07-06-2007 01:08:34 °19 Scoot Davis Reese (United States of America) Extremely excited about your project. Have been a fan of the Atlantic ever since I was old enough to understand what she was and what she stood for. A 40" model of her stands proud in my library. 22-05-2007 23:08:23 °18 Richard Pearsall (United States of America) I owned a plastic model of the Atlantic when I was a kid. looked at it every day and imagined standing on the deck or being at the wheel under sail. It is a magnificent boat. I'll at least get to see it sail again and who knows perhaps even to be on deck under sail. Will it have the centerboard as the original did?Anyone interested in this vessel must read Atlantic the last great race of princes by Scott Cookman. 20-04-2007 20:24:49 °17 Stefano B (Italy) I love B/N pictures but I long to see more colour pictures on this site as soon as possible!! Good luck for this fantastic dream! Nicely ste 20-04-2007 20:18:16 °16 Chris Benetti (United States of America) Looking forward to following your progress! I've been an admirer of the SY Atlantic ever since the publication of McCrays rendition in a long ago edition of Wooden Boat Magazine. I hope to be there to see her at her first American port of call. All the best, Chris Benetti 20-04-2007 20:04:57 °15 Alessandro Turchetto (Italy) Have a good wind new Atlantic! From the same designer of the already best olympic class: star! Only a small question ... How can you reproduce her captain too? May be many Atlantic but just only one Charlie Barr! ITA 96 FINN 20-04-2007 19:45:08 °14 Roberto Lamberti (Italy) saluti 20-04-2007 19:39:52 °13 Douglas F Jones (United States of America) That ATLANTIC would once again grace the world's oceans is too good to be true. She will surely be, once again, the very spirit of power, speed and beauty. Best wishes and please tell me how I can see her when she's done! Or better yet, sail on her. 09-02-2007 18:12:58 °12 Gunther Massury (Italy) Che bella barca ! Un progetto coraggioso ! Tanti auguri ! Buon vento 30-01-2007 20:42:19 °11 Thad Koza (United States of America) Interesting project, all the best for success and fair winds ! Keep me posted.
