Billy, the Pirate
  Photograph by Martin Hansen

  

Pirate Ship

Tramontana was designed by an ophthalmic surgeon named Thomas Harrison Butler. His stated aim was to design balanced boats in which families could safely sail. I like to think that he'd like the previous photograph of a visiting family on board that included Lucy, and her two boys Billy and Eddy, Frida's playmates. It helped that Tramontana has a passing resemblance to what Billy thought a pirate ship should look like. Here he is, running down the Starboard side from bow to stern, whist Frida is running the other way on the other side.
