Pictured at the right is the prettiest lobster boat we've ever seen. She is the Sea Hooker, a working lobster boat owned by Jay Sahagian, proprietor of Marblehead seafood mainstay The Barnacle.
Next up is the new Numbers, an IRC 66-footer designed by Rolf Vrolijk, built by Eric Goetz and o
wned by longtime Marblehead resident (currently of Boston and Newport) Dan Meyers. According to Dan, his new boat is like nothing he's ever driven before - and he's driven quite a few (this one's #6 in the series). The boat's shakedown event, the IRC East Coast Championship, resulted in a narrow last-race loss to John Kilroy and his very well-sailed Samba Pa Ti (TP 52), and we expect nothing but great things from Dan and his new hot rod.
While we've not yet geared Jay up, we have outfitted Dan and his team with custom gear. They report that the stuff works better than advertised, and we think they look pretty good.
