This is a skipjack in an annual skipjack race on the Eastern Shore Md. The sails are full and it is on its way. It’s a working boat with its sail darkend and patched from work, but they did manage to clean up the rail sides with some fresh paint. There’s a party aboard too. Many boats in the race still work, with some owners who have made sure they still will. Keeping up an old wooden boat never ends.
