VFP Golden Rule Project

"Golden Rule was a character vessel. She had a jaunty rakish look. She was beamy but had a bold sheer ending in an upthrusting bowsprit supported by a clipper bowed billet. She was a ketch, gaff-rigged on the main, her masts raked sharply aft. She had an easy entrance, with enough lift forward, hard bilges and a long flat run...She was a pretty and able little vessel." -Albert Bigelow, "The Voyage of the Golden Rule" 1959
