12 meter classics in Newport Log-In to Post/Reply

Didn't know the guy, but Bob Teidemann certainly had an impact on the sport. I have the pleasure of seeing many of the classically beautiful 12m's on the water in Newport (chartered for day sailing, sometimes racing each other). I also know that a lot of the newer 12's have been restored and there is quite an active racing "fleet" of a few regattas a year for them, who's owners have put more money into their ressurection than they cost to begin with. Great stuff!

Rebuilding the 12 fleet can certainly be considered an accomplishment of a lifetime, which I would assume Mr. Teidemann had several of...lucky bastard!
