A

cold and rainy Monday in March may not draw many sailors to the river. While we wait for balmier weather, a glimpse in a store window can tide us over.

As if in a giant bottle, two sailboats in the window of the Inland waterway Provision Company.

A gaff-rigged cutter cuts a fine line.

Though the streets are rainsoaked, they’re on the other side of the window and the gaff-rigged boat stays in drydock.

A sloop in the window. The tendrils of wind off the bow come from the plant that shares the window space.

Just outside the window some longer boats to actually take for a row or a paddle.
