PRESIDENTS DAY, 2014
Some of our Presidents who sailed.
President Kennedy at the helm of Manitou, a 1937, Sparkman & Stevens, 62' "woody" yawl.
From 1962 -1963, this yacht was referred to as the "Floating White House".

John F Kennedy's True Love
The last night of his life, John F. Kennedy was in Houston. Returning from his last supper, JFK retired to his room at the Rice Hotel to rest up for a busy schedule ahead in Dallas. As the hotel staff was cleaning the President's suite the next day, an announcement was made over the loudspeaker: The President of the United States had been assassinated. With tears in their eyes, the personnel continued to strip the President's hotel room, and a piece of hotel stationary was found near Kennedy's bedside. On the paper was JFK's last doodle - an image he scribbled out as he drifted off to sleep that night. It was a simple little sailboat, which bore no small resemblance to his beloved Victura.
