“The first thing I noticed about the boat was that its aesthetics are a tad more modern than many Downeasters. These classically styled boats favored by Rockefellers and modeled after the lobster boats of Maine tend to be, to my eye, old-fashioned looking by design. For example, many Downeasters are absolutely laden with handrails. Now I am a big proponent of handrails in general—few things in boating are more needlessly irksome than trying to nudge your way up a narrow side deck with nothing to grab onto. But they can also be unsightly. Toy solved this problem by hiding the handrails in concave dugouts along the hardtop and on the foredeck.”
