A couple of winters ago Anne and I spied the limousine launch TOLKA at the Sunnyland gathering of the Antique & Classic Boat Society on Florida’s Lake Dora, where this boat, in our opinion, clearly stole the show. We spent a good deal of time studying her and snapping photographs.
No one was nearby at the time with background information, so I was delighted when TOLKA came up again as an article in issue #237 of WoodenBoat magazine that I had the pleasure of editing. Timothy Du Vernet wrote the words and took the photos. The piece is short but filled with detailed photos and descriptions.
