Can anyone tell me what kind of boat is in the movie "Captain Ron"? What about "50 First Dates"? Are they the same model? Any ideas about where I can view pictures of this type of old sailboat? Thanks

Capt Ron
I believe Capt Ron is a 70's vintage 57' Formosa Classic movie "Just pull over and ask directions"

Captain Ron
From my understanding it was a Formosa 50. At one time it was located in the Clear Lake, TX area, (South of Houston) and was for charter. It's been moved but it's unknown to me where.

Cap'n Ron
Cap'n Ron's boat was kept at the Kemah Boardwalk Marina as of last summer. It may have been moved since then, I'm not sure about that. It appeared to be a live-aboard at that time.

It is a Formosa 51' S/V "Wanderer"
I think the 47 trough 51 used the same hull. The interior shots were done in a Set; no such shower.

Curt Russel's Pirate ship?
It 'looked' and awful lot like a CT and a producer told me, a yachtie, that it was a CT, but it can be hard to tell on these yachts. The "Surprise" from the movie Captain and Commander is moored next to the 'Star of India' black-iron clipper ship that made many doublings of "The Horn". These ships are great for miling about on and the reason their masts were raked aft was so when they did sail in a stiff breeze, the masts would straighten and they would have a nice angle from the sind aft for their square-rigged sails... Ya gotta keep yer patch on the same eye Curt!

Seemed to be at least 2 or 3 different boats
in Capt. Ron and the interior shots on one really reminded me of the Hardin Aft cabin Ketch. Maybe it was just the transom lights.
