and Lauren Bacall sailing it.

Looks a bit like a bloke,strangely disquieting.

I can see the classic Bacall, much less sure about the boat. What is it? I want to say this is a still from Key Largo, but I don't remember her sailing in it.

Friend of mine went to school with LB, no mention of boats. Bogey did have a nice one though, Santana(?)

Here are more, clearly from the same day as Searush's photo...

And more...Bogie didn't mind hard work...though he never had this trouble on the ol' African Queen...

Mine is almost certainly a crop of your first photo, you can just see Humph's foot in it. That's a bit of a disappointment to me, I was impressed at her sailing it herself, but yours shows she is clearly being tutored.

If that's what a bloke looks like then I think I'm gay...

Must be her manly torso and triceps.

She'll be 90, later this year. Same age as this old lady, Adventuress...she's still going, too:

I'd still like a go on both, if only for the tee shirt !

Careful, Andy!

I'll just go for a ride on the schooner.

 

[Seajet]

Blimey, is that a real anyone, let alone LB ?!

Last I saw her in interview she was still a classy looker...

Agreed, the boat it is.

 

[DownWest]

If she was born in '25, as was my friend, then not so bad. Shame people do not look at the person, just the face.

 

[dancrane]

I'd be wary of investigating the rest of any octagenarian person, DownWest! If that's what you meant.

Apparently she was 87 in that photo, being interviewed about her memories of Bogart and Audrey Hepburn...speaking of whom...figurehead, anyone?

I'll bet that's a studio pic. Has anyone tried standing on the bow of a dinghy & holding on to the mast for support while it is actually afloat? You'll only try it the once I suspect.

 

[Sixpence]

Yes but she'd have had plenty of volunteer lifeguards

I believe that photo was associated with the 1954 movie Sabrina...in which she was reluctantly romanced by...Humphrey Bogart.

Whatever he's doing there, it looks vaguely like something Dylan Winter might resort to.

The bulging gunpacks on the Hawker Hunter jet were almost always known as Sabrina's...

Have you not watched "The African Queen"? You really must if you haven't as it is a brilliant film, an absolute classic.

And, yes, it is just the sort of thing Dylan might do to explore the upper reaches of a river inlet. He might not have the German Army trying to stop him however.

 

[dancrane]

Have no doubt, I know virtually every line of The African Queen.

Interestingly, given Bogart's other movies, the boat used in the film now lives under a cover, at Key Largo, Florida: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/African_Queen_(boat)

The Louisa, the vessel sunk by the African Queen in the film, is now a floating clinic, called the Chauncy Maples.
