Launched in Maine in 1963, this boat today resides permanently on the opposite coast of America, at Deer Harbor in the San Juan Islands, State of Washington. The boat’s owner is Rick Strollo, a native of New Rochelle, New York, with distant roots in southern Italy and, from his mother’s side, in Ireland and England. He’s currently a yacht and property manager, more recently focusing on private high-end residential homes and properties rather than boats. Yet, prior to that, his occupation was yacht captain working worldwide, holding a US Master’s licence as well as a British licence (power and sail). “When I and my wife, Diane, purchased the boat in November 2014, I wanted to give it back its original name, the Flying Eagle,” Rick explained. “I’m not totally sure what it really means – ‘Eagle’ is, obviously, a homage to the national emblem of America, the bald eagle, but the other half of the name might be less prosaic than it seems. It could stem from the boat’s appearance, as, when sailing, it looks like she’s flying on the white foam produced by the waves.”
