I just watched all the videos I could find on Bill King.  Great stuff. I noticed that the wikipedia article on Bill King shows a "junk rigged schooner similar to Galway Blazer II" that to my eyes isn't all that similar at all.  The short video "King of the Waves" also gets close-but-not-quite with a wishbone cat schooner.  Does anyone have a good photo of Galway Blazer II we can update Bill's wikipedia page with, as a tribute to this unique man and his unique boat?  

'Deep Water' was the film made about Donald Crowhurst. The beautifully-shot five-minute interview with Bill King, interwoven with images of Galway Blazer sailing, is extracted here.

Valediction to Commander Bill King, to a life lived with dignity and courage, and with an endearing eccentricity.  Imagine what Galway Blazer would have been like with cambered sails and a Jordan Series Drogue to keep her safe in the Southern Ocean.  Bill King was a legendary ocean voyager and junk rig pioneer.
