- David Crosby Is Selling His Alden Schooner Called Mayan
Published by sailtimeci at 5:49 am under Sailing
Say it aint so! David Crosby of The Byrds and CSNY fame has put his beautiful 1947, 59 foot Alden schooner, Mayan, up for sale. Berthed in Santa Barbara for the past 20 years and a regular entrant in the McNish Classic, she was the inspiration to one of the all-time classic modern day sailing songs, "Wooden Ships" which he penned in the salon.
The yacht was extensively rebuilt in 2005 by Wayne Ettel in Wilmington, CA. -- featured in WoodenBoat magazine. Mayan deserves a new owner who will sail her and show her off because she is a real looker. Crosby, who is now 67 years old has owned the boat for over 40 years. As they say, if walls could talk... Perhaps as important as the boat, the sale can also include the 76ft end tie in the Santa Barbara Harbor. $1 Million keeps the entry to such a proposition in check. Given that the annual operation of the boat has to be rather astronomical itself. Still, she is ready to head down to St Barths for New Years and over to Antigua for a classic regatta or two. Maybe I can hitch a ride! - Hudba
I adore this song. Thank you so much!
I own a lot of CSNY records (all of the members, in any configuration), but there are only mellow acoustic sessions on them. Lovely, but nothing compared to this. I am pretty sure I must have heard this version (or the other one) a long time ago in my youth, cause it feels like reconnecting wiith a primal longing. I am so much in love with the organ (Nash), bass (Greg Reeves?) and drums (Dallas Taylor?) below Crosby's voice and Stills' mellow beautiful licks. CSNY never got any better than this. I can listen to it endlessly.
I love that feeling.
When you come across a song burned deep into your memory.
It’s like reintegrating two separate parts that have been apart for years and are finally whole.
You may have first heard it on Four Way Street. It's a gem
I'm with you man, it carries you.
Me, too!💕🌊❤
This is David's most personal song at that time. And you can hear it. Wonderful sound, too. Not plastering anything on his voice, which to me is beyond compare. Deeply touched ...
There's few as SUBLIME as this. Stills soft aquamarine guitar colors to the sweet crosby vocal, beautifully, every version they've done is perfect magic sails into the eternal. I could listen to it all day long on a desert island, with no boredom ever sets in. seeocean ALL IS IN.
One of my favorite songs of all time.
R.I.P David...
My fav csny track
SadIy, this time is gone. GIadIy, it won't be soon forgotten. My favorite Crosby pen; it always evokes beautiful visuals. ty David.
There are several great versions from the '82 tour on Wolfgang's Vault (only $4.99 a month) Even in the depths of his drug addiction Croz was capable of making great music. I've never heard a bad version of this song, the one from CSNY 1974 is excellent, as well.
I'm stunned by this song. I never heard it before. I grew up in the 60's and 70's. The beauty and complexity and the outstanding (dueling) guitar licks. Really awesome. As beautiful and potent now all these years later. There is pure truth in this music.
This and the version on the Crosby Nash live album are both awesome.
Haunting music
HOW much I would love to have this version!!! Truly makes my Soul tremble then float...
Thank You
RIP Crosby and carry on
I have never heard this version before. Crosby's vocal is very different from every other version; Stills' guitar parts are similar to other versions, but everything else is subtly different. Thanks!
What a beatiuful song
Wonderful sweet version. Early Croz 💔
i was running from a truth as big as the promise of another day.
Another gold nugget from RT. Thanks.
This has a great 'Groove' and I love forward-motion music, but this kind of seems like a bastardization of the mellower, more hauntingly beautiful 4-Way Street version, which I prefer for it's powerfully nostalgic & introspective atmosphere.

I don’t know this one is pretty awesome…4way was the first and only version I ever knew growing up
Manassas had it all - loved this band.
Thank you
Oh yea!!!
The demo is better than the actual take
This is why, when young people call me 'Boomer', I just laugh.
"Wooden Ships" is not a classic, modern-day sailing song. It is a post-apocolyptic song. "The Lee Shore" and "Southern Cross" could be considered a classic, modern-day sailing songs.

@@carmain2605 That's a rather meaningless and hollow comment, don't you think?
Good point
10 years later appeeared in Deja Vu 50th Anniversary Deluxe Edition
HELP!!! HEEEELP!!!! IM SEARCHING A RARE VERSION, I HAVE YEARS AGO, RECORDED IN A TAPE.
IN THAT LIVE VERSION YOU CAN HEAR , CONGAS O TIMBALS.THEY DON'T PLAY ALONE. PLEASE, PLEASEEEEE!!!!!!
I think I know which one it is. I didn't save it and when I went back poof!gone! '69 Original demo at stills home studio, I think Young was on it too! Awesomeness! I think recorded before Crosby girlfriend killed in wreck '69! Good luck!
Marcelo Perez you are thinking of the version that was on the CSN box set circa 1991. Google it. That might be the version you’re recalling.
Has this exact version ever been released? The one on the 1991 CSN box set is different and I can't find any other early demo version anywhere
Chris Garmon I *think* the only studio version of Lee Shore appeared on CSN box set 1991. The first time the song was released on a record was CSNY’s 4 Way St (a live album). It also was included on a Crosby Nash Live album, Crosby’s box set (Voyage, a live version) and the CSNY 1974 tour live album. Not sure where else it can be found on official releases.
This has the same backing track as the '91 boxset version that was edited and it has new C&N vocals sung in '91. This '69 version has the original vocal and is unedited.
I wonder if anyone but Stills played any of the instruments. Or arranged it.
I've never heard this version before. It's Stills playing pretty much an identical part to the finished studio version, which never got officially released. I'm pretty sure Jack Casady from Jefferson Airplane is playing bass. Crosby's vocal is very different from any other version; I'm guessing this is a very early version, and that he refined his melody and phrasing over the course of live perfomances. And there are no harmony vocals by Nash, which to me was the thing that made later versions of this song so sublime.
@@hashimoto6220 This & the '91 versions are more upbeat - but I prefer the melancholy of the 4-Way Street version.
This is exactly the same backing track as the '91 CSN boxset version. That version has an edit in Stills' gtr solo and has new vocals by C&N sung in '91. Dallas Taylor on drums, Neil Young on acoustic gtr, Stills plays the gtr solo with the same Gibson super 400 that he plays in Wooden Ships.
Great of course, but the best version is the 1969 one from CSNY Box set
You’re right that version from CSN box is sublime. Here it is czcams.com/video/u_o7FNkjzb0/video.html
