BARON BLISS DAY

Post by aukepalmhof » Fri Mar 06, 2015 12:35 am

Baron Bliss Day: The stamp issued by British Honduras in 1973 of 3c shows us some yachts, most probably local yachts and not possible to identify during a race in Belize City on Baron Bliss Day.

Mr Clem Reiss in Watercraft Philately 1981 page 30 gives on the stamp:
The stamp illustrates an unusual sail arrangement. The main sail on the lead boat would cause the boat to jib. A jib would place the crewman on the hiking strap in jeopardy of being knocked into the water.
