Text Appearing After Image:
Walter Cronkite the sailor; boatbuilder Bob Yunaska shows off his pride and joy— Cronkite's Wyntje (right) he s a 48-foot dream. A sailing yacht that took over a year to design and . ^ construct. A vessel that's got all the latest in rigs and electronic gadgetry. ^..^ She's christened the Wyntje, and on this day, she's plying the waters around Wrightsville Beach. At the helm, her owner, Walter Cronkite. That's right. After years of smooth sailing as the top-rated TV anchorman, Walter Cronkite has pulled up anchor and set course for a life of leisure on the water. He was making news in the Wilmington area recently when he stopped by to pick up his newly commissioned North Carolina-built sailboat. With that, Cronkite joined the ranks of the famous and some not-so-famous folks who have chosen North Carolina boatbuilders to construct their boats... or yachts, that is. For a look at what captivates a boater's interest in a luxury yacht built in this state, come aboard Cronkite's Wyntje. (The boat was named after the first woman to marry a Cronkite in the New World back in 1642.) Today, Cronkite and his wife have invited several friends, the boat's builder and one awed writer to join them. Most of the passengers were along for a short excursion; the writer was there for the trip of a lifetime. On deck, the newsman is propped against the helmsman seat, the huge teak wheel in his hands. He's pushing buttons and checking monitors overhead. Clad in khaki pants, bright blue sweater, suede deck shoes and captain's hat, he's talking
