Lets hear it for Race Rock!

How many of you East Coast folks would like to see Harbour Lights sculpt Race Rock? It is one of my personal favorites. How about you?

Bob

Yes! This light is awesome!

Looks like this would definitely be a winner Bob. I would like to see it done!

Race Rock would be great! I saw this one on a LI lighthouse cruise and thought it was quite a lighthouse. Do you think they will coat the roof with "white stuff" like the real one. I think the color comes from all the birds in the area. Am I right?

Race Rock would be a great addition to HL. I am hopeful that Plum Island will be another additon to HL as well.

How about the birds on the lighthouse?
This is the picture that is suppose to be on the HL Gallery index that doesn't connect yet. (hint to John)

Great choice!! It would make a nice piece.
Definitely get's my vote

Race Rock? I sure do hope it's in our near future.

This topic has come up before. I bring these old threads back up to show that there is a lot of suppport here for this one. Lobbying can't hurt, and nagging seems to work around my household. :-)

Bob, count me in! Great choice! Hope to see this one in the future! Thanks again for the LP!!!!!!

I agree! Lighthouse digest had it on the cover a few months ago. Would be a super piece even with the white tint!

Lets hope Race Rock, as an HL, becomes a reality. Most people think it looks like a "haunted house". Yes, the "white stuff" was brought to you courtesy of the local cormorants.

Great light that would look super in everyone's HL collection!

Bob

This would make a truly interesting piece- lots of unusual details and is a very stiking building!

I agree that the LH has a certain "spooky"look to it.I like it.Why does the link photo caption refer to this as an "infamous" LH?
Terry

Maybe because of the difficulties encountered and the length of time it took to construct the light?

As in the past posts about Race Rock Lighthouse I would like to add my support, voice, vote & hope that Harbour Lights will soon do this unique lighthouse.

A true beauty. It's got my vote. Here is another picture by Bob Mckeon

"Haunted" and "Spooky"!!! Gets my vote!

I'd love to see Race Rock as a HL piece!

Barb

I was very pleased to see the 2001 lineup of New England lights, especially Sankaty Head (one of my favorite lighthouses). Now I will again turn my attention to one of my favorites from the Long Island, NY area, Race Rock.

I thought I would bring this thread back up to the top to let everyone know what a great HL Race Rock would be. If this light was made by HL as an edition size of 6500, it would retire within a year, maybe sooner.

Keep your fingers crossed, Race Rock lovers!

Bob

Well, who ever wins "name your light for H.L. to build" in next years contest. I guess you can remember this thread

still lovin' this light too....

chris

Rumor has it Bob, that HL has tried to model the LH in the past and it was not up to their standards. There is hope that they will retry in the near future. Lots of nooks and crannies! Wouldn't a tin roof be awesome?(hint)

It's been awhile since I entered my "wish" for Race Rock. I thought I would bring this thread back to the top with the hope that HL will notice it and give Race Rock future consideration, if they haven't already.

Think RACE ROCK!!!

Bob

I'm happy you brought this thread back up, as just last evening I was admiring pictures of Race Rock. I'm new to HL and to lighthouses in general, and have been pouring over any/all books/information I can find, and this particular light is absolutely fascinating to me! It's beautiful and creepy all at the same time. I think it would make a great addition to the collectibles line (in addition to Sand Island, my sentimental favorite!)... Thanks again!

A definite WOW Bob. IF they make it, I'll buy it!! LISTEN UP - HARBOUR LIGHTS!!!

A Race Rock sunset. This lighthouse gets my vote again Bob. It would be a great piece to add to the collection.

Nice pic, Ron! The view from that side gives a different perspective of Race Rock. Thanks for sharing!

Bob

Will 2002 be the year for this most desirable Long Island, New York beauty?

I do hope so, Bob. I've been pushing for Race Rock for a couple of years. Those who have viewed it in person know why this would be such a great HL.

Looking forward to seeing you at the regional tomorrow

Bob

There is just something about Halloween and Race Rock that make the two a "natural" together."Watson, the game is afoot."

Now more wishing Bob M. - they've heard us and granted our Christmas Wish!

Bob

I was very happy to see that Race Rock will be a 2002 release. I am anxiously awaiting its release.

Great looking piece! You did good Bob M. (LOL) Can't wait to get that one! Another great addition to a great collection!

Well Bob we both got our wish Race Rocks and Monomoy point.Bill O'Brien

Race Rock LE will be delayed at least 'til APRIL!

Two of our favorites. Can't wait.

Harry

I was just looking at the pictures of Race Rock on the HL website. It looks great! I can't wait to add that one to my main curio.

Bob

It is Great, Bob!! I had a hard time limiting the amount of tight shots in the animation, there was so much to show. As it is, I used 13 different shots which is a couple more than I usually use (limit the number to keep the page from taking to long to load up on slower internet connections).

Love the extra shots Paul! The detail on the piece is a real bonus!
