Mattapoisett resident Bob Brack launched his sailboat “Embarker” on Monday for the 50th time from the Mattapoisett Boatyard. Brack has owned the same boat for 50 years, a rarity to encounter says former boatyard owner Art Maclean. Seen here, Brack and son Ken head out into Buzzards Bay on this golden anniversary of the first launching of “Embarker.” Photo by Jean Perry
