Dear Shipmates
Introduction
Regular day sails along the East Coast. Always keen for extra crew.
About the boat, the plans, and current crew
Traditionally built wooden ketch. She's definitely a work in progress. I bought her as a project, spent a year getting her seaworthy. Still plenty left to do, but she's a solid, reliable cruiser.
What is expected of the crew
The original intention was to single-hand her, and I have done that. But she can be quite a handful at times, and an extra body or two has proved very useful. No experience necessary, just a willingness to get stuck in.
