Mind here that goes for anyone with knowledge of sites where building these boats is done.

Issue 63 has an article about the "Janet May". She was sailed out of Bar Harbor, ME. by Steve Pagels for a number of years doing day sail charters. No engine for the first 2 or 3 years. Great fun sailing through the moorings and on and off the dock with a 65'schooner with 20' of head gear. Phil Shelton, the builder is currently sailing around the world in a Buehler based cutter and is presently in OZ. www.worldvoyagers.com (http://www.worldvoyagers.com)
I'll have to re-read the article when I get home.I'll try to fill in the blanks for any questions that are not covered by the article.Phil used to give a slide presentation about the building that was fantastic.

Right now, she's out of the water in Norwalk, CT having some planks replaced and others refastened.

She's still pretty new, Lisa. What happened to the planks, do you know? Were they damaged, or has hackmatack not proven as suitable as Shelton hoped?

So how many "flagships" has Schooner, Inc. had now? Every time I hear of them, it seems they just got a new boat! Back when I worked for 'em, all they had was a "replica", Chesapeake "Bugeye", J.N.CARTER. It's only claim to fame was having capsized in Baltimore's Inner Harbor her first season with her original owner...

Beautiful photo coverage. She's lovely, I would dearly love to sail on her. Unfortunately being in Oregon doesn't help. Guess I'll just have to settle for the Zodiac up in WA.

I don't know what happened to the planks. If it ever stops raining, I'll go over to the yard and ask. I'll take a printout of the article with me in case they haven't seen it.

The rain let up around here this morning so I headed over to the yard to see what was up with the planking of the "S/V Quinnipiak". As luck would have it, the Captain was there working with the crew and told me what had happened to her. According to him, she had a leaky deck that went undetected/unsealed for some time. This allowed water to collect in the bilge under the concrete blocks they use as ballast, and it rotted the planking and some frames as well. The planking is moving along at a good pace now, and they hope to have her back in the water this weekend. This is prime school field trip season here, and they have got to be losing a lot of money every day that she's sitting in that yard.
