Looking for any previous owner's of Lady Elizabeth. We have found a couple, but are looking to complete the history on this rare and special vessel. And if you are interested...she is for sale.

Wow!What a boat.I'd love to see more photos.It was interesting to hear that port-orford cedar is teredo resistant beacause the worms love "Alaskan"yellow cedar.'Lady Elisabeth' would be a terrific cruising boat but her location and my financial,family priorities force me to decline.

Wow!
Wish I could help but, I am already involved with the restoration of four worthy wooden boats. This really hurts because Lyle Hess was a friend for some thirty years. I also helped the Pardys build both of their boats.

The International Yacht Restoration School, IYRS, comes to mind. I found and arranged the donation of the Lawley yawl "Seminole" for them. "Seminole" is now fully restored. The Wooden Boat Foundation in Port Townsend is another source of assitance.
Best of luck,
Jay Greer
