      An incredibly beautiful boat. I too pray that she finds someone to love her.

        From the add:

        "The boat was originally built in 1929 and was completely rebuild and lengthened to 39ft in 1949. ... Construction is white pine over oak, with a birch keel."

        Gentlemen, please tell me what's the forum wisdom on birch keels? Even if it's there only since 1949 that's still 73 years.

          These are beautiful, fast and seaworthy boats, but they are not the best built vessels, in general, that I've seen.

            a board member of this organization has reached out to me, suggesting that donations made to them specifically directed towards airlie's restoration would help them to get involved in her rescue

            Our society has a vision to identify, rebuild, and sail all unwanted Nova Scotia schooners in an effort to retain an important part of our heritage. Please help!

                I think it should be noted that this isn't based on studying Arlie, but a general comment - right Bruce?

                  former forum member mmd has been in touch with me to let me know that "Airlie has a new owner who intends to restore her."

                  no other details forthcoming at the moment

                    I think it would be fair to state that Nova Scotia was a hard scrabble economy back then, but people still needed tools-some of which were boats.
                    Having worked in Norway and learned the ancient(Viking) method of boatbuilding, the ordinary (peasant) folk still needed boats for fishing, transport, etc. They adapted the gloriously beautiful methods and materials of the Viking age-vessels that were built by the very wealthy and connected people- to their ongoing needs. This meant that more Furu(Pine) and Gran (Spruce) were used in the areas where they were plentiful, as were Birch and other so called trash woods. In the case of Norway, these trees were slow growing and could yield nice strong wood.
                    The boats were built for their budget and needs, not glossy magazines and historians. And it was these folk who insured the old techniques were continued, and we have some of these craft alive to this day.
                    I love grand yachts built with very high specifications and materials, and craftsmen...and owners with open checkbooks for maintenance. But some boats are built as tools, like a hay wagon, or a pitchfork, or an oil lamp.

                        Great news. I found a few pics from when Jamie trucked her to Maine for launching after the work he had done in Nova Scotia.

                            There are two kinds of boaters: those who have run aground, and those who lie about it.
