This 65-foot steel-hulled schooner was built in 1992 and has operated in freshwater throughout its life. The gaff-rigged design is powered by a Ford Lehman 90-horsepower diesel auxiliary engine, with approximately 500 hours logged since the engine was rebuilt. The yacht cruises at 8 knots and reaches a maximum speed of 10 knots.
A comprehensive refit was completed in 2019, including updated standing rigging, a rebuilt electric windlass, and a new 3000-watt inverter. Navigation equipment consists of a Garmin radar and GPS system with AIS, backed by an EPIRB for safety. A 50-person liferaft is aboard. The 14-foot beam supports the traditional schooner layout suited to family cruising and extended voyaging.
The yacht saw limited use following the 2019 refit, with one active season of operation since that work was completed. It represents the Appledore lineage of steel-hulled vessels, a line known for sturdy construction and seaworthiness in northern waters.
