Becky Thatcher

Yesterday my sailing friend, Terry, and I grabbed an afternoon sail on my Drascombe Scaffie Becky Thatcher. She is a 14' 9" double-ender with a single standing lug sail. The wind in Salt Run (here in St. Augustine) was around 15 out of the west and we had a great time under single-reef. We went on shore at Bird Island and scouted out possible camping spots in view of the Castillo de San Marcos. Becky is a very nimble, easy boat that I have camped in many times. But I really need to sell her... if you or a friend are interested, let me know.
