Since 1978 I have been fortunate to sail wooden boats. In 2006 I set out to find a Drascombe Longboat Cruiser for single-handed expedition sailing. This is the continuing story of how it came to be, our adventures, notes on the maritime world and other things I don't want to forget...

Penoscot 14 times 3


I failed to mention the final manifestation of a Penobscot 14 that came through our shop in Florida a couple of years ago. The hull had been made in Miami, purchased and moved to St. Augustine where I cleaned up epoxy and added seats, rails and centerboard trunk, etc., and resold to a fellow named Doug from Gainesville who finished her out. She was launched and continues to sail in Florida turning up on the Gulf from time to time. A belated Fine Job Doug.
