We're now completing a year-long boat restoration seven years late :) The web photos don't do the different boats justice, I know, but for a true boat lover it doesn't take any imagination to fill in the rest of their beauty...
With the help of the John Gardner School of Boatbuilding in Annapolis, we found a classic S&S sailing yawl named Chance. She's the sister ship of the famous Loki skippered by Gifford Pinchot, and both boats won their modest share of big races.
Built by Albert Lemos and his Portuguese immigrant community in Riverside
R.I., 1948.
LOA 39'4", Beam 9'+, Draft 5'6", displacing about 12k#.
This is the third wooden boat rebuild I've participated in. She is in beautiful shape, floating now and almost ready for open water. If you have any non-profit project dreams for her, give us a call. We'd love to hear from you!
