These handsome and sweet-sailing boats deserve to be better known. The club produces polyester hulls, fittings, instructions adequate for the more advanced builder, and keels. The upper photo shows how Mark Steele rigged one as a ketch; there are many schooner possibilities. I brought a hull home and intend to use it as my "windling" boat, probably with a gaff rig.

If you do contact Peter, remember that this is a club enterprise and postage costs can add up, so be a sport and toss in a dollar or two to cover the stamps to write you back.
