She is a factory-built yawl with interior work and exterior trim customized by Palmer Johnson in the '60s and '70s. In the early nineties she went to Hinckley and was rebuilt/restored. The deck was taken off, recored, re-glassed and repainted. All wood trim was replaced. A new main mast, rigging and sails were also added. I have since repowered and rewired. <BR>She sails like a dream and turns heads wherever she goes. Truly one of the most beautiful boats out there!Tue, 27 Sep 2005 20:25:26 GMTAtmoreM
