In a day of flat-sheered, uninteresting sloops, there seems to be a rapidly increasing trend toward small cruising boats with some character. The schooner presented here should catch the fancy of a boy of any age who has a drop of adventure in his blood. Think how she will look anchored off some remote dune or tidal creek with the setting sun picking out the rake of the spars and the lazy drift of smoke from the galley stack. With her black topsides, white wale strake, white trunk, varnished weatherboards, and tanned sails, she will be every inch a little ship and will catch the eye in any company. The first of this model was built by a boy just finishing high school. The photos show her upon completion, the owner having done all of the work by himself in about one year’s spare time. She has sailed and cruised many thousands of miles and has given her owner an endless amount of pleasure. The type is about the simplest sort of boat to build and, with proper handling, can do any sort of sheltered-water cruising.
