Lorraine is a Nordic Folkboat built in Denmark in 1959. She was imported for racing in San Francisco Bay then trucked to the Northwest for cruising. I bought Lorraine (named after my mother) in 1979. Since then, Lorraine has taken me and my family to many of the Salish Sea’s most beautiful cruising grounds.
Port Townsend’s finest marine tradespeople are regularly engaged in Lorraine’s maintenance, including occasional retrofits and restoration. Their skill and artistry are evident in every detail from the practical and utilitarian to the shippy and aesthetic. A joy to sail, Lorraine answers her helm in light or heavy wind–a wonderful Salish Sea day sailor and cruiser!
