Lucia was built over many years by a craftsman on Fox Island. We found her 10 years a ago at this Wooden Boat festival. We realized that this was a very special boat. Our education about Gaff rigs, center boards and small boat sailing began. Because she is so easy to load and trailer, we have gone up to BC several times. The Penders and Lady Smith. In the Gulf Islands, was the first time we had ever been on a tack that was over 45 minutes. We had a down-wind sail that felt almost like we were not moving because the hull moved effortlessly through the water. The crew is not on top of each other when sailing with the 6′ beam, four adults do really well in the cockpit.
