Marianita was built in in her owner/captain’s two-car garage/boatshop on Bainbridge Island over the course of about 3 years. As much of the work as possible was done “in-house” from casting custom bronze hardware to the 400 pound lead keel to sewing the sails from a kit. When not at the Festival she can be found sailing around Elliot Bay from her home port in Eagle Harbor on Bainbridge.
