Then several owners on the east coast and ending up in Hawaiiin the 1970’s, traveled to Alaska for new masts and worked as a daysail boat in Lahaina till donated to the Northwest Schooner Society about 2002. The hull has been stripped of plywood sheathing and refastened. A new fire suppression system and water tight bulkhead installed and the five legacy sets of wiring have been striped out and replaced. New masts and bowsprit made and finally Her COI was restored 3 years ago. Presently the bulwarks are being gradually replaced.
