The boat is a 1926 historic yacht 44' long gaff rigged sloop, the largest surviving of any of the cat boats (not catamaran) built so she is roomy & stable. If you have a need for speed this is not your gig. If you like beautifully restored mahogany & polished bronze you are going to love this opportunity to sail the Miles river off the Chesapeake Bay. Pay is competitive.
