First Post! Just bought a sailboat...


Hi from Rob and Nadine,
This blog is to share pictures and info about our new sailboat, Fishers Hornpipe.  We competed the sale December 3 and are excited to start working on the many projects required to get her seaworthy again.  The Hornpipe is 40' long on deck 55' including the bowsprit and davits.  She was designed by Patrick Cotten and built by boat builder/designer Reuel Parker (http://www.parker-marine.com)


The hull is made of Ferro-cement.  The Decks are marine-grade plywood coated with fiberglass.  The mast is a solid chunk of don douglas fir.  More Pictures to come...
