| Chantey was built by Nevins
in 1929 and is now 75 years old! She seems to have her original planking,
frames, and timbers. Who would have imagined a wooden boat would
last so long!
In 1935 Rhodes re-desiged the rig, shortened the boom, added jumpers and a permanent backstay, and discarded the running backstays. With her centerboard and club jib, she is perfect for single-handed short-tacking in and out of gunkholes, creeks, etc. She has two berths and very comfortable sitting headroom for over-nighting. She sailed on Lake Memphremagog (linking Vermont to Quebec) during the 1980s and now graces the upper Chesapeake Bay, near Baltimore. Owner: hjohnson"at"edgehillent.com |
