Rather than tell a great story twice. Take the time to see how this boat came to be theirs. The baby blue hull after a lot of work is perfect factory gelcoat. They got SJB in April of 2005 and have quickly and steadily improved upon her. Beautiful job on the galley. Not visible is the flexible 26 gallon water tank under the V-berth. Also added is a complete electrical system with wood surrounds to accent the panel.
Brooke and John also sail a 1966 Herreshoff 28 Ketch that's used for blue water work while the M-17 is used for trailer sailing fun to Northern California and Lake Tahoe and the warmer waters of San Diego's Mission Bay.
