While John and Skip continue to put Jade together, she’s in excellent company.  Across the dock sits the three masted schooner Atlantic a replica of the William Gardner design with the same name.  The original schooner won the Kaiser’s Cup in 1905 crossing the Atlantic in 12 days.

Well, she appears to float, that’s a good start.   Also note addition of a mast.

Test Sail in November at Northstar, RI. It was chilly out there, but lots of fun. With Craig’s assistance I got the speed record of 9.3 kts – although I’m pretty sure he rigged it.
