"SEAYEW" ALL SPIFFED UP AND READY TO SAIL.

Some added information on this lovely boat.....
It was a Dutch-born fellow who worked on it for seven years. The vessel, a Herreshoff 23, is made of strip-planked western
red cedar over a backbone of yellow cedar and is sloop rigged. Its deck-stepped wooden mast sits in a tabernacle for ease of
rigging powered by a sturdy auxiliary diesel. The interior is finished in traditional mixtures of contrasting woods, brass and
bronze.
And she is said to possess yare.

That is a spectacular boat! We used to have a wooden boat. I know how much work goes into it.
