It came to my attention today that this little schooner is for sale, just north of here in the Puget Sound.
The double ended hull (looks carvel-built to me) is by Arnold Lindstrom of Astoria, Oregon in 1931 for the Bristol Bay (Alaska) salmon fishery and the original owner was the McNeil & Libby Cannery.
It is an open boat as originally built. The schooner rig replaces an original cat rig. Constructed of Port Orford Cedar on White Oak frames, it is a Pacific Northwest classic. The owner claims the sails are serviceable and it's auxiliary power is a Volvo MD-6A 10hp diesel.
(seen here motoring past a ferry in it's slip).
The length on deck is 29 feet and the overall length, with bowsprit, is 34 feet.
Is this a boat for Doryman?! Oh, yes!!

Is this boat still for sale?
Nilpad,
Sorry to say, this one got away. She is a very nice boat, with the same owner for 50 years! Someone (I don't know who) snatched her from my grasp.
