1929 102’ John G. Alden Schooner

_______________________________________________

 

Summerwind is a 102 foot-long schooner built in 1929 as Queen Ti for owner Arthur Crisp.

​

From the white oak log for the keelson to the clear douglas fir for the planking to foundering the fasteners, this was one of Moores Marine's great shining moments.  

​

Just three months after we launched her, Summerwind went on to win at the Newport Bucket.

​

After her win, she was donated to the US Merchant Marine Academy in Kingsport, NY, to be used as a training vessel.
