Voyager in happier times
Restored by John Kippin, circa 1970
Voyager as we first saw her in March of 2017
Rough
Very rough
Many planks pulling away from their frames and butt blocks
A great deal of work to do, even to move her
Voyager uncovered
Looking a little more hopefull
Cradle assembled
Looking much happier on the trailer!
Ready to roll!
Heading to the Maine Turnpike at a maximum forty five miles per hour. A very long trip.
Unloading in Hartland
Ready for the next restoration
Voyager
Voyager is a friendship Sloop, built in 1906 by Charles Morse in Friendship Maine as a fishing boat. Converted to a yacht, she was bought by Bernard MacKenzie in 1951 and became sail number 1 when MacKenzie founded the friendship Sloop Society in 1961
