The vessel was designed and constructed by Tricia/Newick. She was completed in 1979. The vessel was purchased by Jones from Saga Sails St Croix and was stripped and rebuilt and recommissioned after a complete rebuild and given the present Hull Identification Number.

The vessel was purchased by the present owner, the vessel was once again stripped, and every conceivable part has been refabricated or replaced. The vessel was stripped to the framework and laminated with new ½” marine ply the frames were then removed in sections and replaced with new Douglas Fir framework. Once the underlying construction was completed the vessel was fully covered using Bi, Tri axial FRP cloth, and epoxy resin. The completed vessel was then coated with Awlgrip Primer and then the top was coated with Awlgrip bright white the decks and tops of the pontoons, and the tops of the spars were coated with Awlgrip Grip Tech non-skid finish in a very light beige color, providing a very aggressive non-skid finish that can be walked on with bare feet.

The 2002 swivel mast is the only part of the vessel remaining from the 2002 refit. The mast was completely refurbished during this refit and all rigging both standing and running was replaced. The extruded aluminum mast and boom were then finished with a high gloss black finish.

The sails are also brand new and consist of a fully battened main sail and side jib. The wetted surface areas were treated with Tuff Stuff barrier coating, Primer, and Industrial Sea guard antifouling coating (three coats of each).
