Here we see the schonner "Lester" preparing for sail She is an Atlantic Challenge open schooner that was a gift from Atlantic Challenge USA. The type of schooner is a "Cowhorn". It is a replica of a workboat common in Maine during the early 1800's. A very pretty craft of wide beam and great load carrying capacity, and not bad performance under sail as well. Photo taken from the tops of the schooner "Bee" by Harry Foster. |
