Harvy Gammage 65' schooner "KELPIE" 1928 So. Bristol, Maine
Above is my dad's schooner which we kept in the family for thirty years and moored in Newport Beach. Below is the 55' schooner "Samarang" that I raced and cruised for twenty years in So. Calif waters with my two boys, Josh and Tyler. Center is Viking #9 of eighteen that were built by my close friend and and master shipwright, Don Pedersen. Far right is the 82' Alden schooner "Serena" which I was lucky enough to make two Trans-Pac races on board and was introduced to the thrills and sometimes insanity of ocean racing.
NOW TILL DECEMBER 1, 2019 WE ARE DISCOUNTING "HIGH TECH" (ERNIE CALLS THEM PLASTIC SAILS) SAILS 40%, Many are like new and in excellent condition, MYLAR-KEVLAR-CARBON FIBER-ETC. BY-NORTH-QUANTUM-DOYLE-HOOD-ETC. When you take 40% off our already modest prices, yer gonna have trouble sleeping at night !!! This offer good till DECEMBER 1, 2019 Also, we still have too many spinnakers! From now until DECEMBER 1, 2019 you can take an additional 40% off all our symmetrical spinnakers. Many are near new and are in excellent condition. Times change, "assyos" are the rage! I carried a 2.2 oz symmetrical (both luffs the same) with a pole on a circumnavigation. It worked great! If you want to be watching the luff of a chute 24/7, check out our "assyos". P.S. Radial head chutes are an easy re-cut for a sailmaker and come out looking pretty good. Tri-radials can be re-cut to "assyos" but it's expensive and if multi-colored can look a bit weird. Stick with a one color tri-radial if you're gonna re-cut to an "assyo."
