Schooner Jacob Jones and October 2011

So we are trying hard to get JJ to both the Great Chesapeake Schooner Race (to at least CROSS the START line before we withdraw) and to attend the Cambridge Schooner Rendezvous this year.

We need to make this - it'll make the Autumn all that much sweeter. JJ has a new radio, a new GPS, some new chart plotting software and we hope the engine is tiptop shape for her long Excursion to the wild waters of Annapolis and Cambridge. (Oh yeah? she's a little boat after all is said).

Stuffing Box Repair

JJ needs her stuffing box stuffing replaced, she was leaking a bit when the shaft was turning last year. s she is out of the water, this repair will not be a wet as it might be...

Will have to replace that white cord-ish stuff......

JJ's Playground

The Schooner Jacob Jones likes to play around Poole's Island - maybe we'll see you out there some day.

Some Pix of the Boat

Back when JJ was the WeeSail2, her previous owner had some snaps...

Weesail2 on a reach...

And we have a few of her new paint job (2006)....

And one of her mainmast while under sail....

and one of the older ones...
