Description
A Maine sailing legend, the Schooner MARY DAY, a two-masted gaff topsail schooner, was built in 1962 by the famous Harvey Gamage Shipyard in South Bristol, Maine USA. She was designed by Havilah Hawkins specifically as a coastal schooner. The first schooner built for the windjammer passenger trade she has been operating on the coast of Maine annually under USCG Subchapter T regulations since her christening. Her current owners have fastidiously cared for every aspect of her maintenance with frequent upgrades and renewals to allow for modern conveniences that accentuate her traditional pedigree including an extensive rebuild in 2000. MARY DAY is highly regarded by marine professionals and sailors alike. A frequent top finisher during the annual Great Schooner Race, her swift hull form allows her to easily reach speeds over 10 knots. Boasting 9’ of headroom, windows, and skylights in her passenger accommodations, MARY DAY also features large, uncluttered spaces above decks. MARY DAY's distinguished presence along the Maine coast has been featured in movies, documentaries, television, books, and magazine articles. This is a rare opportunity to own an iconic piece of maritime history.
HULL AND DECK
Schooner MARY DAY Carvel is a carvel planked coasting schooner w/centerboard, raked transom, clipper bow and keel hung rudder. She has exterior iron ballast and interior lead ballast.The Oak planking is fastened to double sawn ±6”x 9” oak frames w/galvanized spikes. The frames are set ±16” on center with oak structural assembly.
Her deck has ±2”x 3” cedar with plywood overlay finished with glued and caulked pine over oak deck beams and carlins.
The deckhouses are plywood with fiberglass tops and wood with fiberglass sides.
Her bulkheads are V-matched pine with natural opening skylights, hatches and companionways.
This vessel was designed without ceiling planking. (the absence of ceiling planking helps provide good ventilation throughout the vessel to help deter wood decay).
Accessibility of the wood framing and hull structure is greatly increased due to no ceiling being installed which also allows for air flow to enhance longevity.
