This sailing skiff was donated to the Boatshop in 2023, and museum volunteers lovingly restored the mahogany plywood and oak framing. The hull was painted Alerion green with a grey bottom. How gorgeous! A Sprit rig, this beautiful boat is ready to sail into the sunset. Two oars are included.
Length overall: 10' • Beam: 46.5'' • Weight: 150 lbs
All proceeds from this sweepstakes support the museum's Discovery Boatbuilding program, a hands-on, comprehensive wooden boatbuilding and woodworking program for local students. Be sure to stop by the Boatshop to see students building this year's fleet!
At Maine Maritime Museum, we connect people to the past, present, and future of Maine’s waterways and their global reach. In addition to our rotating and immersive exhibits, guided tours, extensive watercraft collection, and kids playship, our museum is located on the grounds of a former shipyard, where the largest wooden schooner in the world was launched in 1909. How big was it? Come stand next to an evocation of the Wyoming, which is also the largest outdoor sculpture in New England! There is so much to see at the museum, admission is valid for two days - and children under 18 receive free admission, making this a perfect destination for the whole family.
