Vital Statistics
LOA 23’ 6”
LWL 18’ 5”
Beam 7’ 5”

Displacement 2.5 Tons
Working Sail Area 275 Sq Feet

Shemara is old but has good bones. Most of the work is in replacing corroded bits and pieces and prettying her up a little at a time. This blog might be of interest or it may not, mostly it is a record of work done and trips. It will be picture –heavy.
