She is 17' long.48''beam, double ended sailboat with a leaded drop keel...There is a 3 stepped mast forward and 1 mast in the stern deck (bowdish style)...There are two sets of oar locks that are fastened with square headed screws which leads us to believe that the boat was built in Canada...The decking looks to be mahogany strips much like the early disappearing propeller boats or as they are better known as dispro's/I understand that Peterborough also used this style of decking as well as other boat builders of this area...The hull looks to be cedar with a oak coaming and possibly a fir floor...
The rudder is set-up with a line that runs along the deck which allows for steerage from any position in the boat...
The hardware is all brass and looks to be correct....We have not found any makers tags or builders marking..any help in determining the age or maker would help us greatly in the restoration process...
