My, my that's a long mast. Gonna take some varnish.

Cutest twins ever in their Schooner Olad gear! Thanks for sharing Gabrielle Gray!

Before it started SNOWING this afternoon. Looking forward to moving into the building soon. Lots of work still to do.

Every good thing must come to an end, and our last days of the 2017 sailing season were some of the sweetest. We would like to thank you all for helping make it a truly wonderful season of sailing in Camden, Maine! We couldn't have done it without our local community's support or the great people that sail with us year after year. Thank you! We are now working in the boatyard, winterizing engines, scuffing varnish, and pulling masts. A lot of work goes into both boats in the fall so that we are well ahead of the game come spring. Varnishing will come soon enough. Now is also the season to start thinking about holiday giving and exchanging of gifts. We have recently updated our online gift shop, located at www.maineschooners.com, to include some new apparel, Christmas ornaments, and Gambel & Hunter sail maker bags. Gambel & Hunter make our sails right here in Camden, and we are excited to be able to sell this great, durable canvas bag. In addition to clothing and merchandise, we also sell our sailing gift certificates. Sailing gift certificates for both the Schooner Olad & Cutter Owl make the perfect gift for a sailing enthusiast! They never expire, and are good for a 2 hour sail and can be purchased on our website. Gift certificates are also available for special sails such as lobster bakes and all day racing trips. Please call 207-236-2323 to inquire. We hope that everyone enjoys their fall, as you gear up for the holiday festivities. We will be in the boatyard putting the boats to bed after another wonderful season on Penobscot Bay. Cheers!

Today's projects included scuffing. No, this is not our Halloween costume. Just another day of putting the boats away.
