Description:
This is the story of why to build a 28-foot schooner, not how to build one. It is the story of why, particularly, to build a wooden sailing vessel that relies on age-old methods and materials, yet also embraces newfangled technologies. But mostly it is the story of the people -- the score of craftsmen and craftswomen, friends, and family -- who give their skill, advice, support, and time to turn Dorothy Elizabeth from an idea into a graceful, seaworthy reality.
