SAILING

APPLEDORE CRUISES presents:
Schooner EASTWIND
a 65-foot Windjammer

Herb and Doris Smith are back with their newest traditional wooden schooner, Eastwind. This 65-foot windjammer was built by the Smiths on their farm in central Maine and is a sister-ship of Appledore III, which the family also built and sailed around the world via the Straits of Magellan and Cape of Good Hope on their second world voyage. In 2000, the Smiths returned on Eastwind from a six month voyage to the Caribbean and South America.
