Hauling the Mary Day

By Doug Mills

Mary Day the first purpose built "windjammer" was hauled out at North End Shipyard for her yearly maintenance and a new coat of paint.  Built in 1962, she may not be the oldest boat in the fleet or the biggest, but, she has created her own history in the hearts of locals and visitors alike.
Mary Day's captains, Barry King and Jennifer Martin are both Coast Guard licensed masters and have extensive sailing and educational backgrounds and experience. Barry has voyaged to Bermuda, the Bahamas, the Caribbean, and along the Canadian Maritimes to Newfoundland.
Captain Barry tells me that they plan their first sailing of this season in three weeks. You could be on board.  Below is treir 2013 sailing schedule.  For more information or to book the vacation of a lifetime visit their website:  http://schoonermaryday.com/
