Hull is fiberglass over oldgrowth Doug Fir (totally sealed, no water intrusion) over steam bent oak ribs. ---See owner notes regarding the vessel --- "The rigging is made of natural fiber manila rope its eight years old and has broken down in the elements... it needs replacing, preferably upgraded to nylon. (Natural is just more authentic). Block and tackle is handmade of bronze shivs and locust wood... a few are Doug fir. Hand shaped mast and hardware... Custom bullworks and bowsprit.. needs oil and paint for cabins and deck.. (Im trying to get down there next week to clean her up a bit). The engine is a rebuild from the local Boatyard. We put it in about 4 years ago, had it running for a bit then she cut out and haven't had the motivation to have her looked at by a pro mechanic yet... we had a small engine fire a few years back due to an oil line resting on the exhaust. The hull was not harmed but engine froze. That's why we replaced it with the rebuild. We also completey replaced the wiring and fuel lines cables etc. I'm in love with the ship, but due to my other projects, I just don't have the time or motivation to put more money into her... I have completely rebuilt her (other than the hull which is fairly sound, there is one reinforced patch where the strut is tied into the ship). The hull is old growth Doug Fir I believe with steam bent oak ribs and sealed over with fiberglass. She is super watertight other than the normal slow accumulation from the prop. She was last hauled out about five years ago so she will need a good bottom cleaning. All through hull valves and fittings were replaced at this time as well as shaft replaced. And bottom painted. The brier island was built over a ten year period by local Los Osos shipwright Bob White and finished in 76. I believe she sailed to Hawaii and around the channel islands etc. She glides on the water and sails like a dream. From what I've been told she is the closest replica to Joshua Sloccum's Spray which sailed single handedly around the world. The first single handed circumnavigation. As an expert Captain and shipwright, this was the perfect all-around vessel. And the junk his preferred rig of choice." We are looking for people all over the country who share our love for boats.
