"CLASSICALLY RIGGED"

TRADITIONAL"

"UNIQUE"

"Interlude", a hermaphrodite steel schooner, can be well described by these few words.

Pleasing to the trained and untrained eye, she was custom built by Island Star Marine in Gulfport, Mississippi in 1985 based on Thomas Colvins Pipistrelle design.

She is a true blue water cruiser and her current owners have enjoyed her sea kindliness and her down island charm for ten years.

For sailors looking to cruise and seek new adventures, "Interlude" is a rare opportunity in today's marketplace.

March 2023 survey available for review on request.

Main, Foresail, Staysail, and Jib were inspected and serviced by Andy Soper, Sailmaker of Kingston Ontario, in December 2016. Work done included some reshaping of the main for better performance, new luff lines in the staysail and jib, and minor repairs as needed. Andy is well-known as an expert on sailmaking for traditional rigs and built some of the sails commissioned for the Master and Commander movie.

Further adjustments to the main were performed in the sail loft at Barefoot Barefoot Yacht Charters in 2022 under the direction of Phil Barnard.

The square sail was purchased second hand in 2016 from another schooner owner. It was originally built using Oceanus sailcloth by Andy Soper, who inspected its condition in 2017 and found no issues.
