Amazing 40' custom ketch available. Original owner Adolf Eggi was a Swiss engineer who worked at Ford Motor Company with Lee Iacocca to develop the first Ford Mustang. An avid sailor, Mr. Eggi served as Commodore of the Ford Yacht Club and raced on weekends. Upon retirement he moved to Oxford Md and oversaw the design and construction of his dream sailboat at the then Wiley Shipyard.
Cold-molded using strip planked cedar with spruce spars, she is fast and powerful. Mr. Eggi is said to have single handed her on the Chesapeake during hurricane David.

Built for a couple and occasional overnight guests, LaMouette is truly a work of art. Her self tending rig enables you to tack with one hand without losing your place in your book. She has a comfortable cushioned cockpit, and the unique horizontal wheel allows you to steer from anywhere in the cockpit and then converts to a table for dining or enjoying a glass of wine while watching the sunset. The entire cockpit has built-in handholds and the seats are long enough to sleep under the stars. There is also a cushioned helmsman seat, full awning, dodger, locking wheel and lighted compass.
