Description:
Irving Johnson's ketch Yankee is for sale!

This was the third and last ship named Yankee that Irving and his wife, Exy had.

If you are not familiar with Irving and Exy Johnson - America's most famous sailing couple - here is Irving's Wikipedia page:

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Irving_Johnson

Here is the link to Mystic Seaport's Irving and Electa Johnson Collection which encompasses documents concerning the Yankee;

research.mysticseaport.org/coll/coll240

My plan was to start a charter business (www.aconnecticutyankee.com), with the Yankee, but have found that it was too demanding of time that I need to put into family and work obligations.

The Yankee has had two books, a television show and multiple magazine articles written about her.

Currently out of the water. The aft centerboard trunk needs welding.

Equipment:
Main hook is a 105 pound CQR, lunch hook is a 75 pound CQR. Good sails, beater dink. Radar, all the usual instruments. Diesel heater, refrigerator, freezer, etc. Two heads with showers.
