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:

research.mysticseaport.org/coll/coll240My 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.
