Sam designed and built Red Schooner in 1981. Cooper Devlin, Sam’s oldest, found Red Schooner for sale on Craigslist several years ago. He told Lee, Sam’s office person, about it. A labor of love restoration took place over a few years. Since completing the restoration Lee has spent most Sunday’s aboard either having a cup of tea and admiring his boat or going out for a sail.

New sails happened a couple of years back with Sam’s design help and Lee made the foresail self-tending like the jib and main. What’s unique in the 21 foot 11 inch boat (26 feet with bowsprit and rudder) is 2 steering stations – a comfortable interior helm with wheel steering and tiller steering for the cockpit. The interior seats 4 and comfortably sleeps one tall person forward and one shorter person can sleep side to side with a filler piece that joins the port and starboard seats together. The interior has a Porta Potti (never used) forward, a beautiful tiled painting of a clipper ship under full sail, a Fatsco cast iron stove, 2 kerosene lanterns, and a very comfortable captain’s seat in the pilothouse. There is a GPS visible from the cockpit as well as the interior helm. And a depth sounder and compass. The yellow dinghy is easily towed behind, and there’s a small inflatable behind the Captain’s seat for emergencies.

The cockpit is self-bailing and the fuel for the 6HPTohatsu extra long shaft 4 stroke outboard is in a well is under the aft hatch. Each sail needs only one handling line making single-handed sailing easy. There’s a Danforth anchor mounted on the bowsprit for quick dispatch.  Price reduction: was  $ 23,888   now  $14,999 (includes dinghy).  

Length 21’11”  Beam 7’6″  Draft 3’1″     Power: 6HP Tohatsu 4 stroke    Sail area: 245 sq. ft. Ballast: 950 lbs.   Call Lee at 360 866-0164 or email:  lee@devlinboat.com

• The Yamaha outboard has been replaced recently (Spring 2022) with a much newer Tohatsu 6HP Prosail with an extra long shaft.
