The Mermaid is a 23 ft fractional sloop designed in the late 1940’s by Farnham Butler/Theodore Earl as a class racing boat for the waters off Mt. Desert Island in Maine. Fast and very maneuverable with a big open cockpit. She is undergoing a full rebuild/restoration, the lead keel and some hardware will be retained while all other parts will be built new.

Cedar planking over white oak backbone.
