Lazy
Jack was built in 1947 by builder and designer Fred Whittier
in the shipyard of Whittier and Lowe in Ipswich Massachusetts.
Her lines are taken from the traditions of the Fredonia
fishing schooners of the 1800s.
Lazy
Jack is a topsail schooner and when fully rigged can carry
up to eight sails. A renowned charter boat in the 1950s,
Lazy Jack sailed for 20 years from Ipswich Massachusetts
to Man O'War Cay to Cuba. She carried various cargo for
her master, which included passengers, arms, rum and cigars.
In
October 2006, Lazy Jack began a phased restoration that
will insure that this historic windjammer will be sailing
strong and powerfully into the future. Although Captain
Joe's vision for the Lazy Jack exceeds the time of his expected
ownership, he is committed to passing forward this great
schooner to her next master in a condition ready to meet
the challenges of the next 60 years.
