The 20' Noman's Land boat, ORCA, was built by Delano in Fairhaven, Massachusetts, 1882.  ORCA is a batten-seam boat that was never used at Noman's Land, rather spending her working life around Gay Head on Martha's Vineyard. She had an engine and cat rig when Bob Baker got her in the 1950s. He rebuilt ORCA and rerigged her.  After com­ing to the Museum, ORCA was sailed in the summer until the need for major work caused her retirement ashore.  Her rig is modest, with only about 120 square feet of sail. Since fishing on a rough November day, with a full north­wester punching in, is probably not how you would use this boat today, you might consider adding a rig with a bit more sail area.  From 87 Boat Designs by Ben Fuller.  Plans drawn by Bob Baker in 1953.
