Prospect Marsh Pinky #12

The original of this full-keel Penobscot Bay fishing schooner was found on Prospect Marsh in Maine by Chapelle, who measured her and later showed the lines to Bob Baker. Based on his research, Bob completed the plans. In 1984, the boat was built by the Rockport Apprentice Shop (RAS), Rockport, Maine. She was named PERSEVERENCE, and featured at the 1984 WoodenBoat Show in Newport, Rhode Island. This classic small Pinky schooner, a comfortable cruising boat for four adults, is featured on the Wooden Boat Show poster, "The Celebration of Wooden Boat Building."

"She is a joy to handle. She has the feel of a little ship. She lays down slowly and not very far and slides for her destination, She is so extraordinarily graceful. She feels so reassuring, so competent, so wonderfully sure of herself."
