DESCRIPTION

Imagine a custom-built, 40-foot stay sail schooner, pulling her design from Herreshoff and other classic vessels of her era, a true labor of love crafted over 25 years by an engineer whose passion for sailing and design culminated in this lifelong masterpiece. Patient Lady is a stunning vessel, constructed from strip plank Spanish cedar, that embodies both aesthetic beauty and exceptional performance.

Every curve and line of the schooner reflects meticulous attention to detail. The smooth finish of 2 layers Vectra cloth wrapped cedar not only enhances its visual appeal but also ensures durability against the elements. The wood’s natural resistance to rot and decay makes it an ideal choice for a seaworthy vessel, while its rich, warm tones create an inviting atmosphere on board.

The structural integrity of this schooner is unparalleled. The builder applied advanced techniques and his vast knowledge to create a boat that is as resilient as it is beautiful. Reinforced joints and a carefully designed hull allow for stability and safety, ensuring that this vessel can handle a variety of sailing conditions with grace and confidence.

Equipped with state-of-the-art sailing technology and innovative features, this schooner offers a blend of traditional craftsmanship and modern convenience. The spacious deck invites leisurely days at sea, while the thoughtfully designed old growth Teak interior provides comfort for long voyages. 

Owning this sailing marvel is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, a chance to possess not just a boat, but a piece of art forged through decades of dedication and skill. Whether navigating tranquil waters or embarking on adventurous voyages, this schooner promises to deliver unforgettable experiences and a connection to the timeless tradition of sailing.

The construction of the Patient Lady was an endeavor that spanned decades, marked by countless hours of labor and unwavering determination. The engineer, driven by his lifelong dream, meticulously documented each phase of the build, from the initial design sketches to the final touches. Every detail was considered, from the spacious deck that invites relaxation to the intricately designed interior that offers comfort and style. The vessel is equipped with state-of-the-art navigation systems, yet it retains a classic charm that pays homage to the maritime traditions of the past.

The culmination of this 25-year dream transformed from a collection of raw materials into a breathtaking work of art. The ship's name itself, Patient Lady, reflects the ethos of the project—patience in the pursuit of excellence and beauty. The engineer faced numerous challenges along the way, from sourcing the finest materials to mastering the intricate techniques required for such a grand undertaking. Yet, each obstacle was met with determination and an unwavering belief in the vision he held for his ship's journey is a vessel that not only embodies the spirit of adventure but also serves as a sanctuary for those who step aboard. The Patient Lady is more than just a schooner; it represents the dreams, aspirations, and relentless pursuit of excellence that define its creator. With sails unfurled and the wind at her back, the Patient Lady is poised to traverse the open waters, carrying with her the legacy of her builder—a legacy defined by passion, perseverance, and an unyielding love for the sea and all that she offers
