Description

Irondequoit II is a fully renovated 1940 wooden yawl. It's gone through major restorations and replanking between 2000 and 2004. We are preparing for a circumnavigation, or at least a long trip, starting 2015. John Alden designed IRONDEQUOIT II in 1940 and she was built and launched by George Lawley & Son the same year. Irondequoit II has undergone an extensive restoration in Ft Lauderdale, which was completed in 2002. Included in the works is all new mahogany planking below the water, re- fastened with silicone bronze screws, the replacement of the majority of frames, and sistering of all frames below the water. The lower stem has also been replaced. The original deck is Port Orford cedar in good condition, and is covered with a new 3/8″ plywood and epoxy laminate. Irondequoit II is a powerful, easily driven yacht that has proven herself in the Antigua Classic Yacht Regatta. Regates Royales in Cannes, Les Voiles de St Tropez, Vele d’Epoca di Imperia, and Porto Rotondo. She has flush decks forward and a small house aft, with a comfortable cockpit well aft. She is a Bermudan yawl rig with a new 4 ft Oregon pine bowsprit.
