Overview
About this vessel
A classic-looking, stoutly built cruising ketch, lovingly handcrafted over many years by Rick Haslet, an experienced boatbuilder who trained under multihull legend Dick Newick. Haslet drew the lines in the Alden tradition and asked Nat Benjamin to draw the hull sections.
Strip-planked in western red cedar, laid up in epoxy and fibreglass, and fastened with bronze ring nails, Destiny was launched at Martha's Vineyard Shipyard in front of hundreds of islanders, to bagpipes and cannon fire.
Built with circumnavigation in mind, yet a joy as a daysailer, she is easily handled by a crew of two, even offshore. She has since covered thousands of miles of coastal, offshore and island cruising.
Berthed at Marsden Cove Marina, E03.
