Dirigo II is in excellent condition, and is currently happily
sailing in sunny Mexico.
The owner/captain recently turned 70 and is ready to drop anchor! In
an effort to encourage this transition to a new phase of life, he has
decided to drop the listing price by $100,000, giving a special
someone the unique opportunity to take ownership of this beautifully
restored and expertly maintained piece of maritime history. Set sail
on your own dreams aboard the schooner Dirigo II! Please
inquire to learn more about this amazing ship today.
This handsome and proven gaff-rigged topsail schooner was designed by
John Alden and built in 1939 at the Goudy and Stevens Boatyard in East
Boothbay, Maine. Dirigo II was specifically designed for
circumnavigation and to be capable sailing in “any ocean, any
weather”. Throughout her life, she has participated in many sailing
adventures, races and pleasure cruises around the world, including 2
global circumnavigations. The boat is featured in a novel, “Count
the Cats in Zanzibar” by Captain Jim Crawford. Dirigo II has
recently undergone a complete restoration and is operated with loving
care by her owner. The boat is for charter in the San Juan Islands and
throughout the Salish Sea.
Besides Captain and crew quarters, the boat has two private
staterooms with “over and under” berths and two Pullman berths in the
main salon. With her full galley, hot water shower, spacious cockpit,
wide decks with high bulwarks, shes elegant, traditional, comfortable,
and sea worthy .
“A stable ship, sea-kindly, fast and a joy to be aboard.”
