Ann Davison, sailed Felicity Ann across the Atlantic Ocean in 1953 to become the 1st woman to sail the Atlantic alone.
Rashki:
Apparently the decay began long ago…Unfortunately, now the entire keel must be replaced…big job…..big $$.
Rashki:
At some time, she was fiberglassed below the waterline. That aggravated the problem which led to the rotting wood in the keel. Well, beginning today, the fiberglass is coming off to reveal the original woodwork. We won’t put any fiberglass back.
Rashki:
The Rot is the bad news…the good news is that Haines has facilities and Shipwrights experienced in building wooden sailboats. They are combining their efforts to make Felicity Ann well again.
