32' Chapelle Quoddy Pilot Ketch (1973) - INTEGRITY

The Quoddy Pilot is an excellent sailing “character boat.” The original design incorporates all of the principal features which are so essential for modern cruising. She is fast, simply rigged and easy to handle with a very simple sail plan. She has a huge cabin for her size and oversize cockpit, as well as, being fine looking. With a ballast-to-boat weight ratio of greater than 50/50, she is remarkably stiff and will stay on her feet easily in a brisk wind, rarely requiring reefing and then only in exceptionally squally and extended bad weather. She is very seaworthy. There is plenty of room, both internally and externally, to move around without crowding. Her 9′ cockpit length offers the afternoon or day sailor about all the space needed for a big family or plenty of friends where most of the time is spent sailing. INTEGRITY was originally built as a sloop but was recently converted to a ketch to make her more manageable for her captain who is now 35 years older.
