22′ Devlin Pilothouse Schooner (1981) - RED SCHOONER

Owner’s Description
Red Schooner is a 1981 Sam Devlin designed and built 22 foot on deck and 26 feet overall pilothouse schooner. When I found her for sale online a decade ago I did a restoration. I now spend most Sunday’s aboard either having a cup of tea and relaxing on the water or I go out for a sail or for motoring on no wind days.

I spent many hours on restoration and sailing her around Puget Sound. Recently I replaced her Yamaha 6HP outboard with a 2014 Tohatsu 6HP Sail Pro extra long shaft 4 stroke (See new photos).

The last 25 years I’ve spent immersed in the world of Devlin Boats. First as a boat builder and now as office manager. I became acquainted with Sam’s designs when I ordered plans to build the 15 foot Egret design.

Then my wife said you love the boats so much you should work there!

I built the Egret in the lean-to next to Sam’s shop to help me understand stitch and glue boat building when I got hired to work there.Now I wanted something larger to protect me from Northwest rain.

Red Schooner was ideal. Restoration was fun. All three sails are self-tending so I can single hand. There are two steering locations: the cockpit tiller for nice weather days and the pilothouse wheel steering for heavy rain or snow days. The cockpit is self-bailing and the 6HP outboard pushes her along at hull speed. I enjoy all the interior woodwork and pot bellied little stove and the beautiful painting on tiles of a square rigger under full sail that’s behind the stove. A perfect Northwest Boat.

Home-port is now Olympia, Washington.

  What a great little boat. And she seems to be making good progress just under outboard engine. My boat also has outboard auxiliary, but I rarely open her up because I can’t stand the noise! When electric outboards come of age … (ie I don’t have to cover the boat in solar panels and load her down with batteries!)

  What a gem! You’ve done a beautiful job with her. Similar interior aesthetic to Tally Ho! my Cape George Cutter 31’ (also listed in the boat show). You clearly have good taste!
  
  Hope to see you out on the Salish Sea sometime!
