Over 200 of these simple but fun plywood cat rigged sailboats were built in the 1950’s and 1960’s by Ned McIntosh in Dover NH, and they are still raced today at the Great Bay Yacht Club on Dover Point. This one (#165) was rebuilt by the current owner in 2016-2017 including new deck, carlins, rail, combing, floorboards, rudder, tiller, and rig. It is named Wally J after the original owner.

When I was ten years old I sailed Merry Macs at Camp Chewonki on Westport Island, Maine. I’d sailed on the Maine Coast before so knew about the cold waters. The boy who went with me the first day was from Louisiana. He was pretty cocky about his sailing ability and took the helm when we left the mooring. As soon as we got out where the spray was flying and he was getting splashed by the cold water he started complaining and then crying… sadly. We sailed back to the mooring and I never saw him out on the water again.
