Damn good boats these Tancook Whalers! We live on our Tancook every summer from May-September. TOWNY has no engine, no batteries, no systems, save a few solar lights, an Origo alcohol stove and one of those solar showers to keep us vaguely presentable. Off the mooring she handles smoothly with a well-balanced helm and jib-backing lines to help push her long, full keel through single-handed tacks. We like her a lot, and even the dog abides.

Great boat! We spend time on the Cape every summer (or did until Covid), my mother-in-law had a house in Borne which has now come down to us. Friend sold his Cal 28, so I suppose when we ultimately retire to the Cape, I’ll have to search out my own good old boat! After years of sailing in San Francisco and having my own Ranger 23 for 10 or so years, I really miss being out on the water. What a beauty you have there!
What a beautiful boat! … and love the furry crewmate! Where have you sailed Towny in the months you stay aboard? We have plans of taking our own little schooner south from Maine through the Cape Cod canal later this year (we haven’t been before).
So far we’ve kept to local and coastal cruising. We bop around between Martha’s Vineyard, Woods Hole and the Elizabeth Islands out to Penikese and Cuttyhunk. Because we are engineless, travel through the canal is tricky and we haven’t ventured that way. Give a shout when you head south and maybe we can rendezvous!
Yall are living right!!
elegant simplicity!
Love her!
Nice!
And she’s great for cozy sunset dinner parties!!
Nice job Athena and Chuck. Interesting detail and photo’s. Enjoy the water this summer.

Thanks Scott! Maybe we’ll see each other out on the water one of these summers!
