Herbert Davis, 1923 – 1996 Chapter VI

Aurora was too small for living aboard, so Herbert sold it. He then bought an old inter-island schooner, Cecily M., and redesigned the sails to the double-masted gaff rig below. Cecily, as far as I can remember, was 38 feet long (LOA). He rebuilt the interior so that we could live on the boat.

Sailing down the Grenadines on Cecily was always enjoyable. We once sailed as far as Grenada and back.
