‘LADY HELEN’ of Chestertown is truly an opportunity of a lifetime! The indigenous Chesapeake Bay Skipjack represents the rich maritime heritage of the Bay and is quickly and unanimously identified on the water as such. Unfortunately the working Skipjack, along with the bounty of the Bay they harvested are increasingly rare. The chance to own a legitimate, true, traditionally built Skipjack has been the dream of many but rarely achieved. While there are some working Skipjacks plying the waters of the Chesapeake Bay, and a few notable vintage vessels which have benefitted from extensive and extremely expensive rebuilding and refitting after decades of service, there are precious few modern but traditionally built Skipjacks purposely executed as a yacht. The opportunity to own one, especially in such fabulous condition, is even more rare.   Enter ‘LADY HELEN’ of Chestertown.   Built in 1987 of traditional materials and techniques, she is a true modern classic and represents all that is historic, beautiful and pleasing that only a Chesapeake Bay Skipjack can possess. Just look at the photos. This fine vessel has been meticulously maintained by a very knowledgeable USCG licensed captain to yacht standards. Stem to stern, top to bottom, all finishes, systems, equipment, machinery and rigging are in top condition….without exception. The interior accommodations are beautifully finished and offer simple, honest amenities that one would find on most any classic yacht. The exterior deck space is uncluttered, clean and comfortable. ANYONE with an appreciation for traditional craft, quality workmanship, and maritime history will be immediately drawn to ‘LADY HELEN’. TO OWN such a vessel is truly a dream come true. When do you think another opportunity such as this will come your way? Incidentally, a complete, out of water survey was conducted on the boat in July of 2010 resulting in ZERO findings or recommendations. Don’t wait to inquire about this fabulous boat!
