Seaquestor is a ketch rig Allied Princess 36. She is the eigth Allied Princess built (hull number ABC-PRC008-72). She was laid down in 1972 and launched in 1973. We bought her in June 1996 and have been gradually refitting her since then. The table below lists the work we have completed to date and what we have planned for the near future. Follow the links in that table to find out the details of each of the changes/upgrades we have made. Following the table are Seaquestor's specifications, an interior layout drawings, a few pictures (more to come soon) and some useful links.

|
| 1999 and beyond | Our plans for 1999 and beyond are not yet firm because they depend on both where we will be and how we decide to use the boat. Some of the things that we are likely to do include: installing radar, installing a new electrical panel and completely rewiring the boat, and building a new propane locker in the aft lazerette to replace the existing locker on the cabin top. If we decide to go on an extended cruise, we will also add a life raft, a water maker and an SSB radio set. |

Here is a shot taken in August 1998 by Linda showing the cruising spinnaker and Todd on the bow during a sail on east Penobscot Bay, ME from Rockland to Buck's Harbor.
Seaquestor, like all Allied Princesses has a spacious cockpit. Here is
Seaquestor's cockpit in a photo taken on a nice August 1996 afternoon during
a sail off the central Maine coast north of Mount Desert Island. My wife
Linda is at the helm.
This picture shows Seaquestor on the hard
in April 1996 with the old bottom paint.
In addition to Seaquestor, I also have a 7.4 m (24 foot 3 inch) Challenger
sloop named Chinook.
