| We realise that not many of
you sail around in 3-masters built 100 years ago, the likes
of the Christian Radich, the Norwegian training ship. But
when the Radich decided to renew her complete sail inventory
of 14,480 sq. ft, Lee Sails was selected to do it.
So were other tall ships like the American
Rover, the Sorlandet,
the Statsraad
Lehmkuhl, the Te Quest, the Unicorn, etc. In fact,
it's the adaptability and versatility that have made
Lee Sails a truly international sailmaker. Be it a
fleet of sabots or a renowned Beneteau 51, you'll find
Lee Sails on board.

schooners used as cargo carrying vessels and by
New England fishermen. LIBERTY is Coast Guard licensed

You too can sail on the Thomas
E. Lannon that was featured on the cover of WoodenBoat
Magazine and is flying Lee Sails.
Picture yourself relaxing on the deck of this beautiful 65-foot
schooner as she sails out of Gloucester Harbor on a light southwesterly
breeze. The Thomas E. Lannon takes passengers out for a two-hour
sail and gives them a taste of what it was like to sail on a
fishing schooner a hundred years ago.
Lee Sails is proud to have fully outfitted the Thomas
E. Lannon with a full set of sails and was featured on the cover
over Wooden Boat. >> Visit

The
American Rover ~ Norfolk, VA
|

Since 1986, the American Rover’s red “tan
bark” sails have been one of the signature sights
of the Hapton Roads area. She is 135 feet in length
and is a three masted topsail schooner. There is ample
comfortable seating with shade topside. Below decks you
will find 2 smartly appointed climate-controlled lounges,
ship’s store and bar, and clean, comfortable rest
rooms.
April through October she sails the smooth waters of
the Elizabeth River and Hampton Roads Harbor on daily
1 ½ and 2 Hour Narrated Harbor and Sunset Cruises.
On board guests can lend a hand with the sails, take
a turn at the helm or just sit back, relax and enjoy
the experience.
The American Rover is Coast Guard Certified and Inspected
to carry up to 149 passengers. Cruises depart from Waterside
in the heart of Dowtown Norfolk, Virginia.

The Schooner Aquidneck - New
Port, Rhode Island
|
|
|
The Schooner Aquidneck (formerly the
Lady Stirling) is a magnificent 80 foot gaff rigged schooner
built in 2004. She is a vivid reminder of the clipper schooners
of the past, transporting cargo and seafood to our local shores.
The Aquidneck is a Charles Whittholz designed sailing vessel,
built by Captain Dan Hallock at the New Suffolk Shipyard, on
the North Fork of Long Island, New York.
Lee Sails was chosen to outfit the Lady
Stirling with a full suit of sails for her maiden voyage
and we are happy to say that we continue to outfit the
Schooner Aquidneck >> Visit

The Bay Lady II sails out of Provincetown
Harbor and takes passengers on two hour cruises. Each trip
is unique as the varied moods of the wind, sky sea combine
to create an ever-changing panorama, accompanied by the sounds
of wind in the rigging and the lapping of water against her
hull.
The Bay Lady II is equipped with a full suit of Lee Sails. >> Visit

| Mr and Mrs. Dunau are repeat customers and were nice
enough to give us this picture of their O'day Typhoon
Daysailer fully outfitted with Lee Sails. No Measuring!
They and didn't need to measure this time around becuase
they used the patch numbers on their existing sails to
order exact duplicate of what they already had. |

I meant to respond sooner to give
you an idea about how things turned out, but time
seems to have a way of slipping by un-noticed. Anyway,
the sail looks great, fits perfectly, and is well-supported
by the new battens. The Warrior logo is very unique
and looks exceptional against the tanbark sail.
