WELCOME TO THE SCHOONER
METEOR
The Meteor began life in 1965 as racing/cruising sloop.
Though her hull is not wood her design is classic. With a full keel and sweeping sheer typical of early Carl Alberg designs she is
exactly what I was looking for to convert into a personal schooner.
Acquired early this past autumn I began the full time
process of restoration and redesign.
Launching the "new" Meteor is slated for mid-June 2023. Until then I am posting a few photos to help illustrate this great small schooner.
