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.
Below are a few pictures
that will illustrate the process. updates will be
posted from time to time.

Positioning the main mast step required moving the cabin entrance forward.

New wood is always exciting. Shaping the stern toe rails.
