Here you see the big-bodied schooner HERITAGE in Great Cove Wednesday morning. She had just boarded passengers who were visiting the WoodenBoat School campus:
Her tarps are up and her sails aren’t because she’s being pushed by CLARK KENT, her yawl boat, to Babson Island in the Cove. (The schooner has no internal motor.) Her passengers likely are looking forward to a beach lunch.
The 145-foot HERITAGE is now the largest coastal cruiser that visits the Cove regularly. The larger VICTORY CHIMES (170’) has been retired, and I hear that she’s enjoying life as a waterfront bar and restaurant. According to HERITAGE’s schedule, she was on a six-night exploration of the Maine coast. (Images taken in Brooklin, Maine, on September 3, 2025.)
