I own "Sailing Paradise" a yacht charter brokerage firm in Bay Shore, NY , and my intention is to give the chance to my customers, to sail this beautiful classic. She needs a lot of work and she will be restored to the best possible way trying to preserve her as of the time she was built from the Boatyard.  Congratulations for your nice work and effort in keeping this site, if I can help with technical advice for your members I would love to.

Bottom work is done (peeled, dried, epoxied(x8) painted micronCRC(x2), but topsides are not done. Teak decks were removed and glassed over, engine and trans. rebuilt, but no fuel/ exhaust/ electrical. Interior is gross, Does anybody know where to get teak cheap? Right.

"When we bought Blessed is 2003, she was almost fully restored after having been damaged by Hurricane Andrew in Florida. Since taking possession of Blessie, we've continued restoration and unpgrade work, including adding a new propane stove and oven, cabin heater, microwave, new electronics, refinishing interior and cockpit storage areas, and adding new shelving in both the forward and main cabins. We've had the mizzen sail recut for a better set, have refinished all of the exterior brightwork and the spars, and our winter project for 2005-6 has been replacing the worn out teak decking in the cockpit. Blessie is a joy to sail, and we're finding that we're currently able to spend most of our somewhat short summer sailing season in Maine, cruising and living aboard. We'd love to hear from and/or rendezvous with other Clipper owners who may be visiting Maine."

OWNERS - Brian Black
AREA OF SAILING - Strangford, N. Ireland
E-Mail Brian

I bought CAELAN (then named Silver Hind) in 1996 and have upgraded the boat significantly since then. The first priority for both comfort and security was a doghouse to replace the pramhood which I felt was too insubstantial for the Arctic sailing I had in mind. Since then we have had several Arctic seasons - Iceland/Greenland, Svalbard twice and East Greenland again last year. Storms, ice and flat calms, CAELAN has proved an able and seaworthy craft. Her only vice is a waywardness in light airs which I suspect may be due to being undercanvassed. I have just ordered a new headsail to replace the yankee jib to see if that rectifies the problem - any views would be welcome. We are now engaged in thw winter re-fit and plan to launch again before Christmas with a busy season anticipated in 2007.

Dakota has now been trucked to Coconut Grove, Florida where we will be sailing her and getting her outfitted for a planned trans Atlantic crossing in a couple of years.  Our maiden voyage was bringing her out of the ship yard and sailing her 125 miles down to Miami against the gulf stream with stiff winds and steep choppy waves during our first cold front of the year to come through.  She sailed beautifully, not one wave over the bow making 8 knots much of the way even with sloppy sail settings since we raised the booms to accommodate a bimini top and had not yet had the sails re cut.  Still a lot of work to do, but it's a joy to work on her.

Very few Schooner versions of the Clipper were produced, here is history of Taxi Dancer

The photo of the "clipper schooner" on the bottom left of your website is one 1971 Choey Lee Clipper '42 Staysail Schooner christened the "Taxi Dancer" of Juneau, AK. The vessel was originally named "TAI-PAN" and still has the plaque inside with the name on it, which reads in Chinese that it was made in a shipyard in Kowloon, Hong Kong (luckily my girlfriend is chinese). The vessel was renamed by it's second owner to "Foreign Affair", and renamed again by it's 3rd owner (Timothy Davis I believe) in 1981 to the Taxi Dancer. The boat at that time was torn down to the hull and completely remodeled. A new motor and transmission was put in it, among other things, and the dog house was added. The vessel was acquired in 1999 by one Mark Dorsey who I believe to be the Fourth owner. I acquired the vessel in August of 2006. She's in good shape with a few minor chips in the gel coat from a few recent storms, and looks quite like she did in that photo. Add a dinghy hoisted off the stern, and in place sail bags and you have the boat I'm writing this email from.
