Description

PRELIMINARY LISTING–MORE PHTOS COMING SOON Built by Yachtsmith International in Halifax, Nova Scotia, “Tesha” was designed and built for long range and low maintenance world travel. She’s also ideal for charters–both day charters and overnights. She possesses a certain charm that will make you fall in love with her!
With a build/launch date at ten years, she falls into the “newer” category, which is beneficial for ease of purchasing and many other things. She’s not a rusty old steel or wooden schooner…her RUGGED aluminum build sets her apart from the crowd.
Commissioned in 2013 after eight years in the making, ‘Tesha’ is Coast Guard Documented and sailed from Canadian waters to the Florida keys before settling at her current berth in Marco Island, Florida. She was run as a charter business in Key West, FL, for a brief period of time, and could easily be put back into charter as a money-making venture.

MECHANICAL/ELECTRICAL

The result is that engine noise, heat, and odors are completely separated from the living spaces. Two mushroom dorade vents for engine room ventilation.

Two (port and starboard) 75 gallon fresh water tanks in main cabin; large, fiberglass black water tank in keel well.

RIG
The schooner rig design for ‘Tesha’ is surprisingly simple. The Sails (Main Gaff – Fore Gaff & Jib) are heavy duty. Oceanus offshore fabric and triple stitched, each with 3 reefs. The Main and Fore are laced on for ease and quiet and the jib is self-tacking on a boom. 
Stainless standing rigging on turnbuckles and the Running Rigging is synthetic 3-strand (easy to splice) with oak blocks. The two Gaffs are kept short to maximize luff length, eliminate gaff tops’ls and to permit the use of single halyards. The main halyards are rigged so that there is 2-1 pull on the port side to get the sails up, and rigged 8-1 on the starboard side to add tension. There are adequate pin rails on all shrouds and on the
masts. The spars are aluminum pipe and are considerably lighter and stronger than wood.

‘Tesha’ was built by using aluminum for the hull, deck, and cabin; and by using aluminum pipe for the spars. Large, high significant hand rails aft of the main shrouds for offshore safety and heavy duty dingy davits on the stern.
