And now here she was, not 2 miles from my house in Mattapoisett! Peterson, the owner of The Wooden Tangent, gave me a tour of Serafynn, pointing out some of her unusual features, including the cunning, custom-designed self-steering mechanism and the external chain plates. He also marveled at how solidly built she is, noting the closely spaced 2” by 2” mahogany frames. No wonder she was able to withstand some rough ocean crossings, including a knockdown in the North Sea.
