Cedar — Bud MacIntosh Sloop

Originally launched in 1965 as “Go Go Girl,” Cedar spent years under initial ownership sailing from Chatham, MA and York, ME. The vessel was discovered covered in a Vermont field in 2018 by noted maritime writer Maynard Bray. Boat builder Paul Rollins acquired and restored the vessel, a project documented in WoodenBoat magazine. Cedar was relaunched in 2023.
