The Frank Edmond keel was laid in 1984 and she was splashed in 2005. She was designed and built by Leland Parsons, a shipwright since 1957. The craftmanship and attention to detail is evident throughout.The schooner's hull is cold molded of 7 layers of 3/8" plywood with the hull's exterior being completely fiber-glassed and the interior is fiber-glassed to the waterline. The Frank Edmond has a 85 HP Ford-Lehman 4-cylinder diesel engine with two PTOs, a specially designed hydraulic drive that turns a 4-blade prop. 25-hp bow and stern thrusters make mooring this large vessel easy.This 1984 Gloucester fishing schooner replica carries a complement of electronics that includes Raymarine ST60 Wind Speed/Direction, ST60 Speed/Distance Logs, ST-60 Depth Sounder, ST 8002 Autopilot, C120 GPS, C120 Chart Plotter, C120 Radar, I-Com M802 SSB, and a Last Watch II Helmsman Minder.She features both 110v AC and 12v DC electric service with shore power cord, 3 AGM house batteries, two engine start batteries and a generator start battery. A Northern Lights 5kW diesel generator powers the Frank Edmund when shore power is unavailable.The Frank Edmund offers plenty of comfort and convenience. From the pilothouse through a storm hatch, a companionway puts you into the the salon where there are opposing settees, cabinetry, and a wall-mounted heater.
