Oregon resident Mr Schmidt had plans to build a new 28’ – 33’ bermudan ketch to cruise the Pacific Ocean. His son Scott had recently completed his smaller Laurent Giles designed Trekka design and was trialing her in Puget Sound when Mr Schmidt contacted Bill Matthew.
After considering half a dozen designs which included the 29’ Peter Duck class ketch, Kalliste and the Wanderer class Mr Schmidt eventually selected the Vertue.
The construction project would be undertaken over a four or five year period and from time to time Mr Schmidt contacted the Partners with questions and updates on progress of the construction of this long doghouse masthead sloop.
