About the Gyrfalcon
The Gyrfalcon is our 88 foot wooden fantail. She was built in Seattle in 1941 for the Coast & Geodesic Survey, and spent the next 20 years doing survey work in Alaska. Since then she has been converted to a private yacht. We purchased her in September, 2012, and will spend the next several years renovating her so that we can move aboard, and eventually cruise the world.
Lovely boat. I hope it has less dry rot than some people’s brains. Especially in the backbone timbers, which are the devil to replace. I wonder if there are any Little Ships of Dunkirk in Seattle?
