Built locally to sail globallyCaptain’s Note

It seems ironic that although I started this charter business in 1992, I have spent much of the past few decades literally building the competition. However, in the winter of 2011 with the help of friends and family I finally got around to building a new schooner for myself. There is something indescribable about seeing the many other vessels that I have designed, built, or in some way had my hand in while out on the water with friends and paying guests. The sight makes me both eternally grateful for our Cape Ann heritage and proud of the role I have played in keeping our maritime traditions alive. Although Cape Ann’s land and seascapes are beautiful, it is our vessels that have inspired the imaginations of artists, photographers, writers, and visitors alike. I am sure you will all enjoy the ARDELLE. ! -Harold Burnham
