CEDAR
1965, Bud MacIntosh Sloop, 39'
Cedar was designed and built by famed New Hampshire boat builder Bud McIntosh in his shop at Dover Point along the banks of the Piscataqua River and launched in 1965 under the name Go Go Girl. She spent many happy years under her first ownership sailing out of Chatham, MA and York ME before being sold to new ownership and mostly out of sight and out of mind until found by Maynard Bray in 2018 sitting covered from sight and the elements in a field in Vermont.
Maynard wrote about this find in his series of articles for WoodenBoat magazine entitled “Save A Classic” and that article was read with great interest by boat builder Paul Rollins for whom her original designer / builder, Bud McIntosh had been a mentor.
Paul Rollins contacted the owner of Cedar (ex Go Go Girl) and acquired the boat with the idea of refitting her as a nice little retirement project. As these things go there’s always more work to be done than originally seen to the eye and what was intended to be a refit evolved into an almost complete restoration (nicely documented in the WoodenBoat article “Bringing Go Go Girl Home” by Randall Peffer).
Relaunched in 2023 and available for inspection by interested parties, Cedar is now ready for yet another 50+ years of sailing (or more).
