Jeorgia is hull #34 of the J/37s. Her serial number has her being built in August 1988. Jeorgia is a wing-keeled J with a shoal draft of 5' 6". She was originally delivered to Portland, OR. and kept on the Columbia river. During her stay on the Columbia she reportedly did a season in Mexico. In 2000 she was trucked to Bellingham, WA. on the Puget Sound for her new owner. After cleanup and a rehab the boat was put into charter. She chartered for a year in the San Juan Islands and then was sold to her current owner. Pervious names were Sea Rhymes, Main Course, and Rubber Duck She is currently home ported in Edmonds, WA. Where she cruises to the US and Canadian San Juan Islands with her owner. She is mostly sailed singled handed or with the trusty crew. |
