Surry, Maine, United States
Moonshine
Built in Jonesport, Maine, this rugged lobster boat has won quite a few races too! She was converted to pleasure use in the 1990s and 2014 had a 425 HP Crusader installed and was re-wired. She turns heads with her graceful sheer, low profile, and spacious cockpit. A true Maine Downeaster.

Kathe grew up in the village of Manset in Southwest Harbor, Maine, in and out of her father's and grandfather's boat shops and on the water in various vessels. Sailing at girls' camps and on the family boats were a large part of summers with family and friends. From the late '60s through early '80s, the family summer vacation was going to the Friendship Sloop Races in Friendship Harbor on the family sloop. Plus many sails and power boat picnics on island beaches. Kathe and her husband, Dan, live on Mount Desert Island and have five grown children and several grandchildren. They both are USCG Master Captains and enjoy working and recreating on the water.
