Master Shipwright - F. W. "Skip" Joest
1930 Schooner MISTRESS
F. W. "Skip" Joest - Master Shipwright
United States
Skip and I have been together for over forteen years. On our first anniversary we discussed our life ambitions, dreams, and desires. This is when I learned Skip's dream was to sail around the world. I asked him what it would take and we discussed how we would accomplish such a goal. We planned for ten years to find, rebuild, and launch the kind of Schooner we hoped for. She would be a wooden boat with history, sleek lines, and the ability to look good and go fast. Additionally, she needed to be strong enough to sail the southern ocean.
