Elf is a topsail sloop designed and built by George Lawley in 1888. After a long career and numerous rig changes she was restored by the Classic Yacht Restoration Guild, relaunched in 2007 and rigged later that year. Our shop designed and built her rig using period photographs and the original builders notes. Elf was featured in the issue 209 of WoodenBoat Magazine and sails on the Chesapeake bay.

This recreation of Olympia's original Pilot House with furnishing was built in 2007 after painstaking research in our own archives. The bridge is where Dewey uttered the words "You may fire when ready Gridley"  and is currently the one area that shows what the entire vessel looked like when new.

In addito to Spyder our builders produced Tamwock, Vapor, Spy II, and Torch.
