Jade Lady is truly a one-of-a-kind steel schooner. She has voyaged more than 30,000 miles and has become known throughout New England, the Chesapeake and the far corners of the Caribbean for her beauty and her proven offshore record.
Jade Lady was designed by George Sutton, the renowned steel boat builder (Sutton Boat Works) of Tarpon Springs, FL during the 70's and 80's. She was built in St. Augustine by Dennis Schreiber, a well-known steel boat builder who collaborated with George Sutton. Jade Lady has had only two owners since her construction. A shipwright himself, her previous owner took on the two-year project of finishing this beautiful boat, employing his fine joiner skills to craft an interior using solid mahogany, teak, and ash. Her interior was built with an eye to practicality, comfort and safety at sea.
Jade Lady has rounded bilges (rolled steel) - a very special and unusual feature on steel boats of this size, most of which are hard chine, making her a dream to sail. An ultrasound was done on the boat in November of 2019 with no problems noted.
Virtually every system on the boat was updated in 2013-2014 and has been used primarily for day sailing and short trips since 2013. Recent updates includes, new wiring throughout the vessel, a new fuel system, all new PVC pressure-fitting plumbing system, new exhaust hoses, new through hull fittings, a Fireboy fire suppression system in the engine room. There are two new VacuFlush heads and new sink faucets. The standing rigging has been updated, and the newer sails have seen little use. Recently Jade Lady had a new hot water tank and shower sump pump in 2020, and all new reverse cycle heat and AC and all new Garmin electronics in 2021. Jade Lady is on the market for only the second time since her construction. If you are looking for a classic vessel that draws attention in every port, Jade Lady is worth your consideration.
