Design: Sam Chamberlin

Sam Chamberlin grew up exploring the islands of Penobscot Bay from his family home on Isle au Haut. These early experiences led to a variety of jobs in Maine's traditional schooner fleet, on yachts, and commercial fishing. He studied Physics at Bates College and Yacht Design at the Landing School. Prior to joining the design staff at Rockport Marine, he worked as a boatbuilder and designer for Brooklin, Maine-based designer Brion Rieff.

Sam is also restoring VAIGER, a double-ended gaff cutter built in 1951 in Scalloway, Shetland.
