1924 design by C.D. Mower for racing on Moriches and Shinnecock Bays (NY). Built in 1994 by Alexandria Seaport Foundation, Joe Youcha, Geoff Kerr and their crew based on construction notes and diagrams in Edwin J. Schoettle's 1928 "Sailing Craft" with some advice from Joel White.
I remember 2 Shorebirds; 1 in Babylon, & the other in Bellport. The Babylon boat still had her original strip planked deck. Awesome boats!
