After a colorful history with several owners, she was generously donated to the woodworking class at Port Townsend High School. However, a marine surveyor determined she was too ambitious for a school project, leading to her sale. Local boatbuilder Bill Clark acquired her, relocating her to San Diego for a comprehensive restoration. **Renovations by Bill Clark at Clark's Custom Boats, San Diego, CA:** - All ribs replaced with durable ash laminate and encapsulated in West Systems Epoxy. - Deck and house beams upgraded to sapele mahogany. - Seams reworked and reinforced with epoxy-saturated mahogany staves. - Weak planks replaced; entire hull treated with epoxy resin. - Refastened with bronze screws and fitted with new bronze chainplates. - Deck and house lid replaced with Baltic birch ply, reinforced with eGlass and epoxy. - Cabin and cockpit coaming replaced with flame-grained mahogany. **Renovations by Previous Owner (2021):** - Complete repainting of hull and deck using AwlGrip’s epoxy system. - Replacement of all standing and running rigging with high-quality materials. - New interior features including cabinetry, v-berth, and porta-potty. - Enhanced cockpit seating and sole with matching sapele mahogany. - New Quantum sails in vintage-style fabric and a symmetrical spinnaker added. - Extensive bright work finished with multiple coats of Epifanes varnish. **Renovations by Current Owner (2025):** - Installation of new Quantum racing mainsail and jib, along with an asymmetric spinnaker. - Updated all running rigging to low-stretch lines for racing performance. - Added new technology such as a trolling motor, Raymarine autopilot, and lithium battery systems. - Enhanced safety and storage features, including lifejackets and storage bags. - Jewel holds a current ORC racing handicap rating, making her an exciting opportunity for sailing enthusiasts.
