Covey Island Boatworks Schooner

PaPa 1 is a handsome, classic schooner built with time-proven Covey Island wood/epoxy techniques which marry traditional shipwright skills with contemporary materials. Her profile is reminiscent of the early Bristol Channel pilot cutters.  She is fast, comfortable and easily handled by a crew of two.  Her onboard systems are simple, well proven and easily serviced.  Maintenance is similar to any modern vessel.  PaPa 1 is equally comfortable leading the fleet around the buoys at the Antigua Classic or cruising around the world.

Nigel Irons drew the lines for PaPa1 with an acknowledgement to the aesthetics of the early Bristol Channel Cutters which were known for their speed and sea kindliness. Nigel Irons’ design portfolio includes numerous race winning / record setting designs and his ability to combine classic aesthetics with performance is legendary.  

John Steele, founder of Covey Island Boatworks, is credited with the interior design and arrangement, drawing upon perspectives gained as a yachtbuilder with a portfolio of notable yachts.  His experience in cruising thousands of sea miles further influenced his work.
