1994

1994 was an important year for Sheila, following two years during which she was not sailed, or hardly.

Important work was initiated to create a new deck in Yellow Cedar and a new mizzen mast in British Colombian Pine.
A lot of attention (and money) was to be devoted to embellishments, such as the engravings gracing the cockpit and the cockpit table. The “mouse” was engraved on the stair.
A new mizzen and a new furling jib were to be provided by Gayle Heard.

Sheila was to be restored to the original and much better looking arrangement of twin windows on the cabin.
