Newport,OR

 
We enjoyed visiting the Oregon Coast Memorial Day weekend. One thing we did  was visit a replica vessel called the Hawaiian Chieftain which is the name of a sailing vessel known as the Spirit of Larinda. Built in 1988 in Lahaina on the island of Maui, the Hawaiian Chieftain is a contemporary interpretation of a traditional design. She is unique with the rig of a 19th-century trading vessel and a modern triple keel, shallow draft hull. Drawing only 5.5 feet, she is highly maneuverable in shallow waters.
