Mr. Herman Schieis, the man who protected Grand Lady for more than two decades, has passed away.
Mr. Schieis bought her at an auction in Baltimore in 1983. While he didn't have the funds to restore her, he did the next best thing: He protected her for more than two decades.
He built his Grand Lady a beautiful boathouse to keep her under cover while he lived in a modest mobile home next to her.
We are deeply saddened by the loss of this great yachtsman.

- Founded in 1986 by Maine trained boatbuilder, Jim Moores, the company has two locations: Riveria Beach, Fl., in Palm Beach County and Beaufort, North Carolina. We understand the anatomy of a wooden boat from a builder's perspective and the difference between yacht quality and work boats. Our work ranges from structural carpentry, mirror-like brightwork and paint, to shaft alignments, bow thruster and gyro installations.
