I have just purchased this beautiful boat on the hard at the Chebeague island boat yard. This is the photo from the ad on craigs list. I will be there this weekend to clean her up and start making lists and priorities. I want to put her in the water and do some sailing this season.
Many more posts to come..

In the small world department, Pearson Commander No. 26 was my first boat. I'm not sure when she moved up north (I'm on the Chesapeake), but if she came with lovely Matella stanchions, she's the same boat. The last time I saw her, she had suffered some hurricane damage on the starboard side.
Somebody stop me if I try. "A man's got to know his limitations" . I am planning to sail the boat and my ideal scenario is Northern Yacht Restoration being involved in the hull and deck restoration.

That looks like a sweet little project. I will definitely be following along when it gets to Tim's. Although I have to confess that I seem to follow all of them.
i'm not sure how to correct this but when I went to the boat this weekend I checked the hull number and it is actually #126 not 26. I don't think I can re number the boat so I would like to edit the topic.
I will post photos tomorrow of the work so far.

I've always been a big fan of the Commander. It's an Alberg, right? I love the big cockpit and the shape of the doghouse. Looks like she should clean up nicely!
