Scuttlebutt Photos: Coronet at IYRS
Photos by D.B. Tanner
(July 20, 2006) Coronet was moved to International Yacht Restoration School (IYRS) in May 2004 to undergo a complete restoration (click here for photos). The images below were from June 2005 after the school erected this building for her. Since September 2005, the project has been on hold due to a lack of funding. However, the IYRS recently announced that the 1885
schooner yacht would soon be conveyed to Coronet Restoration
Partners (CRP) to complete her restoration. San Francisco-based Jeffery Rutherford of Rutherford Boat Works working with
Robert McNeil, an accomplished sailor and classic boat restorer, are the
lead principals of Coronet Restoration Partners. The group will undertake
the completion of the restoration of the 133-foot Coronet and emphasizes
that this work will include a close relationship with IYRS. The project is
to resume on the school's campus. - Complete report:
