Sailing on Signe in Newport Harbor
Northrop and Johnson Sailing on S/Y SIGNE
September is one of the nicest times to sail out of Newport, Rhode Island, as the weather is still warm, the water warmer, and the air crisp and clear. Northrop and Johnson Yacht Charters was invited on an afternoon sail on Signe, the 115' Renaissance Sailing Yacht designed by Bruce King and built in Maine. This lovely ketch with a wood composite hull is a modern statement to the classic elegance of the traditional wooden hulled sailing yacht with a beautiful wood interior, full teak decks, brass fittings and lots of varnish. Built for 6 guests in 3 guest staterooms, each with ensuite bath, Signe has spent the summer chartering in New England and is set to sail to the Caribbean this winter and available for charter in these warm tropical breezes.

Scottish Captain Alistair Marshall welcomed us on board where we were greeted with warm lobster rolls in bit sized pieces for cockpit nibbling. Alistair is well assisted by an additional crew of 4, which is an engineer, Chef, Mate and Stewardess. We sailed up Narragansett Bay, under the Newport Pell Bridge and up along the northern end of Aquidneck Island. Up in these reaches of the bay, we were able to watch part of the New York Yacht Club's Invitational Cup Regatta, with 17 teams challenging.
For charter in the Caribbean this winter or in New England next summer, Signe is a great boat to consider.
