The Evans is part of the Maine Windjammer fleet and member of the Maine Windjammer Association, carrying 22 adventure vacationers and ecotourists on 1-, 3-, 4- and 6-night sailing trips in Penobscot Bay, Maine. Her homeport is Rockland, Maine and her sailing grounds range from Boothbay Harbor, Maine to Bar Harbor, Maine.[4]
She is currently owned by Captain Brenda and Brian Thomas.[5] Captain Thomas purchased the vessel from Capt. Edward Glaser in 1999 after working as a crew member for several years. Brenda and Brian married in May 2008 and continue to offer sailing adventures through their business; Maine Boating Adventures, LLC. They specialize in family trips and are the only schooner that welcomes children as young as age 6 on all of their cruises.[5] }
The Evans' sparred length is 99 feet, 65 feet on deck, 20 feet at the beam and draws 6 feet with the centerboard up. She is a two-masted gaff-rigged topsail schooner with low sides and an elegant clipper bow, using a yawl boat for auxiliary power as one might a small tug boat to maneuver the vessel on and off the dock and when she is becalmed.[5]
