Jasmine Thomas spent a good part of last winter rehabilitating ADVENTURESS, a Sparkman & Stephens-designed Gulfstream 30 sloop built by Norman Hodgdon in East Boothbay, Maine, in 1959. In this WoodenBoat Legends video, shot by Truman Forbes, Jasmine walks us through the restoration process and takes ADVENTURESS out on the water.
