Launched in 1986 in New Zealand and named for the heroine in Paul Gallico’s book, The Snow Goose, the brigantine Fritha was built by traditional methods to unparalleled standards of excellence in materials and craftsmanship.

The Fritha’s home waters of Southern New England offer some of the most beautiful scenery and the best sailing in the world. Interesting ports and anchorages including:
– Buzzard’s Bay
– Elizabeth Islands
– Martha’s Vineyard and
