We come to Newport on our own sailboat and love to stop by and check the on the progress of the Coronet! They are working on the inside of the boat, put the walls up. This yacht has so much history. .....if your ever in Newport make it a point to stop by and read about this beautiful yacht!
My friend has a great interest in yachting and restored boats, therefore while we were on a weekend getaway to Newport, we decided to visit the Yacht restoration school which also has a museum. Luckily, we got there right before they closed for the winter. We saw the Coronet which is a yacht that was built in 1800's, an absolutely gorgeous boat which was restored beautifully. There were quite a few interesting exhibits here and we enjoyed conversing with a few sailors who teach at the IYRS. They have a class where you can learn to build your own sailing dinghy. If we manage to rummage up the cost of the kit and tuition (it is quite expensive), then we will definitely be back here. Until then, we will have to be content to view the exhibits here and seeing all the beautiful restoration's in progress.
