Coquina was a first-year student project boat at the International Yacht Restoration School (IYRS). First year students work specifically on rebuilding and restoring Beetle Cats because these vessels require students to show an in-depth understanding of boat shapes, designs, rigging, and materials. In addition to the restoration work, students measure the boats, loft the lines, and create a scale lines plan and half model. After their completion and test sail the first-year built boats, like Coquina, are then auctioned or sold to the public. In Coquina’s case she was purchased before the students even began work on restoring her because the buyer had a very specific hull color in mind. Her iconic blue/green makes her a bright addition to the ABM sailing fleet.Acquisition
