Sailings Aboard the Olympia Schooners!
Schooner Pterodactyl is a 58-foot gaff rigged schooner home built in the 70’s in Snohomish, WA by Eddie Landis. Having sailed the Salish Sea for almost 50 years and being based in Olympia since the early 1990’s, she has become an icon in the local maritime community. In 2021 Pterodactyl was passed down to the next generation of sailors who started the Olympia Sailing Company, a boutique private day sailing company operating out of the Boston Harbor Marina April-October.
