The design of the R. Tucker Thompson The traditional gaff-rigged schooner, R. Tucker Thompson was started by R. Tucker Thompson in the late 1970s as a project to embody the best features of a traditional design, married to the materials of today. After Tucker's death, the R. Tucker Thompson was completed by Tucker's son Todd Thompson and Russell Harris. The ship was built in Mangawhai, New Zealand and launched in 1985. Her design is based on the Halibut schooners of the North West American coast which were considered fast and sea kindly and easily manned.
