Schooner ‘Valora’ is the newest gem in the Appledore fleet. Inspired by Commodore Munroe’s legendary ‘Sharpie’ designs that once carried passengers and mail through the Florida Keys in the late 1088s, ‘Valora’ beautifully blends history with modern craftsmanship. Though newly built, her spirit sails from another time. With her exceptional shoal-draft design, “Valora’ glides effortlessly through the shallow, sparkling waters around Key West, perfect for adventurous day sails and unforgettable island exploration.
