Twice a circumnavigator, 70' Ted Brewer gaff schooner Tree of Life burst onto the boating scene as star attraction of the 1991 Wooden Boat Show in Newport, RI. A year later she was voted on of the '100 Greatest' sailing yachts in North America by a panel of SAIL Magazine experts and readers.
Since then she has circled the globe with original owner Kelly Kellogg (to 2000), then with current owners John and Sherri Laramme of Newport, RI. The Tree has been part of numerous Tall Ships events and has proved a capable racer, winning 1st in Class at the 1998 Antigua Classic Yacht Regatta and 1st Overall at the Bay of Islands Classic Regatta in 1997.
The Laramees had put the schooner on the market, but after a recent (2007) refit they decided "the Tree needed a bit more of us and we needed a bit more of the Tree in our lives."
