The Sandy is a Chesapeake Bay log canoe. She is a 28'-11⁄4" long sailing log canoe with two masts and a racing rig. Log-built, with carvel-fitted rising planks, the boat has a beam of 6'-81⁄4". She is one of the last 22 surviving traditional Chesapeake Bay racing log canoes, carrying on a tradition of racing on the Eastern Shore of Maryland that has existed since the 1840s. She is located at Sherwood, Talbot County, Maryland.[2][3]
She was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1985.[1]
