1932 #22 “Hummingbird” is up for sale. Unfortunately after an extensive restoration and the kids ready to learn how to sail I got run over last week riding home from the office. The Doc says it’ll be a year before I’m capable of getting back to work. Instead of watching entropy its best that the boat goes to someone that can appreciate and race in the Bay’s oldest, most competitive sailing fleet. I’d give it away for free to the right person, but free boats tend to die. Consider the amount that has gone into the boat the price is just about that.

The good news. The boat is just about ready to sail. It has gone through an extensive restoration with about 80% wood and 100% hardware new. The list below describes the work done and notable hardware.

New-100% Frames, stem, floors, keelbolts, transom, rudder, aft deck/cockpit (done in teak last month), boom, all hardware and winches.

Sails are Pineapple with 2 race seasons on them. Main, jib and spinnaker. Dry stored at my house since their last use. All lines, standing rigging and halyards new.

Needs to be done to sail/race-

Haul out for bottom and topside paint. Mount cockpit hardware. Varnish rig and booms. Needs name on transom. Forward decks should be painted. No floorboards down below.

Long term, the boat needs knees and several planks renewed (buttblocks and knees are only iron left in boat).

Extras- Boxes of silicon bronze fasteners and fittings. Paint, varnish and lumber I’ll throw in. Deposit on a new canvas cover. Advice if you need it.

No way I want to add up what I have in this. But, Hummingbird won everything for two seasons. My wife learned how to sail. It has been a great education in restoring. And, I was able to participate in the best fleet on the Bay. Let’s call the price $2K for the right person. Again, the boat needs some work, but should be no problem entering next season.

Best regards,

Geoff Ashton geoff.ashton@aetco.com

She’s also a fast boat. I entered her in the Master Mariners regatta in 2004 and came in third in our division (Marconi III) in the 2005 race we took first in our division, I didn’t race in 2006 but raced in the Master Mariner regatta over Memorial Day weekend and took first in our division again. The auxiliary power is an Atomic Four that I believe is original to the boat. Since I’ve had the boat the engine has been professionally serviced by Dan Davies. It seems to be in very good condition; it doesn’t burn oil, starts every time and maintains consistent oil pressure of approximately 40 pounds.

Attached is a list of significant upgrades which I have had installed on the boat since I purchased it in January of 2004, the boat was in good condition when I purchased it. However, it had not had much in the way of upgrades since it was originally built. Further, some of the installations that were made by the owner immediately previous to me were not in keeping with my sense of design for the boat.

Upgrades

• Completely replace 12 volt system and distribution panel
• Develop 110 volt system
• Install built-in battery charging system
• Relocate bilge pump out-flow
• Replace plastic ports lens with laminated glass
• Add an additional opening port, front of cabin
• Replace all blocks with ash and bronze blocks
• Add deadeye port to escape hatch
• Replace all running rigging with three strand dacron
• Replace lifelines
• Remove mast, remove, polish and reinstall all mast hardware and prime and paint mast
• Prime and paint both booms
• Develop “preventer” system
• Veneer transom with vertical grain mahogany
• Replace stereo, stereo wiring, interior speakers and add cockpit speakers
• Strip and rebuild whisker pole
• Install deck mounted to whisker pole brackets
• Provide compass with custom trim and light
• Supply and install cockpit instruments
• Develop folding table
• Paint and varnish cabin interior
• Remove carpeted cabin floor boards and replace with teak
• Replace cabin cushions
• Provide new cockpit cushions
• Repaint the hull, cabin top and cabin sides
• Develop anchor support bracket on cabin top
• That supply and install new naval pipe
• Supply and install “dead-eye” in escape hatch
• Supply and install bronze deck air-vent
• Supply and install closable bronze vent in rear lazarette
• Supply and install new cabin lighting
• Paint and varnish cabin interior
• Supply and install new alcohol stove
• Develop custom boat pole bracket

The boat is 40ft, 7’2″, and draws 6 ft with a lead keel and small lead wing. She has been little used. She has a 17 hp Yanmar, with approx 50 hours on it, sail are in good condition, forward looking sonar, porta potty, sleep 4, 15 gals water, and diesel. She is extremely fast, and has been recorded at 13.4 knots on reefed main and genoa. She sails easily at 7-10 knots and can be singled handed easily. Gene put approx 160K of material in her, including hand carved knees for the deck, sika spruce, much mahogany, and cedar, fir. Unfortunately she is fiberglass sheathed and is delaminating. I am now 69 and don’t have the will for a restoration project.

Reina Moana is seriously for sale FOB Hawaii for $20,000, less than the salvage value of her machinery, mast etc.

1) Wings
Wings was owned by my husband, W. John McCormick of Honolulu, from the late 1970s until the mid-1980s when I think we put her into my name. Angleman ketch, 39 or 40 ft. I think the model is Sea Spirit. The boat’s previous name: Maria. When named Maria, she was owned by (Tim?) Gold on Maui. We sold Wings in 1990 to Don Rose in Honolulu.

2) Eolo
Eolo was owned by W. John McComick of Honolulu during most of the 1970s, before I knew him. I feel sure she was a wooden boat. Tim Gold acquired Eolo in the late 1970s in a swap for Maria/Wings. I believe Eolo was a 65 ft schooner.

3) Bernice
Bernice was owned by W. John McCormick, then of Toronto, in (I’m guessing here) the 1950s and 1960s. A large wooden boat built in the early 1900s, I believe. He sailed her on and across Lake Ontario.

Step back into 1880 and the heyday of the Bristol Channel Cutters. Spray is a restored 1958 interpretation of a Pilot Cutter known for their speed and seaworthiness on the English Channel.

Designed by renowned Pacific Coast Marine Architect William Garden, this Alaskan Yellow Cedar and Oak Vessel was stoutly rebuilt in 2003. She sports a new 26hp marine diesel engine for years of reliable and efficient service.

Take her out on brisk summer Days on S.F. Bay. Her infinitely adjustable Gaff Cutter Rig allow year round sailing both in the fury of San Francisco summer afternoon winds, and the relative calms of winter sailing.

Spray is known all over the Bay, especially for her unique “Halibut Schooner” stern. She is much admired and receives compliments everywhere she goes, be it summer picnics on Angel Island, quiet afternoon in Aquatic Park, high speed runs down the waterfront, or rafting up on the lazy fall days on the Petaluma River.

Spray is 35′ overall and 26′ 6″ on deck

She has an 8′ beam and draws 5′ of water

Sail Inventory Includes:
1 – Gaff main
2- Club footed foreSails
2- Jibs
2- Topsails
1- Genoa
1-Drifter

Engine:
Universal M25-XPB 3 cylinder 26hp diesel (under 30 hours)
Rebuilt Fuel Tank with EXTENSIVE fuel prefiltering
Hull:
Yellow Cedar (3/4″) on Oak + Fir Backbone
Reframed and refastened (bronze) in 2003 + new white oak floors and 5/8″ keelbolts

Spray’s interior remains bare such that all repairs described above may be readily inspected. Spray is maintained to be fully operational by a meticulous “hands-on” owner.

She is available for $29,000 $25,000 and is berthed in San Rafael, CA

If interested, please reply to this ad.  I will be notified automatically by e-mail and will contact you directly.

I am also interested in trading this boat for a Lyman 25′ or 26′ Cruisette/Sleeper/Offshore of similar value (with trailer).

Many thanks, Brian

Teak Construction with Cold Modeled Hull in the late 90′s at The Northwest School of Wooden Boat Building. During the restoration teak decks and the topside was designed and constructed by Master Shipwright Anchor Jensen of Jensen Motor Boat Company in Seattle.  Magnolia is the only teak deck Blanchard Junior made.

Sale includes sails, custom trailer for easy launching (in excellent condition), new 2hp Honda engine, and new full boat and mast cover.

Interested parties may contact the current owner, Captain Charlie DeWeese at cdeweese@sailaway.net or 360-305-0835. She is located in Seattle, Washington area and is available to be seen by appointment.

A true northwest classic

Optional:  Will deliver to the San Francisco area from Seattle for $250.

Boat is located in Steamboat Springs, Colorado and never been in the water.

A classic ketch with great potential. Asking $7,000 for boat, $2,000 for flat bed trailer.

Contact Charlie Fritz at chazfritz [at] yahoo.com or phone 970 971-9234.

• L.B.P. 14′ 9″
• L.W.L 14′ 1″
• Beam 4′ 7″
• Sail Area 120 sf ft.

She is designed along the lines of an 18th century revenue cutter.  Since the plans did not stipulate the running rigging or the finishing out of the interior I made numerous innovations including a fife rail cat heads and belaying pin rails. I made all of the blocks out of oak. The interior is oak strip (8mmX50mm) rubbed with pin tar and varnished. The frames are hard rock maple  approximately 21″ on center and the hull is marine plywood. I installed an electric trolling motor directly behind the keel and in front of the rudder. It is powered by two 12V Marine batteries installed under the seats on the port and starboard side.

I have included a few pictures but you can view the full series of construction photos on the JWBuilders2 site. Just go to http://groups.yahoo.com/group/jwbuilders2/. You may need to join the group to view the photos.  Look for the file Swiftsure. I believe it is on the second page.

I am asking $6,900 for Valhalla (Swiftsure). My wife thinks I own too many boats so I need to sell Valhalla before I can build another boat.

I found her treated poorly by her original owner. Since 1986 she has been in my garage, dry and well covered all the time. I have been told she is made of Norwegian Spruce. While there are small areas of dry rot and a few ribs should be replaced, she is still very sound. I have 95-98% all the parts including her production number stamped on a plaque. She is a gaff rigged sloop. I have the main and the jib sail and rowing oars 12′ long. She comes with the trailer.

I am asking $450 or best offer.

'Sioux' Canadian, Wooden Canoe (Circa 100 Years Old)

This item is a wooden canoe that I inherited from my father, (circa 15ft long by 3ft at the widest point), which I am led to believe was imported from Canada at the turn of the last century, (1905 is the date that I was told but I have no way of knowing whether that is correct – Im trying to contact the Canoe Museum in Peterborough, Canada to corroborate). My father bought it in Norwich in the 1950′s and christened it ‘Sioux.’

I don’t know what wood was used to make it but a friend believes that it might be cedar?

It was in the loft of a boathouse for 30 years where it dried out so much that it leaked. It was then transferred to a garage where it spent the next decade. I left it outside for the last 8 months and very recently (June 2009) floated it in the Thames for two weeks to see if the wood could be encouraged to swell/rehydrate but it hasn’t worked very well and some parts have got worse.

Needs a comprehensive refurbishment in my humble and inexpert opinion – which is where you might come in. It could become a thing of beauty once more given the right attention.

It’s pretty heavy so I’d advise that you would need a boat trailer to collect it, or two strong men and a robust roof-rack. I can barely lift it by myself.

I’m located in Thames Ditton, Surrey, England. There are lots of detailed photos showing the various areas that require attention so please email me if you would like me to send them to you.

Boat in San Diego slip.

‘Ala di Sabah’
an Angleman Sea Spirit, an Offshore Cruiser

Look closely, and you’ll see more in this ketch than a new high in Angleman design. There is magic in every inch of her 31″ length.
From Clipper bow to classic stern, the Sea Spirit radiates personality. Below, the beauty is breath taking. The cabin is paneled with selected, aged, hand-rubbed hardwoods. Cabinet work, beam scrollwork, round topped doors and turned stanchion posts and sea-rails combine ezquisite craftsmanship with excellent taste. And the space!
Clever use of every square foot of the wide-beam design results in an amazing amount of room below. Forward stateroom and head are fully enclosed. There’s headroom too, 6’3″ of it to delight your tall passengers.
Whether you view the Sea Spirit from above or below deck, you’ll agree that she deserves to be called a ship.
As for seaworthiness, one look at her flaring bow, high freeboard and heavy construction will show why the Angleman hull is so famous for its seakeeping ability.
An 11’3″ beam and 4000 pounds of outside lead ballast make for surprisingly stable and comfortable cruising. As a ‘little ship’ should, this one stores plenty of fuel and water for long voyages. Let a Sea Spirit make your sailing dreams come true. (this is a reprint of the Mystic Cove Marina comment from 1965, California, USA)

Wood Rose is currently in the water in Newport, Oregon.

Project boat ok, as my father and I will work on it in barn in Texas, where we can hoist a boat of that size. For a project boat, our budget could extend up to $2,500.00.

We are also interested in boats ready to sail, with a budget of not over $15,000 dollars. We have a trailer that could easily be adapted to a boat of that length and draft.

We are searching, like many others, for that veritable needle in a haystack. We are searching for a boat of historical significance, such as:  Herreshoff designs, Sparkman and Stephens designs, Alden, etc. We are searching for a nautical expression of American History, and will fly old Glory from her proudly.

Seeking qualified buyer to assume care of classic Sea Bird yawl, Duchess, a member of MMBA for many years and previously owned by John and Anne Tucker. 26 ft on deck and 33 ft overall, full keel, Marconi rig, inboard diesel auxiliary. Circa 1939 by Bowles at San Pedro Boat Works. Mahogany on fir with ply decks, wood spars. Recent Yanmar installation by List. Hauled out at Spaulding in July for bottom paint.

Contact John Coulson at 415 699-0837.

Thomas Fleming Day, the founder and editor of “Rudder” magazine, saw the need for a seaworthy sailboat that could be built by an intelligent amateur. Fleming together with the designer C.D. Mower published in 1901 the plans as a gaff rigged centerboard yawl. In 1904 they re published the plans of their conversion of the boat to a full keel.

The Duchess was owner built as a Marconi in 1939-1940 at the San Pedro Boat Works. The Sea Bird hard chine stands up well to the winds and swells of S.F. Bay

This boat is a traditional design, specifically for Windermere, England’s largest lake. Windermere is located in the region of Cumbria, in England’s famous Lake District. A popular holiday destination, it is famous for its lakes and its mountains (or fells), and its associations with the early 19th century poetry and writings of William Wordsworth and the Lake Poets, as well as Beatrix Potter.

Borwicks was based in a series of boathouses on Windermere. Borwicks built boats from the 1840′s until 30 years ago. Their boats were made in the hundreds for fishing and for hire on the lake, mainly of Lakeland Larch for 2 or 4 oars, occassionally larger for 6 oars. They had “pinned rollocks” and were therefore easy for beginners to row.

Length = 16′   Beam = 3’8″   Draft = 6″

Includes one set of oars.

Boat is located at the Spaulding Wooden Boat Center in Sausalito.

Serious offers will be considered.

Debit (left), with sistership, Credit (right) at the MMBA Antique Boatshow in 2006

Debit at her berth in Sausalito

Debit is more than just a boat. Its provenance and grace along with its impressive race record including the Transpac, the Los Angeles to Honolulu, and its stellar showing of the Class D top honors in the 1959 Honolulu race, puts this yacht into another category.

Along with  her sistership Credit, owned by Bill Belmont, Debit was a star in her day and still shines brightly, today.

However, it is time to pass the torch to a new steward. Debit is currently berthed in Sausalito, California and is in good shape. Her brightwork was just completed, her decks repainted, and her chrome sparkles. Her cabin boasts a warm and inviting feel as does her tiller.

She comes with a complete set of sails, including Spinnaker and a full dodger.

Her Yanmar diesel is strong. Her mast is aluminum, and her rigging is in great shape.

One of the conditions of sale is that her name, Debit, be protected and used on this documented vessel as it fits her demeanor, well.

Debit can be viewed at any time. Call for more photographs and history.

Asking price: $18,000.00 Price reduced: $8,000

Port Side View

20′x8′ barge houseboat design. 

1. The hull is complete and the fore and aft decks are on. 
2. The 2′x6′ runners are on and run from the bow to stern and are topped with 1/4″x2.5″ steel bar so the boat can take the ground safely. 
3. The hull, sides, bow, and stern are all double 1/2″ plywood covered with two layers of glass cloth and epoxy. 
4. The bottom has been painted with white two part epoxy paint. 
5. Included are seventeen 4′x8′ sheets of 5-ply mahogany marine plywood to complete the cabin: 6 sheets of 1/2″, 4 sheets of 1/4″, and 7 sheets of 7/16″. 
6. The trailer is custom built, heavy duty, dual axle.
7. Devlin’s plans and building sequence included.

You can see this design and Devlin’s comments at his website:http://www.devlinboat.com/milliehill.htm

This is not a flimsy homemade boat.  Devlin is known for solid over-built wooden boat designs, and this is no exception.  The hull is doubled 1/2″ ply, epoxy glued and sheathed in two layers of 7.5oz cloth & epoxy.  The stern is reinforced with Kevlar cloth.  This is where the outboard mount will hang and if mounted correctly, it isn’t falling off at an inopportune time!

I’m looking for an inexpensive, full-keeled, wooden-hulled sailboat of at least 30 ft in length with a decent sized cabin. I’m new to sailing, but I want to eventually liveaboard and do extensive bluewater sailing.

I took a detour to fiberglass boats for a little while and found them lacking. So I’m back to trying to find a wooden vessel.

So please let me know what you got! (415) 933-4209

This beautiful 60 ft. wood schooner is one of the best built ships of this type. Certificate is available from the designer. Recently overhauled and well maintained, she is in excellent condition. She is a very strong ship, a perfect live-aboard and ready to cruise.

Type: Shpountz 44-40

The Victory 1 might be better termed a launch. It was licensed for 200 people coast wise, which is a lot of people to take out in a flat bottom boat on the ocean.

A Frenchman built it in 1943 at the San Pedro Boathouse. During that era, they built a lot of these boats for water taxis. It was employed by the H-10 Water Taxi Company in San Pedro Harbor, Los Angeles. Up until 1973 it was used in San Diego Harbor to run between the foot of Market Street and Coronado Island.

Dimensions:

• Length: 63′
• Beam: 18.5′
• Draft: 4′
• Weight: 32 tons
• Material: Douglas Fir, Honduras Mahogany and Oak

Modifications and Improvements:

• New wheelhouse and engine compartment
• Mahogany windows and doors
• New steering and shift
• New exhaust and sound isolation for the GM 6-71 engine
• New head/shower and galley
• New decks, blocking, frame tops, gunwales and 2×8 Ironbark guards and cleats.

Few of this type of boat were saved from decay. This boat is large and open and would make a great live/work space. It is very stable. You will find the Victory 1 to be a reliable, unique vessel, and compared to a small condo, the asking price of $22,500 or best offer is a steal! Whether cruising on the Bay or making her your home, the Victory 1 is a special boat.

Price reduced to $12,500.

PRICE REDUCED
The Warden Johnston used to be a familiar sight to the citizens of San Francisco, having made 12 trips per day to the City and back to Alcatraz Island Federal Penitentiary from 1945 to 1961, 144,000 total. She brought all the personnel, prisoners and families on the island almost everything they needed. All inmates from 1945 to 1961 were transported on and off the island via the Warden Johnston, including such prisoners as Machine Gun Kelly and Robert Stroud, aka The Birdman of Alcatraz. Warden Johnston even ferried children on the first leg of their daily journey to school.

In 1963, Alcatraz was closed as a federal prison. For the next 35 years, the Sea Scouts used the boat to teach seamanship to teens.

Seattle naval architect L.H. Coolidge, best known for his wooden tugs, designed this boat. The Warden Johnston was previously certified by the U.S. Coast Guard and licensed for 60 passengers. The 60-ton vessel, which carries 750 gallons of fuel and 500 of water, was built of Douglas fir frames and planks. It’s basically a small ferry built on a tugboat hull—which made it stable and durable. The boat made crossings even on days when the Golden Gate Bridge was closed because of high winds.

The San Francisco Board of Supervisors passed a resolution in 2001 naming the Warden Johnston “a historic San Francisco maritime asset.” The World Ship Trust in London has placed the Warden Johnston on its international register of historic vessels.

Specifications

• Mahogany on Oak wood frames
• 29,5′ overall
• 9′ Beam
• 4’8″ Draft
• Glass over Ply decks
• Universal Atomic four engine

Designed by Ian Macgregor in 1937 built by Pacspar boatworks in SanPedro in 1947, Morningstar was nearly completely rebuilt by Berkeley Marine Center in the late 90′s including all new transom, rebuilt stem, new decks, all new house, several new planks, completely refastened, all new standing rigging, new stainless steel gas tank, and countless other small details. The former owner ran out of funds to complete the project and  she was stored at Berkeley Marine Center for the next five or six years. In December of last year I took over the project, first swelling her back up and recaulking her, next came assembly of the rig and overhauling the Atomic four and reinstalling it.  New sails were ordered from Pineapple Sails and Morninstar went for her first sail in many years in April of this year. I raced her in the annual Master Mariners Regatta in May and took second in her division.

I am currently reinstalling some of her interior and expect to have everything complete by early August. This is not a project boat however ther will be some things for her new caretaker to finish, she needs cushions and cabinet work in the main cabin completed, other than those items she is like new and shows well.  Morningstar took honorable mention (second place) at the Woodenboat show at he Corinthian Yacht Club this year.

Asking price is $25,000, completion of cabinet work in main cabin can be negotiated if the new owner desires.

36′ Sea Dawn Gaff Rigged Ketch For Sale – San Diego, California

Sea Dawn is 36-feet in length and 11 feet in width and is of the husky seagoing type intended for service on deep waters but just as suitable for sailing on Long Island Sound, the Great Lakes or any similar bodies of water. The ketch rig was used for obvious reasons. For short-handed cruising there has never been a better rig. In a short squall the mainsail can be let go with a rush and there will still be canvas enough to keep way on the boat. Below decks Sea Dawn is laid out to suit the desires of the average yachtsman. There are berths for four and a good toilet and galley. The latter is equipped with a sink, large freezer and one of the old-reliable Shipmate ranges.

THE 36-FOOTER SEA DAWN

by Daniel S. Crocker, Jr.

The auxiliary ketch Sea Dawn, was designed by the well-known Boston designer, S. S. Crocker, Jr. who has specialized for many years in the design of yachts of the cruising type.

Sea Dawn is 36-feet in length and 11 feet in width and is of the husky seagoing type intended for service on deep waters but just as suitable for sailing on Long Island Sound, the Great Lakes or any similar bodies of water. We have heard a great deal about the seaworthiness of centerboard boats and we have received so many letters in this regard that we have no excuses to make for the use of the board in Sea Dawn. She is not an extreme shallow draft craft for there is a fairly deep keel with a good deal of drag which should be sufficient to permit her to go to windward in shoal water with a fair amount of success. In deeper waters the board can be sent down to provide the maximum lateral plane area.

The ketch rig was used for obvious reasons. For short-handed cruising there has never been a better rig. In a short squall the mainsail can be let go with a rush and there will still be canvas enough to keep way on the boat. The average yawl has so small a mizzen that she will do nothing but bob up and down in the sea if the mainsail is taken off. The total area of canvas is low but quite sufficient for a cruising boat where comfort is the watchword and the crew is not pleased with the idea of jumping about every few minutes shifting sails. If there is any one item which can utterly spoil a good hull it is over-canvasing. Sea Dawn is fitted with a gaff-headed rig. Without a doubt many readers will think that they prefer the jibheaded, or Marconi, rig. Those who insist upon making this change are referred to the designer who no doubt will be quite willing to design a new sail plan, at his regular fee for such work. From the standpoint of THE RUDDER staff we urgently advise you to stick to the gaff rig. If Sea Dawn was intended for afternoon racing we would suggest a marconi rig but for ordinary cruising there has never been a better rig than the one shown.

Below decks Sea Dawn is laid out to suit the desires of the average yachtsman. There are berths for four and a good toilet and galley. The latter is equipped with a sink, ice-box and one of the old-reliable Shipmate ranges. We believe that many owners of this fine boat will feel that four is a crowd, and not company, in a boat of this size. A suggestion for such folks would be to make the saloon berths a little longer and to add a great deal to the locker space.

Built in San Diego by the famous Kettenburg family, Kachina, one of the last PCC’s ever built, was designed as a world class ocean racer. The construction is strictly Philippine mahogany over oak, and with new varnish on the mast and most of the topside, she is regaining her original beauty.

Dimensions: LOA: 46’4, Draft: 6′, Beam: 9’6, Ballast: 7000 Lead, Displacement: 18000, Engine: 25HP Diesel Kubota engine with 450 hours.

Accommodations:

6’5 Headroom with enclosed manual head with sink and storage, stereo system.

Galley equipment:

2- burner Kenyon propane stove with oven, pressure fresh water system, ice box,

Sails and Rigging:

Keel-stepped spruce spar, wire standing rigging, 1 Lewmar winch, 5 original bronze winches, 1 spinnaker in NEW condition, 5 jibs: ranging from 60-170.

Deck:

Fiberglass deck: white, 3 anchors (CQR and Danforth), Stanchions, lifelines, bow pulpit w/rails, fenders and dock lines, Life jackets, inflatable dinghy, Coast Guard safety package.

Electronics:

VHF Radio, Handheld VHF Radio (optional), handheld/mountable Garmin GPS (optional), compass,

Additional:

(3) Automatic and manual bilge pumps, Fresh water cooling system and fuel filters, Tiller steering, 3 fire extinguishers, jib boom, etc.

Recent survey available from March, 2008. Upgrades and renovations since survey:

New main and jib boom cover in dark blue to match upholstery, wire lifelines, unstepped mast to varnish, reseam, and replaced main and topping lift sheaves. Installed new wire – rope main halyard, and installed new wind vane.  New engine belt, fuel filter – fully inspected. Hauled boat to touch up bottom paint, replaced cutlass bearing, propeller stuffing box, leaking fasteners, recaulked and painted exposed planks. Varnished entire topside. Many small interior upgrades.

Additional work to be done before in perfect wooden boat magazine shape: touch up white corners for fiberglass, varnish under forward hatch, remove tape from under rails and possible repaint. Below water the hull is slightly paint sick and could probably use a new job next time it is hauled. Topside of haul is in better shape, but could also use some touching up. Aside from this and a little boat soap for the topside, the boat is in excellent condition.

Have been sailing her nearly every day in San Francisco. She is very sea worthy, and much quicker than anybody expects – with the lowest PHRF in the San Francisco Master Mariners group for ocean racers. She has treated me very well and I am disappointed to sell her, but as the financial market collapses, I must adapt. She is currently docked at Pier 39, and has a slip which can very easily be transferred. Please feel free to call with any questions, interest:

She was built in 1962 by Ern Farrington in the valley from William Atkin “Little Maid of Kent” plans and trucked to the sea. Sailed to South Pacific. Farrington’s wife became ill and he sold the boat when he returned to San Francisco. Talofa was in Sausalito for many years and was #13 Master Mariner.

With the beauty, strength and soul of a classic wooden boat, this John Alden ketch has sailed the Atlantic and Pacific Oceans, the Mediterranean and Caribbean Seas, and survived the Force 10 Fastnet storm of 1979 off the coast of Ireland.

Her retired skipper and owner, Capt. Cress Baxter, died recently, creating a rare opportunity for a new owner to restore and update this piece of sailing history. Built in Kennebunkport, Maine in 1961, Sea Era is currently berthed in the Columbia River near Portland, Oregon. Capt. Baxter felt certain that the spirit of John Alden lived on board Sea Era, and it may be so. But that’s a story for another time.

A recent survey lists her present value at $25,000, and her replacement value at $400,000.
