Artisan Boatworks maintains a database that tracks the location and availability of prestigious wooden yachts of all types in need of restoration. Despite popular myth, it is always less expensive to restore an original yacht than to build the same yacht anew. Whether restoring a current family heirloom, or working with us to locate a boat that will become one, Artisan Boatworks has the experience and knowledge to breathe new life into historic yachts while preserving their historic value.
 PEGASUS |
PEGASUS is a “Downeast 42” built by Frank Sample, Inc. in Boothbay Harbor, ME, in 1963. The original advertisement from Yachting magazine claims she is “Built in Maine to ‘Take It’”. She will require a significant rebuild, but her backbone and mahogany planking appear to be in exceptional condition, as does her varnished mahogany interior. |
 SCULPIN |
SCULPIN, an original 21’ Herreshoff Fish Class sloop that’s listed in the Herreshoff records as SQUID (hull #816), was delivered to the Seawanhaka Yacht Club in Oyster Bay, Long Island, for a Franklin Remington in April of 1916. READ MORE ABOUT SCULPIN. |
 SIR TOM |
For those of you who love antique boats, SIR TOM is rare find. She was designed by BB Crowninshield and built in 1919. When she was recently uncovered in an old storage building just north of here in Belfast it was as if she had been forgotten by time itself. |
