 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.SIR TOM’s exterior finish shows some age, but when you look below, all of her frames, planking, floor timbers, etc., are bare wood, and could pass for ten years old. Some first rate restoration work was done in the 1970s by Fred Cousins in Noank, CT, and she appears to be very sound.
She’s 33′ on deck and carries an impressive gaff sloop rig. She’d be a wonderful daysailer, has room for the occasional overnighting, and could easily be fitted with an inboard engine. She would also be right at home in a museum, with all bronze hardware, a canvas-sheathed deck, and beautifully antiqued oak trim.Imagine the pride, to look out and see this beautiful classic floating at your mooring, patiently awaiting your hand on the tiller. SIR TOM needs a new home, so give us a call and together we’ll make it happen. |
