SUMATRA

Designed in 1938 by renowned naval architect C. Raymond Hunt, the Concordia Yawl is arguably the most successful large one-design wooden boat in history. Originally designed as a racing boat that could double as a cruiser, the Concordia Yawl has become something of a legend. The first four boats built in Massachusetts were followed by a partnership with Abeking and Rasmussen in Germany that resulted in another ninety nine boats [total 103] – all but two of which are in existence today. 

Concordia Yawl #76 SUMATRA was built in 1960.  She was substantially rebuilt by the Concordia Company in 1994 of South Dartmouth, MA after she was damaged in Hurricane Bob. The
project included new stern post, upper section of stem, transom, sheer planks, 25 topside planks, rudder, new margin planks, new plywood deck and cabin top cover in fiberglass, and new cockpit coamings and port lights.  At that time she recieved a new Westerbeke diesel engine, a new windlass, and all sea cocks were replaced.

All spars are varnished, sitka spruce.  The mizzen mast, both booms, all spreaders, mizzen jumpers and spinnaker pole were all replaced in 1994. The bronze and locust boom gallows and
all standing and running renewed, and Ocean size 2 traveler system for main sheet added .Jiffy reefing on mainsail with Lewmar #8 bronze winch. Schaefer roller furling on head sail.

In summary, SUMATRA is a wonderfully original Concordia Yawl, priced to sell and in sail-away condition.  She is located in Newport, RI and available for showings.
