1916 Wooden Catboat Entirely Rebuilt by Shipwright from 2010-2014

ONSET BAY, MA, USA, June 17, 2016 /EINPresswire.com/ -- Like New After 100 Years: The "Sea Rover" has been sailing in Babylon YC Regattas and the waters of Great South Bay since the year 1916. Built in Connecticut 100 years ago as a seagoing yacht, it has recently been 100% professionally rebuilt by a professional Shipwright and master craftsman, from 2010 until 2014. Her rebuild included many maintenance saving re-construction modernizations.

Extraordinary 100% Rebuild:
Great care was taken to preserve this truly classic cruising cat. The Sabb diesel features a keel cooler (900 hrs), variable pitch prop and optional hand start. Extremely reliable and efficient (10nm/gal @ hull speed). Vessel is dialed in and loves a 20 knot breeze. Her distinctive flared bow and "V" hull give her strong, smooth windward characteristics unusual for a catboat. She is a capable offshore vessel, truly sensational sailing and comfortable in heavy offshore conditions, while she is also nimble around the club. “Sea Rover” is greeted with interest and awe at every port of call. Currently sailing between Martha's Vineyard, the Westport River and Onset Bay, MA.
