This boat was immaculate - absolutely pristine condition, and hands-down my favorite.

Sally

This 10-meter yacht was one of 14 nearly identical vessels commissioned by a group of gentlemen from the New York Yacht Club in 1928. Built in Northern Germany, she and her sister-ships were brought by steamship to Nova Scotia, and then sailed to the United States. Sally is one of only two that remain in existence.

Colnett

The 42’ cruiser was built in 1924, and designed to be used mostly as a fishing vessel. The flybridge was added later, at some point after WWII. This was my favorite boat last year. It’s beautiful.

Spirit of Dana Point

Originally named The Pilgrim of Newport, this 118’ traditionally built replica of a 1770’s privateer schooner was the dream of one man - Dennis Holland, who started constructing the boat in his backyard, May 12, 1970.
And I remember it! When I was a kid, his property was just behind where we lived at the time! It was magical. Like watching a full-size “pirate ship” come to life!
The boat, now renamed, serves as a teaching platform in Dana Point.

Tansy Lee

31’ Bristol Channel Cutter, built in 1987 by Anderson & Anderson, with much history surrounding it. It reminded me quite a bit of my first sailboat, a 20’ Pacific Seacraft Flicka.

Grand Banks 32

This boat wasn’t in the show. But the GB32 is a boat I love. My father had them, and I had them. Classic trawler design. Beautifully crafted inside and out. A gem.
