Vagabundo , a classic Motor Sailor with a ketch sail plan, was designed by Walton Hubbard Jr. Co.  and Frederick C Brewer for Louis Cass.   She was built by South Coast Boat Building Co. in Newport Beach, California.  Louis Cass, an active boater, with his family took  Vagabundo  on many fishing trips to Catalina and Ensenada. During WWII,  Vagabundo  saw duty as a Coast Guard surveillance vessel and still wears her 7 chevrons proudly as authorized by the Secretary of the Navy.  

In 1968 Harold and Helen Ayres acquired  Vagabundo  from the Cass estate and immediately embarked on a complete renovation and modernization program. The latest in galley and electronic equipment were installed and she was restored to classic yacht condition.  As a result during the 1969 opening day yacht inspection at Newport Harbor Yacht Club,  Vagabundo  won first place for power boats more than 40 feet.  Don Culver assumed stewardship in 1976 and brought  Vagabundo  up the coast to Seattle. In 1994, the current owners undertook a multi-year program of restoration and modernization, again restoring her to classic yacht condition.  Now  Vagabundo  awaits her next caretakers.   Motivated seller wants this magnificent yacht sold this month!

1932 Custom Classic 76' Motor Yacht

Make Custom Classic

Model 76' Motor Yacht

Category Classics

1932 Custom Classic 76' Motor Yacht The NORWESTER is a unique offering -- a true one-of-a-kind, and for several reasons. She was built by a Massachusetts boat yard that was well-known for large, heavily built, hard working commercial boats. She was custom designed and constructed of the finest materials available. The instructions to the designer and the builder were to create a vessel that would be capable of travel in any ocean, in any weather. Consequently CHIRO was reportedly built to Lloyds of London standards. The yacht relocated to the west coast in 1937 and was later conscripted by the US Navy for coastal patrol during WWII. The current engines were installed subsequently. CHIRO was later purchased by John Wayne (yes, that John Wayne) and renamed the NORWESTER. She was extensively remodeled to meet his needs and it is that interior that remains today. NORWESTER can be used and enjoyed in a variety of ways -- as a classic private yacht that will provide exceptional pride-of-ownership, as a distinctive charter boat, or as a comfortable live-aboard. Or she would make a wonderful and attractive dockside B&B with great appeal. These boat details are subject to contract. Note: Offers on the asking price may be considered.

Classic yachts, boats parade Puget Sound for Bell Harbor Rendezvous

SEATTLE - Through rain or shine, more than 40 vintage boats were shown off at Seattle's waterfront this weekend.

The Bell Harbor Rendezvous put on a free classic boat show for families to explore and learn more about the legacy each vessel holds.

The Classic Yacht Association has organized the show for the last 27 years, featuring boats of all shapes and sizes. The show included everything from a 1906 lifeboat to a 1948 former salmon troller.

FOX 13 talked with Dan Bartlett, owner of a 1946 boat called "Holiday." On this Father's Day, Bartlett said his parents took him on his first trip in the Holiday when he was about seven years old. 

Bartlett now has two grown children of his own, and his son hopes to take over the Holiday one day and keep it in the family.

He says it's important to commemorate older vessels and the rich history they have to offer through special events like these.

"They're dying, you know," Bartlett said. "They're hard to maintain, if the maintenance gets away from you. It's important for the classic yachts association to get together and share the boats with the community."

Bartlett said he enjoys taking part in the classic show annually to interact with the families and share stories about the holiday with the community.

6 of the best classic yachts for sale

WESTWARD OF CLYNDER

Mcgruer yawl.

The McGruer-built yachts, like the 8-M cruiser-racers, are well known for their quality of build and versatility. This one is a bermudan yawl, built in 1959 (by McGruer of course, to a design by his own hand), and measures 43ft 4in (13.2m), which is enough to cruise with up to six berths.

The build is in mahogany and teak, and the commissioning owner back at the tail end of the 1950s, for added intrigue, was Archibald J Barr, grandson of the famous Charlie Barr, possibly… probably… the greatest yachtsman Britain has ever produced (he was Scottish).

Westward of Clynder was exhibited at the London Boat Show the year after her launch, to show the quality of her construction the pencil stroke of her architect.

The broker adds: “Very sturdy construction, easy to manoeuvre because of her split rigging; she is a good seaworthy in all weather conditions and at all speeds as well as very comfortable even in bad weather! Involved in many regattas, Westward of Clynder has always lived up to her reputation.

Lying: Hendaye, France Asking price: €75,000 Contact: bernard-gallay.com

Fastest wooden 12-M?

Chancegger was built for French ballpoint pen and cigarette lighter magnate Baron Marcel Bich and, says the broker, was often referred to as the fastest timber-built 12-M ever, but unfortunately never raced in the America’s Cup. Bich commissioned American designer Britton Chance Jr to design the boat and had it built in Switzerland by renowned shipbuilder Herman Egger using imported French craftsmen. Such was interest in the challenge in France that the French Navy donated to Bich the Honduras mahogany used in the hull (she’s triple-planked in the stuff).

Chance’s design was for a yacht with 30sqft less wetted area than any previous design and for the lightest 12-Metre to date. It was also the first yacht of that type to have the distinctive knuckle bow that every 12-M designer from then on copied.

Since the 1970 America’s Cup (it was used as the trial horse to France), Chancegger has had several owners and ended up in Australia. The current owner has restored and raced her over many years and has now just completed her last refit in Argentina.

“ Chancegger is superb and a true consideration for any owner looking to sail or properly race a true classic with pedigree” says the broker. With the biggest gathering of the 12-M class planned to take part in Barcelona this autumn to accompany the America’s Cup, the timing is pretty good too. Chancegger measures 62ft 9in (19.1m) on deck.

Lying: Brasil Asking price: $525,000 Contact: bernard-gallay.com

Naval pinnace

“ Atta Boy is a stunning and historic launch with an amazing naval history,” says broker Gillian Nahum. Hard to disagree. “I was impressed by the condition and beauty of this centenarian which has clearly been maintained in tip-top condition during its current ownership”, added Gillian. “It is not hard to imagine an Admiral being swept across a harbour at speed by a rating at the helm.”

The 30ft (9.1m) naval pinnace was built at the JW Brooke yard in Lowestoft in 1915 as one of a number of similar vessels ordered by the Admiralty. Her first duty was to serve Calliope at Chatham, then in 1919 she was sent to Rosyth as a tender to Royalist . According to the Brooke record she was sold in 1923.

A regular attendee at river events including the Thames Traditional Boat Festival , this remarkable launch also took its place at the Jubilee Pageant in 2012 and proudly flies the burgee which all participants were presented with prior to the event.

There is plenty of dry, below-decks stowage, but no sleeping arrangement that would be acceptable to a 21st-century owner. This is now purely a dayboat for the connoisseur. Gillian suggests that a canopy or pram hood would work well to provide all-weather boating.

Atta Boy has a “remarkable turn of speed” from her Rover V8 petrol engine, so could be suitable for use away from the temperate Thames. For a local owner she does have a current BSS (also required for the Norfolk Broads were she to return) as well as a current EA licence.

Lying: Upper Thames Asking price: £89,500 Contact: hscboats.co.uk

Canoe-sterned motor cruiser

“She was a beautiful design but a devil to build.” These were the words of 97-year-old Arthur Frazier when he stepped aboard a newly-restored Merita in 2019, a boat that he’d helped to build 83 years ago as an apprentice to the family boatyard… Frazier in 1936.

The 39ft (11m) Merita is built of pitch pine planks on oak frames as a private motor yacht, although much of the yard’s output was destined for the fishing industry. She’s notable for her pretty canoe stern, with a wheelhouse added in the 1960s.

The new millennium saw the addition of an external helm position, added during her thorough rebuild at Dennetts on the upper Thames, which has made her into a modern, comfortable vessel below decks. The hull, deck and cabin sides are still original.

She now sleeps six with one forward cabin, a master cabin at the stern, and a double berth and a spacious saloon with bunks. There is one heads with a shower. Everything on board is now electric thanks to a 4kVA generator and Merita comes with a new 74hp Sole diesel.

Nicholson time capsule

Stepping aboard the 55ft CE Nicholson yaw Patna for a chance nose around at the Barcelona Puig Regatta in 2015, courtesy of owner and restorer Greg Powlesland, was quite revealing: nothing else is quite like her, from the moment you descend into the cabin down a half-spiral companionway, the steps edged in intricate, original wrought iron.

The yacht is incredibly original inside and out, the subject of a five-year restoration between 2006 and 2010 under David Walkey and owners Greg and his wife Katie Fontana. She was even sporting cotton sails at that regatta.

Patna was built in 1920 of pitch pine planks on oak frames, and her entire history is known. She was conceived as a blend of racer and cruiser, and from 2014 to 2019, toured the regattas of the Mediterranean, winning the Concours d’Elegance at 2015’s Monaco Classic Week . She has been well looked after since her restoration.

Lying: UK Asking price: £750,000 Contact: sandemanyachtcompany.co.uk

Holman’s original yawl

People will always associate the English post-war designer Kim Holman with his popular little cabin sloops in the sub-30ft range; yachts like the Stella and Twister that were built in their hundreds. Holman also drew a number of lovely bermudan yawls in the 35-50ft range, starting with Rummer , his third design in 1957, and first of these larger yawls.

She was built at Whisstock’s for Holman himself a year later, in pitch pine planks on oak and iroko frames, at 35ft 1in (10.7m). Early racing success and excellent press that praised her easy short-handed manners, ensured that at least eight more ‘Rummers’ were built over the next decade or so.

This first Rummer won a handful of races, proving herself storm-worthy as well as handy and, with the wider ‘American-style’ beam, quite commodious for her time – berths for six and 6ft 3in (1.9m) headroom below decks.

Rummer was very recently the recipient of a serious restoration at Harbour Marine Services that ended in 2022, with over £100,000 spent. Due to unforeseen circumstances, the owners are now compelled to sell, providing the chance to own a very well-specced, newly-rebuilt yacht with good historical provenance, easy manners and good accommodation.
