Restoration
-
Come From Away
Come From Away is a 1956 Shepard Utility Model discovered in the Free Boats section of WoodenBoat Magazine. In 2023, Brooklin Boat Yard restored this beautiful powerboat with the help of the new owner.
-
Djinn
Originally designed by Sparkman & Stephens and built in 1965 by Minneford Yacht Yard for Commodore Henry Morgan of the New York Yacht Club, Djinn was thoroughly restored by Brooklin Boat Yard between 2021 and 2023.
-
Vixen
Vixen is a 1937 Knuds Reimer 15’ square meter built by Oscar Schelin at Kungsors Boat Yard in Sweden and restored by Brooklin Boat Yard in 2011.
-
Mischief
In 2011, work began on what was originally thought to be a thorough refit on Mischief, a S Boat that had been a fixture at Center Harbor for many years. The refit turned into a complete restoration.
-
Katrinka
Designed by Bill Tripp Sr. in 1969 and built by Bristol Yacht Company in Bristol, Rhode Island, Katrinka led a storied life until 2008 when she was found in a boatyard in Rockland, Maine, by a BBY client who was looking for a “just right” boat. She was one of the first fiberglass restorations completed at Brooklin Boat Yard.
-
Aphrodite
Aphrodite was built by the Purdy Boat Company, Port Washington, NY, and launched in May of 1937 for Wall Street financier and later Ambassador to the Court of St. James, John Hay (Jock) Whitney of Manhasset, Long Island. After sinking, Brooklin Boat Yard completed a “shadow restoration” as Brian Larkin calls it, in which we restored everything but her shadow.
-
Enticer
Always maintained to the high standards Enticer has received refits throughout her life, but the most thorough by far took place in 2001 & 2002 at Brooklin Boat Yard during which more than two million dollars were spent to bring the yacht to her current “concourse” condition. Although based in Newport, RI, Enticer cruises between New England, the Chesapeake, South Florida and the Bahamas.
AVAILABLE RESTORATIONS
Experience more than a custom-build by bringing back a piece of history.
Hope was the personal raceboat of John Alden, the famous yacht designer. She is available for restoration and located at Brooklin Boat Yard.
“It was so much fun. If I were ten years younger, I’d apply for a job there.”
