BOLDWATER

Description
Built in 1940 by the Casey Boat Building Company (Fairhaven, MA) BOLDWATER saw extensive professional restoration work and up grades in 1985 and has been continued to be extremely well cared for since that time.
BOLDWATER's owners have spent decades aboard making open ocean passages, coastal cruising, living aboard full time and now cruising and living aboard here in Mane during the summer months.
Much as they would like to stay aboard forever they have made the decision to move ashore full time and hope that new stewards can be found to continue the BOLDWATER legacy.
BOLDWATER is an exceptional opportunity for anyone looking for a classic cruiser capable of self-sufficient life on the water at a price that really can't be matched.

Full Details
Hull Construction
BOLDWATER’s underwater configuration is best described as traditional with full fore-foot, full keel and keel hung rudder.
The original hull construction by Casey Boat Building Company (Fairhaven, MA) was traditional plank-on-frame construction with mahogany planking over white oak frames, backbone and other structural members.
As a part of a major restoration / refit at Zimmerman Marine (Cardinal, VA) in 1985 the entire hull was wooded and faired, (2) two layers of western red cedar veneers and a single (1) exterior layer of 8 oz. fiberglass cloth were applied (set in epoxy) to the hull exterior. This new cold-molded hull exterior was faired again (long-boarded), primed and a finish coat of Awlgrip paint was applied.
The result of this restoration / refit work is a hull that is dry, stronger than when originally built and with an exterior finish that is as good as (or better than) any other boat of any age or construction type.
Deck, Cabin and Cockpit
Pine decks over white oak deck beams and cabin carlins.
Original decks, cabin tops, and cockpit sole and joinery overlaid with marine plywood and covered with two (2) layers of 10 oz. fibreglass cloth set in epoxy.
Decks, cabin and cockpit finished with Awlgrip paint.
Interior Layout and Accomodations
Comfortable cruising accommodations for two with option for two more when needed. The interior spaces of BOLDWATER are very nicely finished off in the Herreshoff style of white painted bulkheads, interior cabin sides and joinery fronts accented by varnished mahogany trim, drawer fronts and table along with varnished mahogany and pine overheads. The white paint of this style makes for a very bright interior and this brightness is enhanced by numerous sources of natural light and ventilation such as bronze opening ports along the cabin sides and the opening overhead hatches in the main saloon and forward sleeping cabin.
Interior spaces on BOLDWATER are accessed by way of the companionway ladder from deck on center line. Access to engine room behind companionway ladder and galley counters. Galley areas to port and starboard of companionway ladder

John joined Brooklin Boat Yard in 2004. Using his expertise and experience in used boat brokerage sales he established a successful used boat brokerage operation. Also, in 2004 John started the development of a racing program for the Brooklin Boat Yard built 76’ Spirit of Tradition Goshawk resulting in podium finishes in the 2005 Marblehead to Halifax Race, the 2006 Newport to Bermuda Race and equally impressive performances in classic yacht regattas here in Maine and Southern New England.
John continues to race in local mixed fleet races and Classic Yacht Regattas mostly on boats built by Brooklin Boat Yard and notably as “the world’s oldest bowman” on the Brooklin Boat Yard built Eggemoggin 47 Lynnette from 2013 to 2021 and occasional guest appearances on sister-ship Lark.
Today, John continues to manage and expand the brokerage operation but can just as likely be seen out in the yard or on the water helping the rigging and yard crews in the busy Spring and Fall launching and hauling seasons.
