    Reminds me of FREDERICKSTADT, classic small expedition yacht. As I remember it, a very deep draft though.

    Indeed, great link and interesting story.
    Hoping to find pictures of bridge, interior and engine room.

    If I sell the house, boats, cars and the dog, and put wifey to work, maybe I could afford her..:cool:

    Nice and sturdy looking vessel for sure, probably Dutch?
    I am however drawn to the 60’s softer lines, grew up in Norway in the 60’s with father, uncles, grand fathers etc working on ships and fishing boats, that there style is kind of in the blood.
    (Let me see, how much can I get for the dog?)

    That is some refit. What does thin mean, in donation?
    SINDBAD is currently in donation, with 40% of the purchase price due at closing. The remaining 60% is financed for three years with no interest due.

    Sounds like a fancy (and wrong) way of saying For sale unless the ship was donated to an organization which is now selling it. Maybe it's a local Down East expression. Beautiful ship.

    Many places you can't get to with that draft...

    But, if you can navigate your waters of choice given the dimensions, perhaps it's a heck of a buy. She's a beauty in the pictures...

    Classless and rude.
    I've had the pleasure of having a vessel out of Baltimore dock next to me at City Dock Annapolis ( ego alley) named Wet Dream ... Also in Phila area "Aquaholic" and "Ship Happens".

    Rock Hall Md a crab boat named "Lil Puss" along with a dark silhouette of a female in an unsavory pose next to the name.

    Ha, speaking of boat names, a sailboat next to us in St. Thomas: “Passing Wind”
    Seen on the New River in Fort Lauderdale, big boat: “Lucky Sperm” :rolleyes:
    Not much class there either..
