This 57' ketch is an icon of American yachting.

Designed by L. Francis Herreshoff, arguably America's most famous and respected naval architect, the Tioga & Bounty ketches remain timeless classics.

Covey Island Boatworks has an international reputation for building high quality classic ocean going sailing yachts.

The combination of the two has produced a vessel that will be a joy to sail aboard and doubtlessly turn heads and win trophies for decades to come.

This is a rare vessel. Her hull offers the best of both worlds: built with 40' clear, vertical grain Douglas Fir on American White Oak - exceptional materials probably no longer obtainable - she has the charm and feel of a true classic. Yet, due to her epoxy composite construction and Awl Grip finish her maintenance requirements are comparable to a modern fiberglass vessel.

Her rig and hydraulically operated centre board give her a flexibility that will carry her across oceans or around the buoys with surprising speed and simplicity.
