This is the famous "BOLD," one of only 20 third generation McCurdy and Rhodes designed MK1 Tillotson Pearson Yachts built for the Naval Academy in Annapolis Maryland. These vessels were built for constant offshore sailing for twenty years of use training US Naval Officers in their required offshore sailing training. The third fleet was retired and sold at auction when the 4th fleet was launched, also McCurdy and Rhodes designed and also built by Tillotson Pearson to US military design parameters. These are probably the most rugged and graceful fiberglass cruising yachts ever constructed in the history of yachtbuilding. Go Figure. I'm not sure how many millions of dollars of US taxpayer money was spent to build and equip each hull, but you can imagine that no expense or detail was spared. This one was purchased pretty much in exactly the same condition that it is for sale now after it was de-commissioned by the US Navy along with the other 23 sisterships. It sold at the time for $55,000. She is spartan as she floats now, but it could be turned into an incredibly durable and graceful global cruiser with a bit of new owner love and adding a few more of the comforts of home. The motor is good, serviced regularly by the US Navy but the galley stove and toilet and two primary winches were removed prior to government auction. Otherwise the boat is ready to sail with a few new lines, fresh batteries and a new starter etc. Priced this month only at the incredible opportunity price of only $37,000. Owner financing might possibly be available with $10,000 deposit. |
