Description:

PRICE REDUCED! Built in 1938 by Casey Boatbuilding Company, Inc. Mandalay was designed for marine artist Frank Vining Smith. Smith is best known for his work “Sailing Towards Home.” We are reasonably sure that this is the original Mandalay, although the beam and waterline measurements are off by a few inches (this is likely the result of numerous restorations and refits over 72 years of boat life). Mandalay is pictured on page 374 of John G. Alden and His Yacht Designs. She is a cutter-rigged sloop, constructed of teak planking on white oak frames, and she is bronze fastened. Her original mast was wood, but she has been refitted with a 54’ Beneteau mast (aluminum). Her teak decks need some repair and refinish, mostly moisturizing and treatment after time spent in storage. She was totally wooded, above and below the waterline, in April of 2009. Repairs were made to horn timber, planking, and keelson. Some repairs are still necessary for a completely fair hull. Some areas of non-structural rot need to be addressed, but with the proper time and tlc should be resolved. Planking below the waterline was treated with Smith’s Clear Penetrating Epoxy, and primed with Petit Trinidad Pro antifouling product. Seems were reefed, but need additional reefing, cottoning, and caulking (cotton supply included with sale). All deck hardware is solid bronze, including antique stanchions and portholes. Full keel with cast iron ballast. Mast, standing, and running rigging in good condition. Sheets, lines, sails, cushions, and canvas have been stored indoors. She is currently in storage in Indiantown, Florida (dismasted, with engine block pulled and peripherals stored). She is very truckable, and easy to move. This vessel is a beautiful boat, and a testament to the time tested expertise of John Alden. She handles perfectly, and balances on a pin. She has been a good racer, an amazingly solid cruiser. She should be a dreamboat for a new owner with the time and resources to devote to her, full of history and classic beauty.
