First owned by Steele Griswold - former owner of Shelburne Shipyard - Mame is a classic Sparkman & Stephens custom Tartan-41. The hull and deck were ordered unfinished from Tartan Marine and delivered to the Shelburne Shipyard where the interior and teak toe rail were installed to Mr. Griswolds specifications.
The Tartan 41 was designed by S&S at the request of Charlie Britton, founder of Tartan Marine, Co., who was eager to produce a boat to compete with the new Nautor Swans. Both were designed by S&S and are almost identical versions of the famous racing sloop Morning Cloud commissioned by Sir Edward Heath.
Midway through her racing career Steel Griswold, an engineer by training, hired S&S to oversee the modification of the hull and rudder. The original skeg and rudder were removed, and a new spade rudder was installed about a foot further aft. The underbody and keel were completely faired with a finer entry forward. The mast is a custom tall rig double spreader with Navtec rod rigging and hydraulics.
The boat was repowered, and a teak cockpit installed by the second owner complete with Harken electric winches and Raymarine electronics as well as Harken roller furling, windlass, and anchor bow roller.
Mame has always been stored and professionally maintained to the highest standard by the Shelburne Shipyard. She is now located at the Shennecosset Yacht Club, Groton, CT. |
