52' Colvin Schooner Brigantine

I (the Broker) first became involved with One World nearly 20 years ago, when she was abandoned on land in Baltimore, MD, and purchased by my father as a voyaging vessel for our family.

In 2009, we carried out a bare-hull refit in Annapolis, transforming her into a fully outfitted, ocean-ready ship. I personally oversaw that work, carried out to the standards of strength, practicality, and self-reliance that Tom Colvin always advocated.

One World has had a remarkable life. Built of Corten Steel as designed by Tom Colvin, she embodies his philosophy of yachts that are practical, seaworthy, and built to carry families safely across oceanssimply and with absolute confidence and saftey. In her earlier years, sailing as Taya, she circumnavigated the globe.

A steel schooner like this teaches teamwork, self-reliance, and seamanship. She is relatable and interesting to people everywhere she sails, opening doors in harbors around the world.

Kids raised on a boat like this, or friends who share a voyage, will gain far more than they ever would lounging on the cushioned platforms of production catamarans. After all, who would trade a bowsprit net hammock or a cup of coffee aloft on a square-sail yard for just another set of cock
