56' 1934 Pilothouse Motorsailer William Hand Jr

** THE ORIGINAL LISTING AGENT IS JOHN KAISER of Yacht View Brokerage **

Description:
GUILDIVE has had an impressive history starting with her build on Coney Island, NY at the Wheeler Shipyard in 1934, originally given the name RESTLESS. She was built to William Hand Jr.'s design who is recognized as one of the most respected yacht designer of the 20th century. She was first under the ownership of a well known politician and businessman from Long Island. She spent much of her early life in the waters of Long Island, New York Harbor, and New Jersey. After a few owners she was taken into the WWII coastal picket force and used as a patrol vessel along the New Jersey and Long Island shores. A few pieces from that time are still shown on the boat. She returned to private ownership and was taken to Marblehead. After her time in New England she was sold and brought to the Caribbean. The owners were one of the first people in the Caribbean to offer charters in the U.S. Virgin Islands. Many of her past guests and crew still remember her down there. Sold in 1980, an extensive 8 year refit in Puerto Rico was completed and they continued to own her for a total of 30 years. The vessel, at that time, cruised the coast of the United States and Canada and was well outfitted for cruising and double handed sailing. Presently GUILDIVE is used as a day and overnight charter business along the east coast ranging from the Chesapeake Bay to the Penobscot Bay, Maine.
