Summary:
Used 1947
Location:
Alabaster, AL
Description:
Olin J. Stephens is said to have described COURAGEOUS as a cross between a New York 32 and an International 8-Metre; who are we to argue. This entrancing and fabulously authentic yacht does indeed have all the good looks and attributes of the legendary NY32s - stretched to the length of an 8-Metre. Her large, exceptionally comfortable and deep (and therefore safe) birdpit confirms her origins as Arthur J. Iselin’s Long Island Sound daysailer, but her spacious yet intimate accommodation and undoubted sailing ability and provenance hint of more ambitious cruising possibilities. And COURAGEOUS’s offshore racing past and recent form in classic regattas confirms her as the most beautiful all-rounder. " COURAGEOUS is a true classic sailing yacht, designed by Sparkman & Stephens of New York City and built by the Henry B. Nevins Inc. yacht builders on City Island in the Bronx. City Island was the apogee of fine yacht building in the United States in the days of wooden yacht construction. COURAGEOUS is a time capsule of the art form, with all of her hardware built in the US, and she has been maintained extremely well by the few owners she has had in her lifetime. With her classic hull lines and traditional layout of V-berth forward with head compartment to port and main salon amidships, she is elegantly finished in varnished hardwoods and white paint. COURAGEOUS is not only a fully functional sailing yacht, she is also in some respects a museum piece of fine American yacht design and building, meant to be passed on from the current knowledgeable and appreciative owner to the next; someone who will treat her with the same respect that has been shown her since she was first launched. " SPARKMAN & STEPHENS DESIGN No. 642 COURAGEOUS began life as Arthur J. Iselin’s Long Island Sound day/ weekend cruiser-racer out of New Rochelle, New York; one of the last yachts launched at Henry B. Nevis's famed City Island yard during his lifetime. Contrary.
