Summary:
Used 1954
Location:
Coatham Mundeville
Description:
JOSEPHINE's sheer is elegant and the coach house wonderfully proportioned. Her large birdpit - typical of many American yachts of the 1950s - is comfortable and spacious. In comparison with English yachts of this era, JOSEPHINE has broader beam, making for a hull of considerable initial stability and offsetting the effect of the comparatively shallow draft - this also offers impressive accommodation for her length. Under her current ownership JOSEPHINE has wintered inside and ashore and is looked after by Traditional Shipwright Services, Poole, UK – she remains much loved but her owner has switched to a wooden motor yacht for his grandchildren and is a motivated seller. Built in 1954 to a design by one of America's leading yacht designers of the period Philip Rhodes; JOSEPHINE is of particular interest as a shoal draft yacht with a 5 ½ ft draft that increases to 8 ½ ft with the centre board lowered – and a superb example of Rhodes’ centre board hull. Seven sister ships were built and originally as JANE DORE IV this yacht was designed for the Commodore of the Cruising Club of America. He and all the other owners reported their yachts to be very fast, comfortable and seaworthy. Discovering JOSEPHINE on Long Island in September 1999, a more recent former owner bought and moved her to the Gannon and Benjamin yard on Martha's Vineyard, where she underwent an extensive structural rebuild. JOSEPHINE has undergone a continual program of investment, improvement and maintenance to a high standard by specialist shipwrights. - Carvel Burma teak planking - White oak centre line and frames - Burma teak deck - Bronze fastenings - Bronze centre board and trunk casing - Conventional long keel displacement hull form with a lead ballast keel - Rudder hung to the full depth of the vessel - Burma teak superstructure and all deck joinery Sloop rig with forestay options - Painted aluminium mast and Sitka spruce boom - All stainless steel new standing rigging 2000 -.
