This beautiful vessel is in need of steel repair to the keel and re-commissioning. This is an extensive project that is looking for the right do-it-yourself boat buyer. The specific problem with the keel is that the concrete inside the keel has cracked allowing water to penetrate into the lower keel causing the rust. The majority of the hull is sound. The boat has also been sitting on the hard for 7 years and all systems will need to be re-commissioned. Offers Encouraged!
This is a truly one-of-a-kind vessel! No expense was spared in creating this unique blue water sailboat. Literally a million dollars was spent in the construction and outfitting. Sturdy steel construction, double ender, cutter rigged flush deck schooner. From the interior's custom-designed carpentry utilizing rare and precious hardwoods to the spacious accommodations, you owe yourself the opportunity to take a closer look at this beauty! Built for comfort and style while cruising the high seas! Six years in the building, this custom-built, one-owner boat will surely turn heads whether at sea or at dock. Don't pass up the chance to tour this one.... She comes complete with everything from a comprehensive medical kit to all charts and flags for the Caribbean. Take a close look at her extensive inventory! British registry.

Tremendous thought and planning was used in the design and layout of the interior. With 3 cabins (main, owner, crew) 3 heads and 2 showers, she sleeps six comfortably. As you step down the companionway you will find a generous galley to port and head to stbd. Hold on to the beautifully crafted wooden handrail as you step down to the spacious U shaped dining area with ash paneling and inlaid ash and brazilian purpleheart oval table. The nav Station is beside an L-shaped settee with another beautifully inlaid ash and purpleheart coffee table. Both sitting areas are elevated from the main red oak flooring by ash platforms for added comfort. Continue forward to the mster cabin and writing desk area. "Crew" quarters forward features 2 upper berths, one lower berth and a workbench which leads to the 3rd head and then chain locker. | |

This remarkable double ended steel schooner was designed by the late J. Murray Watts in the early 1950's. Made from 3/16" mild steel top sides. The keel bottom (shoe) is 1" plate steel with 1/2" sides. The bottom of the hull is 1/4" mild steel. Originally designed as a seagoing gaff schooner, the sail plan was revised to a Bermudan Schooner rig stepped on deck for easier handling. Johnson Sails of St. Petersburg, FL designed and built the rig. Marine Woodwork & Services of St. Augustine, FL built the hull and completed the interior and commissioning. Upholstery by Gina Buell. Steve Buell, the electrical consultant, both also from St. Augustine, FL. The original boat plan was for John Bailey of Marine City, Michigan. He built his boat and used her extensively in southern waters with perfect satisfaction. He says the design is fast and seakindly. Delivery of the "Mary Norma" was in October of 1997 in Bermuda. Her maiden voyage was to St. Augustine, Florida and then up to New York. She has sailed for many years throughtout the Caribbean to Trindad and Venesuela and returned to Fort Pierce, Florida. She is currently on the hard waiting for a new owner to re-commission her and enjoy the many valuable features of this seakindly and luxurious vessel. |
