Overview
Here is a great chance to own a piece of sailing history. MONGOLIA is
one of the few remaining Victory Class sloops designed by William
Gardner and built by Henry Nevins in 1920. Pampered by her last two
owners, she is stored inside and ready to go.
Construction
Built by the Henry Nevins Yard in City Island, NY out of steam bent, oak
frames with cedar planking, MONGOLIA has been very well maintained.
Her keel was dropped and rebedded after the deadwood and keel timber
were redressed, and the keel boats inspected (they were as new). A new
rudder was installed and the hull glassed and faired on the outside from
the cove strip down over the lead keel joint before the hull was
repainted. The interior and bilge area were cleaned and painted. The
cockpit floor was replaced and seats supports refurbished. A new, longer
tiller was also added.
Spars and Riging
Wooden mast and boom were stripped and varnish built up. The leather was
replaced on stay loops and wooden blocks and all running rigging
replaced. There a six winches to ease of sail handling. The sails were
replaced.
Power
The is an outboard on a removable, bronze bracket on the transom.
