Bone Yard
Boats features
FREE BOATS in nearly every issue -- actually I
can't think of an issue without FREE BOATS.
This is not a complete list of FREE
boats.
FREE TO THE RIGHT HOME --1919 MATHIS TRUMPY 52'
Owner's daughter says, "The owner of the Grand Lady just passed away last
summer. I have a very limited amount of time to find this boat a home
before she too slips away. I am asking you for help because I have
limited contacts and knowledge of boats. This historic Trumpy needs the
support of the maritime community NOW."

DESIGN SAILBOAT
FREE
1929 ATLANTIC ONE DESIGN. Owner says, “My hopes of
restoring the sloop at this time are not positive, so I would like to

Connecticut where he had raced it...I believe at out of Cedar Point
Yacht Club in Westport. I actually spoke to a man named Olsen who had
known the previous owner and had raced on her. By his account, she was
very fast and handled well in weather. He assured me that it was a wet
ride..."
