Rare, one of a kind William Garden Custom Yawl This double-ended yawl will turn heads everywhere she sails! The center cockpit and aft cabin offer private accommodations, and her narrow beam and double-ended design afford exciting sailing characteristics and elegant aesthetics. Her restoration and cold molding were performed to the highest standards and she is ready for her next owner to steward her through the remaining work. This is a one of a kind classic yawl designed by the world-famous William Garden. There was a leak in one of the fuel tanks that remains to be repaired. The water and fuel tanks have been removed of course, but all are intact. There is a full complement of sails, cushions, etc. The hull has been faired with longboards. The work remaining on the boat is principally cosmetic. This multiple wooden boat owner is interested in all offers.
