1965TrumpyCruiser

MINNOW was originally built for a former Commodore of the New York Yacht Club. She was well know for having been one of the fastest Trumpy Cruisers of her era. She has been lovingly maintained and updated by her present owner who has added some very nice custom details.  The entire interior of the yacht has been recently painted and varnished.  This is the only Flush Deck 50’ Trumpy ever built.  She has been repowered with modern Cat diesels, has had numerous updates of equipment, and is a showpiece for the deserving buyer.  She is in stunning condition.
