As many of you already know, I have a weak spot for these little Whirlwinds. Every now and then I stumble across one and find myself writing a check before my brain can say no. But after about 5 of them I have learned to at least slow down. BUT… This little 1961 14 footer has me twitching. This thing is perfect. It is bone original and does not show any signs of abuse. I spoke with the seller who is selling it for a friend. It was the friends fathers who passed away. Always garage kept and well taken care off. The set up is perfect. A 40 hp on that boat is PERFECT and it is the PERFECT motor.

It has the cut down windshield…ahhhhhhhhhhhh and its priced right… actually very right, about $1,000 under value. It’s listed poorly, and only has 500 views, so it’s one of those odd eBay deals that you get to talk about at the show… For me posting this is a sort of therapy to say let it go…..But…For gods sake one of you please buy this boat and put me out of my misery. PLEEEASE. I do not want to drive down to Florida this weekend. Dammmmmmmm … Click here and save me..

This multiple wooden boat owner is interested in all offers. The work remaining on the boat is principally cosmetic. The hull has been faired with longboards. There is a full complement of sails, cushions, etc. The water and fuel tanks have been removed of course, but all are intact. There was a leak in one of the fuel tanks that remains to be repaired. This is a one of a kind classic yawl designed by the world-famous William Garden. 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 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. Stock #005752 Rare, one of a kind William Garden Custom Yawl ***April 2020 Update*** The Palmer M60 engine is almost completely installed. The cockpit seats are being removed to install the fuel tanks and replace some cabin bulkheads. ***MARCH 2020*** The decks on the 45' yawl WHIRLWIND are now being refinished. Old caulk reefed out, loose screws replaced, missing bungs replaced, sanded, new caulking and the deck is completely oiled. It should be completely finished by the end of the first week of March 2020. ***UPDATE AUGUST 26, 2018*** New Photos of Whirlwind have been added to the gallery. A few at the top of the gallery and the rest at the bottom. The Masts are in place and the engine has been placed into the engine compartment. It's not set or operational yet.

Work will continue unless you're looking for a fantastic boat for you to experience putting the finishing touches on her. *** UPDATE JULY 5, 2018*** Whirlwind was splashed on July 3rd. Photos are in the gallery. The Majority of the photos were taken July 3, 2018. The last 2 photos in the gallery are what she used to look like.
