Currituck“ is for sale.
46‘ Sparkman & Stephens, Nevins, Centerboard Sloop
Year: 1958
Design Nr: 1367
This one of a kind yacht, originally named “Currituck”, was designed especially for a personal acquaintance of Olin and Rod Stephens, and co-member of New York Yacht Club. She was built at the noble address of Nevins Yacht Yard on City Island, New York, with the personal involvement of both brothers.
With heavy hearts we will part with this beautiful yacht, which we sailed under the name “Manatee”, and which was our home for years. Our life has taken a direction in which she no longer has a place. While cruising in the Cape Verde Islands we decided to settle in one of the most beautiful anchorages we had visited. What began as the construction of a house for us and for a few guests turned into a small resort and has become our livelihood. (Please see www.MarTranquilidade.com ) Over the years we slowly realized that our plan, to put the building project on hold for awhile and continue cruising, had lost momentum and would never come to be. For too long “Manatee” collected barnacles at anchor here in the bay; now she is collecting dust in dry dock on the neighboring island. It is time for her to continue her destiny in new hands.
