Built from the 1920s to 1970s, Trumpy yachts are a study in elegance, grace and amazing sea keeping abilities. Their sleek profile, crisp hull design and finely polished wood detailing exude luxury and leisure.

Although more than 400 were built, each Trumpy was meticulously handcrafted to the owner’s specifications. While every Trumpy is unique, the boats have a signature look and always the essential Trumpy embellishment: carved wood scrollwork on the bow that, on close inspection, incorporates a capital T. In their heyday, the boats were de rigueur for members of the aristocracy, among them aviation pioneer Howard Hughes, the Chrysler family and the Duponts.

The most famous Trumpy motor yacht is the 104' presidential yacht THE SEQUOIA lanched in 1925. Her little sister JENNY CLARK follows in her big sister's footsteps as an example of an ultimate "DREAM YACHT"

JENNY CLARK was originally launched as ARIES in 1962. She is a semi-displacement Modified V hull with a flat bottom and a gorgeous flared bow. Her hull was originally double planked mahogany over white oak ribs and frames. Her massive keel is white oak. In 1988, the owner at the time took her to THE MERRITT BOAT COMPANY OF POMPANO to have her hull fiber glassed after a sufficient amount of time was spent on the hard drying out. Over the years she has had many upgrades and stringent maintenance programs. Her most recent major refit was between 2016- 2018 when she underwent a 1 million dollar refit at the legendary MOORES MARINE in Beaufort NC. To say that she had just about every nook and cranny inspected and replaced as needed is an understatement. All new ribs, frames, knees, wiring, plumbing, electrical, mechanical with the exception of the main engines, windows, decks etc. She was rebuilt to her original hull specifications and then fiber glassed from the water line down. She also received many very cool upgrades such as a water jet drive stern thruster and a Side Power bow thruster making her very easy to maneuver. She was essentially new when launched in 2018 after nearly 2 years in a shed. Her top sides were gleaming with the new Awl Grip and her electronics were state of the art.

Since 2018, she has been living in Beaufort SC. Walking up to JENNY CLARK your heart does start to beat faster. Her graceful lines are so eye appealing. But she is in need of another minor refit with regards to her topsides.
