TIN TIN is a custom boat fitted with the best equipment available and ready to race or cruise offshore. Her previous owner undertook a massive and comprehensive open checkbook refit/rebuild at Warren Pond Boatworks, Maine, from 2/2009-6/2011 and which then continued at Dutch Wharf, Branford, CT, during winter 2012/2013. During this refit, nothing was left untouched. All electrical, plumbing, mechanical, heating, refrigeration, lighting, sanitation, electronics, pulpits and stanchions, sail inventory, rig rigging, winches, hardware, exterior teak and cosmetics were replaced. She was stripped down to bare hull and her entire interior gutted and a custom "wooden yacht interior" installed. Her refit process was thoroughly documented. She is set up for short-handed or crewed competitive racing with her tall carbon rig and impressive sail inventory. She has an impeccable McCurdy Rhodes/Paul Luke pedigree. Those who view her will not only be impressed by her pristine condition, but will recognize her as a near sistership to the famous ocean racer, CARINA. Commissioned in1970 shortly after CARINA, she is 18" shorter with a similar waterline but fitted out to be more easily raced or cruised short-handed and in greater comfort. Her IRC, OOR and PHRF ratings make her highly competitive.
COMMENTS FROM FORMER CREW MEMBER (1971-1975) WES OLIVER - WHEN VESSEL WAS NAMED "ZEST": "I crewed aboard Zest from when she was new in 1971 until her owner, Irving Pratt died in 1975. I lost track of her in the early 80's and so am pleased to find your current listing. I found these 2 photos by Norman Fortier in my collection and thought you might enjoy them. Note "triple slotting" (tall boy staysail + genoa staysail). I think in Buzzard's Bay, maybe on a NYYC cruise in 1974?
I did the 1972 and 1974 Bermuda Races in her with her designer, Jim McCurdy as my watch captain. '72 was a tough race (blew over 50 k for 18 hours!). I'd sail anywhere in that boat! The refit makes her look a lot less "industrial" than the boat I knew."
