Title: Fish Class - POMPANO
Post by: Steve on August 27, 2009, 04:23:35 PM

POMPANO, one of the first group of Fish delivered to the Seawanhaka Corinthian Yacht Club in 1916, is being offered for sale.  She is located in Quissett, MA, with an asking price of $4000 OBO.  I can connect interested parties with the owner.

She has been out of the water for several years, but has been stored in a barn with a dirt floor.  She has had some minor modifications, so work would be required should a new owner wish her to be "authentic".  I don't know what it would take to get her sailing again, but I'm sure that work is required.

Is this boat still for sale?

No, POMPANO is no longer available.  She has been taken over by a boat builder who is restoring her on Cape Cod.  When finished, he will be keeping her on Nantucket. 

I know of 3 other Fish-class boats that are available, if you are interested.

Glad to hear she has gone to a good home. Do you know what she sold for?

Yes, I am interested in finding out more on the other boats you mentioned. If you would like you can send the info to me at coastalxinc@optonline.net

To the best of my knowledge, yes they are.  Two are for sale as part of a restoration commission with the builder/owner.  One was restored a couple years back and is in good shape.  Can you tell me a little more about what you are looking for ... info@herreshoffregistry.org

Fish are great boats - somehow they haven't gotten the attention that the other small classes have.
