Overview

"Sea Tabby" has enjoyed remarkably good stewardship by her current owners of 28 years, and her previous long time owner. It's quite rare to find such an "in tact" Classic yacht as "Sea Tabby" that has not been molested by multiple owners. She is indeed a well maintained, well used, beautifully rebuilt vintage yacht that employs modern techniques in her robust, renewed hull structure. Take a step back in time aboard "Sea Tabby" with the security and knowledge that she is not a fragile antiquity, but rather a sturdy family cruiser that can be serviced on a typical boat yard Travel-Lift. Come see her and experience a bygone era of yachting.
