Description
Update 7/28/2025: Boat must be sold due to seller health. Major price reduction. Don't let this opportunity pass you by.
Sea Forth was designed by Naval architect Hugh Angelman, and intended for world cruising. Built by American Marine in Hong Kong, the same yard that had built many Grand Banks trawlers.
The extreme quality of her original construction and materials, including solid teak hull and planking, contributes to her longevity. Most wood boats were marine ply or other inferior woods. This one is solid teak.
Add meticulous care and maintenance by wood-boat enthusiasts, and you have a classic yacht specimen that attracts attention, interest and appreciation.
lovingly maintained by a successful local artist, who's also known for his mastery of wood.
Sea Forth is not just some old interesting boat, she's a show stopper, and elegant throughout the entirety of the yacht. The owners' long-term particular attention permeates the whole vessel, with lovely varnish, stylish upholstery, polished bronze, and even the bilges are spotless and look new.
Sea Forth turns heads whether she is underway, anchored, or participating in boat parades.
She was chosen for the movie "Overboard" in 1978, starring Angie Dickinson and Cliff Robertson, for the parts filmed in Tahiti.
This is a true world cruiser.
