Own a traditional steel schooner with ALL the modern luxuries! New twin diesel engines and brand new sails. YOU decide how and where you want to travel!
"Sir Creeper' turns heads. She is a custom 65' steel George Sutton-designed pilothouse schooner. Originally built in 1988 by Mark Treworgy, she was recently completely gutted and rebuilt by the well-known and highly respected Howdy Bailey Boatyard in Norfolk, VA. Her current owners spared no expense on the refit, spending over $900,000. Nearly every system was replaced, the hull sounded and reinforced and painted, and the interior was refinished with the utmost attention to luxurious detail.
With a 6.5' draft and 61' mast, "Sir Creeper" can cruise the IWC and Bahamas easily, but she's built to take you around the world. Her traditional rig is complemented by all new sails, and she has every modern convenience one could want.
You can own her for half of the cost of the refit! Recent survey available upon request.
