This storied 1980 Dyer ââ?¬Ë?Flush deckââ?¬â?¢ is truly one of a kind!Ã? MaruffaÃ? is shipshape and in Bristol condition having been lovingly restored by its present owner.
The Dyer 29ââ?¬â?¢s Flush Deck (Bass Boat) sleek lines are timeless in their appeal.Ã? Ã? The sailboat-style cabin finished in Herreshoff-style white tongue and groove paneling is both timeless, and conveys the ââ?¬Ë?spirit of traditionââ?¬â?¢ style the ownerââ?¬â?¢s desired; both elegant and sophisticated. The vessel also includes an enclosed head, galley and twin V-berth; perfect for a cruising couple or family.Ã? The open cockpit is large enough to accommodate multiple guests for a harbor cruise with sit down space for dining. Whether fishing or picnicking, the Dyer 29 Flush Deck is the cleanest looking model of the legendary Dyer 29-series. Since the first vessel was commissioned (1955), the Dyer-29 lays claim to the longest running production hull.Ã?Â
The present owner purchasedÃ? MaruffaÃ? as a couple, and the vessel grew with their family (3-children and dog), and today is truly considered part of their family.Ã? MaruffaÃ? has cruised throughout New England and more recently Northern California and isÃ? now back home at The Anchorage (Dyer Boats).Ã?Â
This vessel has been maintained and restored with an open checkbook (no expense sparred), while paying homage to its remarkable history, and its first owner (grandson of Henry Babson, who commissioned the first Philip Rhodes-designedÃ? Maruffa, a 67ââ?¬â?¢ yawl, built in 1935, Pendleton Shipyard in Wiscasset, Maine).Ã?Â
The originalÃ? Maruffaââ?¬â?¢s racing dossier was, and is, impressive, including the Chicago-Mackinaw, Newport-Bermuda, Swiftsure Series (Pacific Northwest); and Swiftsure Triple Crown, Traspac Race. John ââ?¬Ë?Jackââ?¬â?¢ Graham was the 2ndÃ? custodian ofÃ? MaruffaÃ? (2-time Seattle YC Commodore, and world-renowned architect). The last owner ofÃ? MaruffaÃ? was Katherine ââ?¬Ë?Kitââ?¬â?¢ Green (22), heir to the Kodak fortune. Sadly,Ã? MaruffaÃ? was lost on the rocks on the east coast of the south island of New Zealand in 1979 on a moonless evening.Ã?Â
