Major price reduction makes this Robin Fung-built 44' Porpoise an incredible value for the discerning buyer. Must see to appreciate!
The 44' Porpoise is a classic William Garden design that was built by Robin Fung and was featured in Arthur Beiser's 1st Edition of The Proper Yacht. She is truly one of the ultimate planked wooden-hulled vessels built out of 1 3/8" planks of clear teak over Ipol (an exotic hardwood with great strength) frames and fastened with bronze rivets. Porpoises built of lesser woods cannot be compared to a teak Garden ketch built by Robin Fung's Yard prior to 1972.
Corinna has been meticulously maintained by the same knowledgeable owner for the last 33 years and she is a joy to view. If you are a discriminating sailor who appreciates history, quality and fine sailing capabilities, then Corinna could be your next yacht!
