1967 33' custom meadowlark

The owner-builder of this pristine example of L. Francis Herreshoff’s ideal shoal draft cruiser recently had the boat completely restored. She was taken down to the bare hull, which is Dynel-epoxy sheathed strip planked mahogany in perfect condition. Other than the hull and rig everything was rebuilt and then all new motor, systems, interior cabinetry, wiring, etc. were installed. The quality of materials and craftsmanship are superb. The deck, cabin, and cockpit are dynel sheathed marine ply and all exterior wood trim is teak. The cumbersome leeboards have been replaced with aluminum bilge keels along with an improved modified rudder which together still allow for a very shallow draft of only 22” making the boat an ideal choice for a fall cruise down the ICW. The 30 hp Yanmar has only 190 hours and pushes the boat at 6 1/2 knots and sips fuel at about 1/2 gallon an hour making for very economical cruising under power. The large 4x5 ft. companionway allows full standing headroom in the galley area under the protection of a new custom made bimini top. The aluminum spars, hull topsides, deck, cabin, and cockpit are awlgripped for low maintenance and durability. Priced at a fraction of the restoration cost the boat is turnkey and ready to go.
