Summary

GALATEA is a true sailor’s sailboat.  Distinctively designed by L. Francis Herreshoff, and built by Molly’s Cove Boat Works, this vessel combines both traditional and modern boat building methods to produce a practical and gracious cruising vessel.  Designed to maximize space and to provide total cruising comfort for four people, GALATEA’S interior provides stowage and great access to all the gear typically used for classic cruising.  To the old salt, GALATEA is reminiscent of the famed TICONDEROGA, but more modern with a composite FRP/cored hull.  She exudes style, class and a distinctive excellence.  Continually improved by her current owner of 28 years, GALATEA’S refit details are extensive, making her one of the most unique classics available for purchase today.
