BROKER’S COMMENTS When asked about the restoration of this yacht in 2004, Olin Stephens’ views were polite but firm…..The great man had spoken and the ‘lead keel up’ restoration of TOMAHAWK carried out by Brian Pope and the Ocean Yacht Company would adhere to the original drawings – the result is spectacular. Much of the original fabric of the boat was in poor condition and was painstakingly replaced with great care, generosity and quality – the aim was to end up with a usable family cruising boat, not just a timeless classic It is possible that the yacht’s lines were inspired by the New York 32, a design Stephens drew at the request of the New York Yacht Club; they wanted seaworthiness, grace and speed. TOMAHAWK has all of these and she is harmonious in every line and would rest easily on the eye of a yachtsman from any era. HISTORY TOMAHAWK was designed by Sparkman & Stephens as an ocean racer in 1938; the preliminary drafting carried out mainly by Gilbert Wyland, who worked closely with Olin Stephens. The vessel was built by Carl E Kistler for Dr. Thomas Heffernan at Barrett Boat Works in Spring Lake, Michigan. TOMAHAWK was well built of mahogany over oak, bronze fastened and diagonally strapped with teak interior and teak deck – she is not dissimilar to the Olin Stephen’s designed New York 32s in quality, shape and size: 48ft 3in (14.7m) to their 45ft 4in (13.2m) LOA, 11ft 2in (3.4m) to their 10ft 7in (3.2m) beam, 7ft 5in (2.3m) to their 6ft 6in (2m) draught, but with shorter overhangs. TOMAHAWK did race – achieving 5th in class in the 1947 Annapolis to Newport race, then owned by Paul H Wyatt, and went on to have a long history of good results – she was owned privately and also cruised for much of her life. Nearly 60 years after the boat was built, and having passed through the hands of a number of owners, the yawl had fallen on hard times. The current owner purchased TOMAHAWK from the boat builder who had the vision to see the yacht still had the potential to be restored to her former glory. The complete restoration was carried out at the Ocean yacht Company, Penpol, Cornwall. All her frames, most of her planking needed to be replaced, but her coach roof, spars, horn timber, stem, stern, rudder, bronze knees and deck fittings were reused. Since re launch the yacht has completed an Atlantic crossing in just over 16 days and competed in various classic events including the Antigua Classics Week.
