SEA PUP is a classic 1937 catboat designed and built by Manuel Swartz Roberts of Edgartown, Martha’s Vineyard. Originally built for L. B. Bedell, one of the owners/founders of the Little Brown publishing company, SEA PUP was used as a launch from Edgartown to Wood Hole. SEA PUP has been under the same caring ownership for the last 30 years. Restored below the waterline in the early 1980s, SEA PUP underwent a comprehensive restoration by Vern Mowrey of the Yacht Shop during the 2007/08 and 2008/09 winters. SEA PUP was re-launched in August 2009 and has been used lightly since then. SEA PUP has been stored indoors each winter. SEA PUP is constructed of long leaf yellow pine over oak frames. She is fastened with bronze and has a mix of bronze and stainless steel hardware, much of it original. She is trimmed in mohagany and fir in the cabin and cockpit. Having been built for use as a launch, SEA PUP has a particularly spacious cockpit, measuring 10′ 2” by 8′ 6”. She will comfortably carry twelve or more people. She would make a a wonderful family day boat and will attract attention in any harbor.   The asking price has just been significantly reduced to $19,500 for a quick sale.
