Description

You won't find another boat like this! She's a steel Bruce Bingham design built by the Howdy Bailey shipyard on the Chesapeake Bay. Bruce Bingham, respected artist and naval architect, designed iconic boats like the Trinka sailing dinghy and the Flicka 20. "Spirit" was a custom design, and combines rugged function with lovely lines. She has recently undergone a major refit, and her systems are updated and state-of-the-art. She features a queen berth in the aft cabin, a workshop, full engine access, deck space to accommodate outdoor living, and quality boatbuilding. This is a special boat, and part of a sailing legacy. Don't miss out. 

If you aren't familiar with steel boatbuilding, take a moment to research Howdy Bailey and the quality of his work. And Bruce Bingham's pencil gave this boat a somewhat whimsical look while being tough as nails! She even has a Trinka tender. Among her features are:

PS. Mr. Bingham was known for putting a cat and mouse in many of his drawings, usually so subtle you'd miss them on your first glance. See if you can find the cat and mouse in some of these photos.
