An Historic Mathis-Trumpy Yacht Makes Her Daring Return

The 1920s Freedom is restored to her original splendor, recalling the lavish era of classic motor yachts.

She must have been irresistible. What wasn’t to adore along the 104 feet of this regal watercraft? To Jessie Woolworth Donahue, daughter of retail magnate F.W. Woolworth and then one of prewar America’s wealthiest women, the vessel was indeed perfect. A slender beam ideal for gliding the intracoastal waters surrounding her Palm Beach house. A plumb bow that rose straight up from the waterline like the aquiline forehead of an aristocrat. A divinely proportioned counter stern with an elliptical fantail that curved gently up and aft with the grace of a ballerina’s gesture. Bronze scrollwork that glowed in the sun. A low, sturdy stack nestled alongside one heaven-reaching, raked mast. Behind, the romance of sail. Ahead, the power and promise of engines.

And within, the ultimate expression of how one lived: a trio of expansive double staterooms (plus one single), three baths, lounging and dining saloons (with mahogany walls, beams, and deckhouse), and interiors decorated in grand style by famed retailer Wanamaker (the decor alone was advertised to have cost $30,000). Irresistible.

Wealth. Opulence. Assurance. And perhaps most symbolically, a signal of one’s freedom to roam from enclave to enclave, from season to season, in high luxury. Sold, then, was the 1926 Mathis-Trumpy Freedom to Donahue. She was, of course, a member of the Gilded Age class that commissioned or acquired yachts with the same alacrity they built mansions and seized the goldenmost layer of the American dream.

“In these days, newly minted millionaires had their list of things to acquire, to check the box to be a proper millionaire,” says Earl McMillen III, a Newport, Rhode Island–based yacht restorer and de facto historian of the period. “You’d have a house in Palm Beach, Newport, or Bar Harbor in the summer,” he continues, “a shooting plantation in South Carolina or Georgia, and on that list was a proper yacht. It was a lifestyle that everyone saw.”

This maritime striving, according to author Ross MacTaggart, spawned a century’s worth of high-profile boats. The wave began in 1830, he notes, with an Englishman who commissioned the first known motor yacht: the steam-driven Menai, complete with paddle wheels that made her look like a hybrid of a submarine and a Mississippi riverboat.

While the design may have seemed maladroit, the outcome was profound: “For the first time,” MacTaggart writes in his book Millionaires, Mansions, and Motor Yachts, “an individual could control his or her vessel’s schedule.” No waiting for tides, currents, winds. And while the late 1800s saw the addition of luxury rail travel, the promise was more confined than the private yacht: “A millionaire still had to accept the fact that trains went where they could, not where you wanted,” MacTaggart writes. “What was the point of being a millionaire if one could not do whatever one wanted, whenever and wherever? And comfortably?”

Yachting's Gilded Giants

As the 20th century opened, and as industrialists and other millionaires like Cornelius Vanderbilt, J.P. Morgan, their offspring, and rising nouveau riche joined the elite rosters, naval architects strove to create vessels that matched those aspirations. Private motor yachts diversified: some built for ocean-going explorations, others—like Freedom— for cruising protected waters along the Eastern seaboard, and others still for speedy commuting from one’s estate, say, on Long Island to the New York Yacht Club’s dock at 26th Street on the East River. The costs to build these crafts (in the millions of dollars at the time), not to mention maintain them—all the way down the ledger to stylish nautical dress for every crew member—were monumental.

“If you have to ask how much a yacht costs, you can’t afford one.” -Attributed to J.P. Morgan

And in the 1920s, many agree the form reached its design apogee. Designers like Jonah Trumpy were working at the peak of their craft, creating silhouettes of grace and proportion that carved their way elegantly through water and spaces throughout that matched those of mansions and country homes on land. It was a bright era that was snuffed out nearly entirely by the combined economic effects of the imposition of income tax in 1914 and the Depression thereafter, not to mention the rise in the use of automobiles, the improvement of roads, and finally, the new promise of air travel. As happens to all empires, the glory days of the great private yacht were closing.

But for McMillen, there were survivors to be found, restored, and relaunched. “If they’re lost, they’re lost forever,” he says, recounting how Freedom, in fact, nearly suffered that fate. From the hands of Mrs. Donahue, the houseboat (Trumpy’s term for his class of luxury yachts, whose interiors were emulations of all the comforts of home) had been sold in 1939 to a real estate developer in Florida who renamed her Sunset to promote his own Sunset Islands development near Miami. A succession of Florida owners followed, but by 2001, the craft was languishing in a warehouse in Jacksonville and slated for demolition. McMillen learned of the boat’s grim, looming fate from MacTaggart and moved quickly. He bought her for one hundred dollars and undertook the near-Herculean process to move her up the coast to his facilities in the greater Newport area (one of the nation’s centers of boatbuilding and restoration) and to raise the funds—$7.5 million—to restore her. In May of 2009, rebuilt painstakingly plank by plank, the yacht returned to service, thanks to a creative fractional ownership syndicate assembled by McMillen, and took her original name back. In 2010, Freedom won the World Superyacht Best Rebuilt award in London. “It’s the Oscars of the yachting industry,” McMillen says.

It’s no wonder. Brought back lovingly in full splendor, Freedom represents the very finest expression of the age and its aspirations. “Freedom was the most refined and finest-looking of the boats that [Trumpy] built,” he says. “The joinery, the details, the hardware…everything about her is sort of perfect in my opinion.”

McMillen laments a turn away from that balance and proportion among this generation’s newly minted billionaires. “Everything I see today, it’s glitzy and shiny and big, but you lose me there,” he says. “In my opinion, the billionaire of today is most interested in building bigger. They’ve lost sight of how to build a beautiful boat.”

“These wooden boats are organic,” he says, returning to the crafts he loves like family. “You get a sense that they’re a living, breathing organism. They have almost a human-like attachment. There’s something about going to sea on a wooden boat.”

One might almost consider it irresistible.

The Enticer a Trumpy Yacht

How does the other half lives on  The Enticer a Trumpy Yacht.  The following is a guest post by Mark Allen of South Jersey Marina.  

Given the fact that Cape May city is famous for its plethora of classic and unique Bed and Breakfasts (B&B’s), the Enticer, tied up tight to South Jersey Marina’s “Face” dock seemed to be a perfect fit for this oldest of all seaside resorts. Dockmaster Tom told me that the Captain was having breakfast at the Saltwater Cafe, so I ducked in and introduced myself. It turns out that the Captain, Greg Newport, (yes, like Cape May’s Yankee twin) is a big fan of Schellengers Landing and South Jersey Marina here on the Other Side. He graciously invited me to come aboard and tour Enticer a little later in the day. Aaron, South Jersey’s new Tournament Director, said he would tag along with his camera.

With all mahogany uppers, Enticer is as distinctive a yacht as you’ll ever see and she turns heads wherever she travels. Once aboard, you would not be wrong if you described her a s a seagoing luxury B&B. Designed by the legendary John Trumpy, and built in 1935 by the Mathis Yacht Building Company at their Camden, New Jersey yard, Enticer is a remarkably fit and beautiful 80 year-old. With a flat double planked wood hull, she is a lean 85’ long with a 16’ beam and a draft of only 4’, a combination which enables her to access most port-o-calls. A brace of reliable and sturdy John Deere Turbo Diesels move her along at a steady 10-12 knots, rarely faster and rarely slower, according to Captain Newport.

Electrical power is delivered by a pair of generators, a Northern Lights 20kw generator paired with a Kohler 32kw unit. Her flared stern and flat bottom conspire to suggest roll issues but Enticer’s state-of-the-art Seakeeper M21000 Gyro stabilizer keeps her “even keel,” steady and solid in most sea states and her customers comfortable and happy. Reliable, steady and beautiful are the key describers of Enticer.

Even with the Seakeeper, Captain Newport picks his navigation routes carefully. “She’s still a lakes, bay and sound boat,” he explains. “We stick with the Intercoastal and avoid going offshore whenever possible. In fact, we only ran in here to get out of the weather and re-provision. Wednesday’s weather looks good, so that’s when we’ll make the offshore run to New York. Besides,” he adds, “I like coming here.”

Pointing over toward Yacht Avenue’s boathouse row, he continued, “Just look at this. It’s beautiful here; Cape May is a quaint town and everything we need or want is nearby. The marina has the fuel, plenty of side-to dockage, deep water and a great ships store.” Pointing across the street towards Lucky Bones, then sweeping his hand back towards the Lobster House, he added, “There are bars for the crew, nice restaurants for the owners, stores and shops, John the Barber nearby and even an urgent care just across the bridge. And everything is a short walk away. Cape May is a perfect port-o-call.”

Thanks John, I’ll send you additional tidbits about the Other Side.

The Enticer is indeed beautiful. I was the live aboard first mate on her in the early’80’s and I am trying to locate my captain, Capt. John Reader(?). Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.

Full Details

ENTICER, Contract #228, was the 1st of two Mathis-Trumpy’s commission by Chicago Meatpacking Millionaire Mr. Joseph M. Cudahy who christened her as INNISFAIL.  The yacht sailed seasonally between his homes in Chicago, IL and Palm Beach FL until Mr. Cudahy took delivery of his 2nd Mathis-Trumpy  in 1939.  She was then sold and became (in correct order) SEA CALL, VADU, VARIETY, MINERVA and finally ENTICER.

In 2002, ENTICER had a significant refit by the capable hands at Brooklin Boatyard in Maine.  She was structurally rebuilt and many of her systems renewed.  In 2006, she came into the care of McMillen Yachts in Newport, RI who have since, leading up to her most recent refit in 2015, spent in excess of 2 million dollars to bring her to her current “concourse” condition. ENTICER now sails seasonally, every other year, between New England, the Chesapeake and South Florida / Bahamas.  She is fully crewed and impeccably maintained.

Sleeps 8 in the owner’s party in 4 staterooms consisting of 3 Queens and 1 Twin.  Two of the cabins have their own private heads and two cabins share a head.  (Please view attached layout)  Generous lounging spaces can be found throughout the yacht with dining capability for 8 accommodated on the fantail, boat deck and in the dining saloon.

1935, 85' Enticer leaving Chesapeake Harbour Marina. Probably around 1998-9. At the time she owned by the Independence Seaport Museum of Philadelphia. Operated by Capt. Rick and his wife. I did day work and crewed some cruises on her for 2 summers.

Yacht Specs

An Historic Mathis-Trumpy Yacht Makes Her Daring Return

The 1920s Freedom is restored to her original splendor, recalling the lavish era of classic motor yachts.

She must have been irresistible. What wasn’t to adore along the 104 feet of this regal watercraft? To Jessie Woolworth Donahue, daughter of retail magnate F.W. Woolworth and then one of prewar America’s wealthiest women, the vessel was indeed perfect. A slender beam ideal for gliding the intracoastal waters surrounding her Palm Beach house. A plumb bow that rose straight up from the waterline like the aquiline forehead of an aristocrat. A divinely proportioned counter stern with an elliptical fantail that curved gently up and aft with the grace of a ballerina’s gesture. Bronze scrollwork that glowed in the sun. A low, sturdy stack nestled alongside one heaven-reaching, raked mast. Behind, the romance of sail. Ahead, the power and promise of engines.

And within, the ultimate expression of how one lived: a trio of expansive double staterooms (plus one single), three baths, lounging and dining saloons (with mahogany walls, beams, and deckhouse), and interiors decorated in grand style by famed retailer Wanamaker (the decor alone was advertised to have cost $30,000). Irresistible.

Wealth. Opulence. Assurance. And perhaps most symbolically, a signal of one’s freedom to roam from enclave to enclave, from season to season, in high luxury. Sold, then, was the 1926 Mathis-Trumpy Freedom to Donahue. She was, of course, a member of the Gilded Age class that commissioned or acquired yachts with the same alacrity they built mansions and seized the goldenmost layer of the American dream.

“In these days, newly minted millionaires had their list of things to acquire, to check the box to be a proper millionaire,” says Earl McMillen III, a Newport, Rhode Island–based yacht restorer and de facto historian of the period. “You’d have a house in Palm Beach, Newport, or Bar Harbor in the summer,” he continues, “a shooting plantation in South Carolina or Georgia, and on that list was a proper yacht. It was a lifestyle that everyone saw.”

This maritime striving, according to author Ross MacTaggart, spawned a century’s worth of high-profile boats. The wave began in 1830, he notes, with an Englishman who commissioned the first known motor yacht: the steam-driven Menai, complete with paddle wheels that made her look like a hybrid of a submarine and a Mississippi riverboat.

While the design may have seemed maladroit, the outcome was profound: “For the first time,” MacTaggart writes in his book Millionaires, Mansions, and Motor Yachts, “an individual could control his or her vessel’s schedule.” No waiting for tides, currents, winds. And while the late 1800s saw the addition of luxury rail travel, the promise was more confined than the private yacht: “A millionaire still had to accept the fact that trains went where they could, not where you wanted,” MacTaggart writes. “What was the point of being a millionaire if one could not do whatever one wanted, whenever and wherever? And comfortably?”

Yachting's Gilded Giants

As the 20th century opened, and as industrialists and other millionaires like Cornelius Vanderbilt, J.P. Morgan, their offspring, and rising nouveau riche joined the elite rosters, naval architects strove to create vessels that matched those aspirations. Private motor yachts diversified: some built for ocean-going explorations, others—like Freedom— for cruising protected waters along the Eastern seaboard, and others still for speedy commuting from one’s estate, say, on Long Island to the New York Yacht Club’s dock at 26th Street on the East River. The costs to build these crafts (in the millions of dollars at the time), not to mention maintain them—all the way down the ledger to stylish nautical dress for every crew member—were monumental.

.css-bow7dq{margin:0rem;font-size:1.625rem;line-height:1.2;font-family:BodoniBold,BodoniBold-roboto,BodoniBold-local,Georgia,Serif;color:#0A0736;text-transform:lowercase;}@media(max-width: 48rem){.css-bow7dq{font-size:2rem;line-height:1.1;}}@media(min-width: 48rem){.css-bow7dq{font-size:2.375rem;line-height:1.1;}}@media(min-width: 64rem){.css-bow7dq{font-size:2.375rem;line-height:1.1;}}.css-bow7dq em,.css-bow7dq i{font-style:italic;font-family:inherit;}.css-bow7dq b,.css-bow7dq strong{font-family:inherit;font-weight:bold;} “If you have to ask how much a yacht costs, you can’t afford one.” -Attributed to J.P. Morgan

And in the 1920s, many agree the form reached its design apogee. Designers like Jonah Trumpy were working at the peak of their craft, creating silhouettes of grace and proportion that carved their way elegantly through water and spaces throughout that matched those of mansions and country homes on land. It was a bright era that was snuffed out nearly entirely by the combined economic effects of the imposition of income tax in 1914 and the Depression thereafter, not to mention the rise in the use of automobiles, the improvement of roads, and finally, the new promise of air travel. As happens to all empires, the glory days of the great private yacht were closing.

But for McMillen, there were survivors to be found, restored, and relaunched. “If they’re lost, they’re lost forever,” he says, recounting how Freedom, in fact, nearly suffered that fate. From the hands of Mrs. Donahue, the houseboat (Trumpy’s term for his class of luxury yachts, whose interiors were emulations of all the comforts of home) had been sold in 1939 to a real estate developer in Florida who renamed her Sunset to promote his own Sunset Islands development near Miami. A succession of Florida owners followed, but by 2001, the craft was languishing in a warehouse in Jacksonville and slated for demolition. McMillen learned of the boat’s grim, looming fate from MacTaggart and moved quickly. He bought her for one hundred dollars and undertook the near-Herculean process to move her up the coast to his facilities in the greater Newport area (one of the nation’s centers of boatbuilding and restoration) and to raise the funds—$7.5 million—to restore her. In May of 2009, rebuilt painstakingly plank by plank, the yacht returned to service, thanks to a creative fractional ownership syndicate assembled by McMillen, and took her original name back. In 2010, Freedom won the World Superyacht Best Rebuilt award in London. “It’s the Oscars of the yachting industry,” McMillen says.

It’s no wonder. Brought back lovingly in full splendor, Freedom represents the very finest expression of the age and its aspirations. “Freedom was the most refined and finest-looking of the boats that [Trumpy] built,” he says. “The joinery, the details, the hardware…everything about her is sort of perfect in my opinion.”

McMillen laments a turn away from that balance and proportion among this generation’s newly minted billionaires. “Everything I see today, it’s glitzy and shiny and big, but you lose me there,” he says. “In my opinion, the billionaire of today is most interested in building bigger. They’ve lost sight of how to build a beautiful boat.”

“These wooden boats are organic,” he says, returning to the crafts he loves like family. “You get a sense that they’re a living, breathing organism. They have almost a human-like attachment. There’s something about going to sea on a wooden boat.”

One might almost consider it irresistible.

Trumping A Classic: Trumpy 63

• By Chris Caswell
• Updated: February 18, 2009

ytgfeb09trump63525.jpg

In every field of endeavor, there are names that become benchmarks, against which lesser competitors are judged. Rolls-Royce, Limoges, Brioni, and cristal spring to mind. the fact that the creator of the product no longer exists seems not to matter in the least: consider Stradivarius, for example.

That is exactly the case with the name trumpy, which graced motoryachts built from the late ’30s through the early ’70s and which still remains a yardstick by which luxury yachts are measured by the knowledgeable.

Each trumpy bore an ornate and filigreed scrollwork “T” flowing from the bow that was a stamp not just of authenticity but also of quality, and the approach of a yacht with that scroll would stop activity on most waterfronts as the crisply classic lines were admired.

Each trumpy was assembled by a team of master craftsmen who took a quiet pride in their dexterity with a piece of mahogany. Each seam, each joint, each finely finished corner, was done by one man who ran his rough but sensitive hands over it until it was good enough to satisfy two tough critics: that craftsman and John trumpy, Sr. Only then was it good enough for the client.

Over a span of 30-some years, Trumpy & Sons built more than 400 wooden yachts for celebrities, dignitaries, and discerning yachtsmen. But the ’70s were a time when the sweet smell of fine woods being planed into long curls was being replaced by the reek of resin and fiberglass and acetone and catalyst. When the last shed door slammed shut, many thought it wasn’t just the end of Trumpy, but the end of an era. and so Trumpy passed into the realm of legend.

Enter Jock West, former Yachting publisher turned marketing entrepreneur. he came up with the idea of purchasing a classic Trumpy motoryacht, completely refurbishing it using products from a number of clients, and-naming her Showtime-using her as a floating showcase at in-water boat shows along the Eastern Seaboard. It was a clever marketing idea, because it showed products from yacht finishes to electronics in their natural environment aboard a beautifully restored yacht.

“After a couple of boat shows,” West recalls, “I made an interesting discovery. At each show, there were several qualified people who wanted to buy Showtime. She was as turnkey as the rows of new white plastic yachts, and they loved the style, loved the comfort, loved the classic elegance.”

Thus was launched the idea not to create replicas, but updated and modernized Trumpys. The result is the Trumpy 63 Flush Deck Motoryacht seen in renderings on these pages.

But it wasn’t quite that easy. First, West had to find a builder and, while there are many of those, a Trumpy built in fiberglass would be sacrilege. His search led him to Vicem, the Turkish yard that has been building in wood perhaps not as far back as the Ottoman Empire, but for several generations, anyway.

Then he tracked down Johan Trumpy because the yacht wouldn’t be a Trumpy unless there was actually a family member involved, and Johan is the last of the sons who worked in the boatyard. Excited at the idea of seeing the Trumpy name relaunched in grand style, he was delighted to join the growing team. Rounding out the effort was Jim Ewing, the executive vice president for Alden Yachts, as CEO and project manager.

“There is a young and different generation attracted by the Trumpy,” says West, noting that though they may never have been aboard a traditional yacht, “they understand that she is proportioned the way a yacht ought to look.”

In profile, the new Trumpy 63 is something that John Trumpy, Sr., might have drawn about the time he was drafting the lines for the classic Presidential Yacht, Sequoia. Though Showtime was the template for the new yacht, the interior accommodations remain “Trumpyesque” rather than exact. But the real story is that the new yacht will benefit from seven decades of major advancements in all areas of systems, equipment, and construction, from wiring to electronics.

The hull, like all Vicems, is cold-molded from mahogany using West System epoxy resins to create an incredibly strong and moisture-resistant yacht. For those unfamiliar with the cold-molded process, it’s been around for decades. During World War II, the Mosquito fighter-bomber was cold-molded by Dehavilland and, though first scorned by aircrews as the “flying splinter”, it soon earned their affection and admiration for being able to absorb incredible battle damage and still bring them home.

Starting with a keel laminated from 30 layers of african mahogany, the new Trumpy hull is laminated with skins of mahogany at 45 and 90 degrees, forming an intricate multi-directional skin. Bonded and then faired with West System epoxy resins, the process is duplicated for the deck and house, creating a rigid and light monocoque structure. Polymer staples are used to hold everything together during the curing process and then left in place because they will never corrode. Add in structural bulkheads and longitudinal girders to carry the engines, and the result is one tough yacht.

According to Jock West, the hull lines have been “tweaked” from Showtime, with the most visible difference being an added foot of beam to increase the size of the cabins and salon. Along with additional veeing of the originally roundish trumpy hull and a deepening of the forefoot, the result will be better seakeeping without adding drag.

For those who have seen Showtime, the layout of the Trumpy 63 will be comfortably familiar but, for first-timers, it will be like stepping into the golden Era of Yachting.

The afterdeck is inviting, with twin side doors protecting guests lounging on the wide settee or in the Trumpy-built chairs from breezes. It is where you will sit on pleasant evenings at anchor and, if the weather is cool, it is easily enclosed and temperature controlled.

Inside the salon, it’s easy to see why many Trumpys were labeled “houseboats” before that term had negative connotations among saltwater skippers. No, a trumpy really is house-like, with loose chairs and a sofa that create a living room atmosphere. a day-head is tucked in one corner, and the wheelhouse fills the forward part of the cabin with a settee for guests. Doors lead to the walkaround side decks and an outdoor settee on the foredeck.

Gentle stairs from the salon lead down to a hallway, with the master stateroom filling the full width of the stern. the master berth is offset, a loveseat is to port, and the en suite head is spacious, with a shower stall and tecma commode.

Just forward is a guest cabin with twin berths and a head to port with shower. Keeping the interior bright is the traditional trumpy style of Þnishing ceilings and bulkheads white, with trim of perfectly varnished mahogany as accents.

Filling the midship area is the large U-shaped galley which Jock West hopes clients will fit with copper countertops like the original. “Corian or marble just don’t match the Trumpy theme,” he says, but the galley will have a full inventory of modern Viking appliances.

The crew quarters are forward of the pilothouse with another private head and shower, as well as direct access to the engineroom. a galley-up layout is available, which will move the galley and dining area into the salon, while the extra space on the lower deck will be used to create an even larger master suite and a fourth stateroom.

Power will be a pair of Man diesels, a vast improvement over the smoky and inefficient original engines. In fact, efficiency is something that West says has to be seen to believe. “We know, from our experience with Showtime, that the new Trumpy 63 will cruise at about 15 knots for ten hours on about 50 gallons of fuel. That seems unbelievable, but she’s incredibly fuel efficient.”

A full list of standard equipment includes many items that John Trumpy, Sr., never imagined: full air conditioning, bow thruster, 16 kW Kohler generator, full electronics including radar and GPS, and a sophisticated shorepower system. “We have a simple process for selecting all the systems and gear on the new Trumpy…we choose the finest.”

“Best of all,” says West, “the yacht has the five-year Vicem warranty, and this is a very customer-friendly builder.” Price for the Trumpy 63 has been set at $2,935,000, and delivery time for finished yachts is expected to be about nine months.

It’s an intriguing concept that taps into every skipper’s dream of owning a classic motoryacht without having to endure the agonies of restoration or the breakdowns of old systems. Instead the dream of elegance from a quieter time, and the pleasure of being on the water board a yacht that will turn heads, will become reality.

All we need now is for the cast from All That Jazz to break out in the classic song: “Everything Old is New Again.”

Extensively restored, the 1939 Mathis-Trumpy Innisfail is priced at $2.95 million

A slice of U.S. naval and presidential history will be on view among the yachts at the Palm Beach International Boat Show, priced by Bartram and Brakenhoff at $2.95 million.

Innisfail, a restored 1939 Mathis-Trumpy motor yacht, was designed by John Trumpy and handcrafted by the Mathis Yacht Building Co., a favored manufacturer of yachts for society’s elite, including the Dodges, DuPonts and Guggenheims.

Shortly after her launch, she and other luxury yachts were commandeered for World War II shore-patrol duty by the U.S. Navy, which refitted her deck with cannons and her stern with a depth-charge rack, according to a website devoted to the vessel, YachtInnisfail.com, which details much of the history in this story.

After patrolling the East Cost, the yacht was decommissioned in 1947. She was restored and remained in government service as a presidential yacht used by presidents Truman, Eisenhower and Kennedy before being sold to a private owner in 1965. In later years, however, the yacht — which can accommodate up to 60 guests — hosted presidents Nixon, Ford and Clinton.

Over the years, the yacht served as a charter vessel in Chicago and in Fort Lauderdale, where she was known as El Presidente, said Joe Bartram, who became a broker at Bartram and Brekenhoff after selling the company he founded.

The yacht today belongs to a Charleston, S.C., owner who bought her five years ago, undertook her restoration and recently decided to sell her, Bartram said. Over the past several months, the yacht has been spiffed up for her appearance in West Palm Beach, Bartram said.

“The owner really wanted to get her in shape for the show,” he said. “She’s been primped.”

Innisfail will be docked at Bartram and Brekenhoff’s display on Ramp D in slips D101-D104 and D104A.

Blitzen’s Baddies aim for strong finish to 2024 Newport Yacht Club’s racing season

• Copy Link URL Copied!

Challenges confronted the crew of the Blitzen from day one in their inaugural year competing in the Newport Harbor Yacht Club’s racing season. Their halyard broke during the opening day race in May, sending the wind-catching kite propelling their boat from Long Beach Harbor to Newport Pier tumbling into the ocean.

“There was no hesitation between this team,” Blitzen’s owner Brett Scott said. “Everyone grabbed the kite and in 20 seconds it was up and flying again.”

She has been sailing since she was 5. But her first year at the head of a team has taught her a lot about managing schedules, the personalities aboard the boat and finances, she said.

“Whenever something breaks it adds up, so I’m definitely not doing this for the money,” Scott said with a laugh. “Don’t take investment advice from me. But we’ve really bonded as a team, and I think that’s our greatest achievement.”

There were plenty of smirks, side-eye and playful jabs as she and the crew rigged the Blitzen Friday in preparation of Long Point Race week. The three-day race is the last competitive event of the yacht club’s season.

The first leg starts in Newport Harbor and ends at Catalina Island. Boats then sail to the opposite end of the island and back on day two before returning to Newport Harbor on day three.

Blitzen’s Baddies, as the crew refers to themselves on Instagram, are all experienced sailors and were optimistic about finishing strong in their first season as a team. They’ve had some success this summer, including third-, second- and first-place finishes in their class during the three days of Long Beach Racing Week in June.

“We keep getting better,” Scott said.

Crew member Tyler Macdonald said the hardest part about the season has been “dealing with Adam and Spencer,” drawing laughs from Adam Bradley, Spencer Buchanan and the rest of the team aboard the Blitzen on Friday. Teammate Matt Whitfield said the real challenge of each race lies in “the hangover afterwards.” Coincidentally, he said his favorite activity while sailing is when they crack open some beer mid-journey.

There’s no shortage of banter aboard the Blitzen. And the irreverent sense of humor of her crew is half the reason Scoot chose to have them aboard.

She grew up in Reno and traveled to Newport Beach every summer as a child to sail with her family. She fell in love with both the ocean and the tavern-style warmth of the community that welcomed her into the sport.

Her father, Bart Scott, said he wasn’t surprised to see her move to Newport Beach. He’s proud to see her fulfill her lifelong dream of owning a boat and fielding a racing team. And although she has a sense of humor, she runs a tight ship and commands the respect of her crew.

“Once we all come together on what a problem is there’s not a lot of back and forth or arguing,” Scott said. “They all just recognize what we each need to do and get it done.”

After Long Point, Blitzen’s Baddies plan on participating in small casual races while preparing for next season. They hope to compete in the Transpacific Yacht Race from San Pedro to Honolulu next July.
