Passagemaker Refit
We found Captain Beebe's Passagemaker, a historical wooden boat - slowly sinking and all alone in Trinidad and we want to save her!
Passagemaker was once the pride and joy of the world renowned designer Capt Beebe and the culmination of his quest for an ocean-crossing cruising powerboat. With some TLC she can sail again. Built in Singapore in 1963 of 1 3/4 inch Burmese teak planking and chengal frames, she is a prime example of the pride of workmanship that once existed in the boatbuilding industry. Today her hull is still as solid as the day she was launched but her mahogany plywood decks are in sad need of repair, along with much of her rigging and engine. It would be such a shame to let this fine historical vessel disappear beneath the sea.
We had begun the task of bringing Passagemaker back to life but due to Covid and the lockdowns in Trinidad, work was stopped and the budget has drained away. We decided to reach out and ask - Please help us to save Passagemaker and see her sail the seas once again. Every small contribution helps.
Thank you
