Custom Creekmore

Mandarin has been with us 33 wonderful yrs., and age(im  now 75) sadly, necessitates our letting her go.  She's a Ray Creekmore design, custom built by Robert Day in Middleton,RI(Newport), where she was his personal yacht, then named Greensleeves. Wonderful article, "Into the Fog", about him and her, google and read.  She has blue water legs, with two Newport Bermuda Races under her keel.  

A delightful cruising boat, full keel, easily handled by my wife and I, and solo when I was younger. Draft at 4'6" easily accommodate s the Florida Keys and Bahamas. Was quite the racer, when racing against similar traditional boats, with many first in class. A custom mahogany interior, bronze portholes, oil lamps... with warmth and character.
