Show’s oldest yachts shine

WHAT A DIFFERENCE A YEAR MAKES: At this time last year, Stew Gestel Kuyler worked on a brand new motoryacht. Being on the 1958 M/Y Montrevel keeps her busy polishing brass. “It’s quite lovely,” she said. PHOTO/LUCY REED

Surrounded by big white boats at the Palm Beach International Boat Show sit a few unusual vessels, partly because of their hulls, mostly because of their age.

It’s hard to miss the 121-foot (37m) M/Y Montrevel, with her riveted steel hull. Built in 1958 as an expedition vessel, it was refit in 2001 as a personal yacht.

“It’s a lovely boat to entertain on,” said Stew Gestel Kuyler, pointing out two large teak tables that fold out to make one on the upper aft deck. The yacht can accommodate 10 guests.

The yacht is home-ported in Monaco and includes the Monaco Yacht Club burgee painted on its stack. The crew,

led by Capt. Sannoch Clark, cruised the Bahamas with the owner before heading to the show.

“It’s a very heavy boat,” Clark said. “She has variable pitch props; she doesn’t like to stop. She bites in and keeps on going.”

Find Montrevel in the YachtZoo display. She’s listed at $5.4 million.

At the south end of the show in the Bartram & Brakenhoff display is M/Y Enticer, the oldest yacht in the show. Built in 1935 as a private yacht, the 85-foot vessel is a wooden-hulled Mathis Trumpy.

She immediately stands out, covered in varnish and sporting all the classic lines of these pre-war vessels. The yacht

had a structural renovation by Brooklin Boat Yard in Maine in 2001 and a refit in 2010 by McMillen Yachts in Rhode Island.

McMillen has created a fleet of pre-war wooden yachts, often salvaged from certain loss, by finding like-minded history and yachting buffs willing to invest time and money in their rebirth. Enticer is owned by eight partners in a fractional ownership program.

“There are no basketball players here,” said Todd Jarem, manager of restoration at McMillen Yachts. “These owners get into it and they know they have to wait. It’s a wooden boat. Whatever they put in, they know they’re going to have to put in a little more.”

The company has restored 15 such boats thus far, including M/Y Freedom, the 104-foot sister-ship to the former presidential yacht M/Y Sequoia. Freedom, also a Mathis Trumpy but build in 1926, was saved from a river with holes in her hull.

“For 20 years, he [owner Earl McMillen] has been finding wooden yachts in horrendous shape and getting a conglomerate of owners to finance the refit,” Jarem said.

The company takes pains to find original or period-specific hardware

and parts to keep the appearance of the yacht as authentic as possible.

“But under the skin, they have to be reliable and safe,” Jarem said as he raised the master bed. Tucked underneath was the gyro stabilizer.

The yacht is long and narrow, which makes it efficient in the water, but it’s also three decks high and that makes it tipsy. Fin stabilizers wouldn’t work with the shallow-draft hull (plus, who wants to put holes in a wooden hull?) so engineers worked out a way to make the gyro stabilizer work.

“It’s completely transformed the usability of the boat,” said Jarem, who detailed trips to Nantucket and around Newport with nary a glass sliding about. “But we’re not going to take her out in a storm, still.”

McMillen has never done a boat show before, though Bartram & Brakenhoff is no stranger to pre-war wooden vessels. It showed the oldest yacht in the show last year, too: the 92-foot M/Y Innisfail.

And that’s the fun of a boat show, to see all the newest in the industry, sure, but to see the unexpected, too. And besides, Enticer has a couple ownership slots available.

Yacht crew are proud of the vessels they help maintain and of the work they do onboard. So we thought it would

be fun to see them in their element, surrounded by the equipment and materials they work with every day. Thanks to all the crew who played along with us yesterday at the show. We like to call this collage Masters of Their Domains.

With spring break looming and people around the world making plans for summer holidays, we got thinking about time off and wondered how yacht crew spend that time. I would have guessed they’d want to get as far away from the sea and traveling as possible. Perhaps find mountains or big cities. Maybe just the couch.

Not so much.Yachties love to travel, which is

likely why they got into this industry in the first place. So when they get time off, it’s a pretty good guess they’ll hit the road (or the trail or an airplane).

Equally common is the practice of their favorite sport. Whether it’s golf, surfing or cycling, yachties go exercise.

And then there’s a whole group of crew who just want to stop and rest a while, doing nothing (often on the beach) or catching up with friends and family.

Only one crew admitted that they like to party in their down time. But we’re sure there are more of you out there.
