The vessel is one of the well known New York 32’s that were built in the 30’s for
the New York Yacht Club. The vessel was designed by Sparkman & Stephens with a
spoon bow, round bilge, full keel, external lead ballast and transom stern. Her hull was
built by Henry Nevins at his City Island Yard. The hull is constructed of carvel planked
mahogany over 1 ¾” square steam bent oak frames on 8” centers. The floor timbers are 1
½” and 2 ½” oak sided on 8” centers. The deck on the vessel has the original fir deck
which has been overlaid with plywood and fiberglass. Over this a new teak deck has been
laid. The deck beams on the vessel are 1” x 2’ oak on 8” centers. The superstructure is the 

typical long low profile trunk cabin that is constructed out of mahogany followed by the

aft cockpit.

The vessel is sloop rigged with the main mast being box constructed of sitka
spruce. The mast is stepped through the deck and lands on a mast step atop the floor
timbers. The chain plates pass through the deck and are bolted through the hull. Auxiliary
power is provided by a Vetus 4-cylinder diesel engine located aft of the companionway.
Removable panels give reasonable service access to the engine.

The interior layout of the vessel has an anchor rode locker forward followed by
the forward cabin. This cabin has a vee berth forward with general storage below. Aft to
starboard is a hanging locker and aft to port are lockers. Next aft there is a vanity to
starboard and an enclosed head to port. The main cabin is next aft. This cabin has a settee
berth forward to port with outboard pilot berth. To starboard is a settee berth with lockers
and shelves outboard. Aft to port is the galley and aft to starboard is the nav station
followed by a quarter berth. Centered aft is the companionway with the engine behind.

This vessel is hull number 5 in the New York 32 fleet. In 1999 the vessel began a
rebuilding process during which time the interior was removed from the vessel. During
this rebuild a large portion of the frames were sistered with long sisters. There was floor
timber replacement and some sections of the deck were replaced. In addition a whole new
interior was installed. This is well done, but not the original layout of the vessel. The
engine was replaced at this time and then the vessel was launched and put into service.
In recent years the vessel has had
some hard times.The mast has been removed by the yard and it
was found to have significant rot. This is to the point that it can not be saved and will
have to be replaced. There are various issues with the hull and deck that indicate the
vessel will need to undergo a second partial re-build program.

Built in 1947 for Kenneth Whittier, an editor for Rudder Magazine, and designed to follow Slocum’s Spray around the world, Starbound has safely delivered her several distinguished owners through thousands of blue water miles, including two trips around the globe.

From 1995 until 1999 Starbound underwent a massive overhaul, during which time she was replanked with reclaimed old-growth longleaf yellow pine, laid over sawn oak frames. Her entire transom and aft deck were replaced, as were the teak decking and cabin top. She is in fantastic shape, in the water in Portland, ME.

Starbound appears in two books: Starbound and Deep water cruising, by Former owners Gordon and Nina Stuermer.

We have a recent survey of the boat available for reading.

Up top:

Let’s start aft with the Quarterdeck: Here you will find the perfect blend of tradition and comfort. A cushioned bench follows the contours of the taffrail to provide comfortable seating, as well as stowage. The helm has a traditional wood and bronze helm attached to a beautiful teak post with a Ritchie compass encased in a beautiful bronze glass and teak binnacle. The entire cockpit is covered by a stainless framed Bimini cover.

With over seventeen feet of beam, there is plenty of room to work, play, and relax on the house, decks, and foredeck.

Below:

Her galley is huge and perfectly set up to cook and entertain, even in a heavy sea. Amenities include a gimbaled force 10 four burner stove with oven, top loading Sea Frost fridge and freezer, with side access, a huge sink, and tons of well thought out stowage.

Directly to port is the nav station, with a pilot cabin and berth aft of the nav station.

The focus of the main salon is the settee with a fold out table. There is room for six to eight people at the table. The skylight above creates rich ambient light. The beautiful hand carved panel above the settee was carved by a young master in Bali during one the yacht’s circumnavigations. It depicts a scene from the Balinese interpretation of the epic Ramayana, showing Rama rescuing his wife Sita from the demon king Ravana.

Access to the huge quarter lazarette is just inboard and aft of the settee. In the lazarette is easy access to the rudder post and tackle as well as a sail locker, safety gear, etc.

Heading forward to port you will find the large head that includes a separate standup shower. Forward of the head is the master’s cabin with a double bunk and lots stowage, and plenty of room to stretch.

Across from the master cabin is the engine room/workshop. Access to all systems is easy from this uniquely spacious engine room.

Forward of the engine room on the starboard side is the guest cabin with two single bunks and a good amount of stowage.

Head further forward to find a well stocked bookshelf on your way to the huge forecastle. There are four bunks in the Forecastle as well as stowage bins.

This Bristol is an excellent example of a well loved classic. These boats were designed to sail well in all conditions by Carl Alberg, and built by Bristol yachts to perform in all conditions, and to last through the ages. She has spent her last five years stored inside. The photographs you see are from fall 2011 in storage.   She is now in Maine. Though she needed little work, we have been giving her a freshening up. Keep an eye out for new photos of her in her polished glory.   She comes with a 9.9HP long shaft outboard that mounts into the hidden engine well.

Fully restored these boats are advertized for $44,000 to $70,000. This is your opportunity to purchase a classic, while at the same time supporting the Groton Sea Scouts ship 584.

She is in great shape. She will need a little bit of cosmetic maintenance to bring her up to Bristol shape. If you want to go fishing with the boys, she is just about there. She went in the water on June 19. Her starboard engine is running perfectly, while her port engine needs a starter. It shoould be in in the next few days. The Sea Scouts skipper brought her to thier mooring under one engine, and called to tell me how well she handled as such.

Her engines and systems have clearly been maintained meticulously. They have new carburetors, new alternators, water pumps, and distributors. The engines are winterized, and should be ready to go for the season. She is in Groton, CT. Make an appointment to have a look!

Layout:

Starting aft is the huge deck which is perfect for bringing in big fish, or for sitting back and enjoying the ride. The decks are teak, and though they are no longer perfect they are still in great shape. There is easy access to the engines and gen set via easily lifted covers. Note the over built cleats aft, and the teak swim platform.

Head up the ladder to the fly bridge, where one can easily take command of this great fishing machine. There is one seat- for the captain, but one could add several more on to the sturdy platform.

The foredeck is solid and easily accessible for anchoring.

The main salon has a drop down settee on the starboard side, with a helm station forward. The wheel and panel are currently detached. Take a close look and see how well put together the wiring is.

Lifting the panels on the soul you will find the electric water heater, as well as the holding tank, water tank, and fresh water pump.

Forward below the helm station is a head with an electric head that is plumbed to a holding tank. There is a shower wet up as well, but it has been blocked off. It should be very easy to set it up again.

All the way forward is the forward berth. The bunk has just enough room for two people who feel very comfortable together. One could extend the bunk out to make it wider. There is also a hanging locker, as well as another locker. Access to the anchor locker is easy.

We took this boat for a short sail in mid September on the way to Crockers, in Manchester MA to have a brand new head stay, and roller furler installed. Laterlast fall we sailed her to Miane in winds over 30 knots.  She sailed very well, and was suprisingly fast for all of her comfort. The Yanmar engine ran beautifully, but we did not try any of the electronics. The running lights functioned well.

Since then she has been worked on, and her interior is comming along nicely.  Hatches and portlights have been replaced or re-sealed, she has a new sole, as well as new panels.

Highlights include a Yanmar 30 Hp Diesel engine with approximately 100 hrs, and a brand new roller furler and head stay,

Layout:

• Her cockpit is huge with plenty of room for six people to cruise comfortably. All lines are lead aft to the cockpit to make for easy sailing. Self tailing primaries make for easy trimming.
• She has a wheel helm for easy extended cruising. Her dodger is in good shape and should keep the spray away for several seasons to come. There is a ton of space in her lockers.
• A trip to the foredeck is easy. She is a beamy boat and has lots of deck space to work or play on.
• Below forward is the v berth. The bunks connect to make a very large and comfortable berth. There is a large hanging locker to starboard, as well as stowage below the bunks.
• To port aft of the berth is the private head, with a manual marine toilet, sink, shower, and a good amount of stowage.
• Across from the head is a large hanging locker.
• The main salon has a drop down table with service for six. It is bright and warm feeling. Aft to the right is the galley with a sink, Hille Range stainless three burner LPG stove, and oven, plenty of work space, and stowage.
• To port is the navigation station, aft of that a good sized quarter berth.

for the last two seasons and is therefore still in excellent condition.
