Can any of you cognoscenti yacht experts recommend a classic wooden boat for me to consider purchasing. I like antiques and want a wooden relic. It needs to be at least 70' long, one or two masts doesn't have to be in perfect condition but it needs to been made before 1930. Any brand name specific suggestion would be appreciated, thank you.

At that time most vessels of that size were built & designed as working schooners, racers or one offs especially 70+ footers. You could narrow it by yacht designer..

Farnsworth, There are wooden boats on the market
but not here. The woodenboat forum would be one good place to start your search. An 80 year old wooden boat 70+ feet long is not the most abundant item on the market and probably one of the most costly to keep.

70 feet?
The Bell Laboratories yawl up on the Bras D'Or in Nova Scotia is for sale and you're not likely to find a more pedigreed boat...built in 1917, but only 59 feet...

..There are currently
There are currently only two wooden sail boats between 70 and 100 feet, built pre 1930 even available on YachtWorld and located in the US. There is a 95 footer in Newport for 2.9 million... Perhaps this was a joke???

Here you go Farnsworth, stop your search.
Forget the build date. This is the one you want. Once you buy it, you can sail it up to Maine and take "Maine Sail" and I for a ride. We'll bring the beer. http://www.classicyachtforsale.com/syWhiteHawk.html Tim R.

Like asking for Foie Gras at McDonalds!
Multi-million dollar yachts are purchased through brokers, let them do the leg work. You just choose one and write the check.
