RAINMAKER | 1963 Tripp 39 Classic Keel/CB Yawl

Kingston, ON, CA

About

If you dream of coastal cruising or racing aboard an easily handled classic that has had everything done in terms of restoration work and ongoing maintenance, RAINMAKER may be just the boat you've been waiting for.

She boasts nothing but the finest in terms of design, construction, and materials, and represents the highest possible standard of fit and finish both on deck and under the floorboards. A recent survey will attest to the lavish restoration and maintenance she has received in recent years.

Designed by the legendary naval architect William Tripp, RAINMAKER was built at the Jacobson Yard in Oyster Bay, NY in 1963. She was constructed using only the best materials of the day. From the day she was built, her hull has always been varnished showing off her gorgeous patina. She boasts a double-planked mahogany and teak hull, bronze fastened with floors and centerboard trunk bronze as well as the board. Strong floors and a bronze reinforced mast step support her original aluminum mast. An oak keel with laminated stem and forefoot all go to make RAINMAKER strong, seaworthy, and a joy to own and sail. Lift the floorboards and you will see that her keel, frames and floors are in "as new" condition.

She'll hold her own versus a Concordia Yawl on the race course and she has proven that by winning her class in the 1964 Newport to Bermuda Race. She offers luxurious and comfortable accommodations, and receives compliments wherever she goes. RAINMAKER is a must see for anyone considering a classic and who wants to be competitive on the race course or cruise in comfort (or both!). Her current owners have had her for the last 45 years. She has only been owned by 3 sets of dedicated owners and has received only the finest care. She's in excellent condition and receives our highest recommendation.

Testimonials

George Ayers was terrific to work with over the past few months as I evaluated, negotiated and purchased a CS 30 that Harris & Ellis Yachts had listed in Sarnia. He was patient, thorough and totally professional. I have owned nine sailboats in my 50+ years as a sailor. My experience with George and Harris & Ellis Yachts has been my best boat buying experience to date.

George did an amazing job of selling our CS 30 sailboat. A caring and compassionate person, he went above and beyond our expectations and never stopped working on our behalf to get the job done. We are forever grateful for his dedication to his work. Please let him know how much we think of him!

I am writing to express my deepest gratitude for the outstanding service provided by Greg. Last October, my husband suddenly passed away due to a heart attack, leaving behind two boats. Greg was instrumental in helping me sell the first boat quickly and at a very good price. As for the second boat, due to my husband's declining health in his final year, the boat had been sitting idle at the dock near our home for over a year. Greg demonstrated the utmost professionalism in cleaning, maintaining, and preparing the boat for sale. He put in a tremendous amount of work, understanding the niche market for this boat, and always kept me informed of his progress without burdening me with the stress of the process. Last week, Greg successfully sold the second boat, and I am very satisfied with the price achieved. His professionalism and confidence in his work gave me a much-needed sense of security during such a difficult time.

Thank you for all your work in facilitating the sale of our dad's boat. Jake and I really appreciate all the hard work you put into it with the many visits, paperwork, etc. A special mention has to go out to Grant for teaching me how to fold the sails!

As first-time boat buyers and as foreigners wanting to buy a cruising catamaran in the US, we knew we needed a reliable broker that had our best interests in mind. John Heintzman was just that, and more! He was extremely committed to understanding what we were looking for, gave great advice, and guided us through the purchase process with great patience and knowledge. All in all, we felt very well taken care of.

—

I feel compelled to reach out about the absolutely wonderful experience that I have had with Grant and Patricia Bowlby. I completed the purchase of a boat yesterday and I couldn’t be happier. They were so helpful, kind, and patient. This was my first experience with a broker, and I think I’ve found the best.

I can’t thank Ewan Campbell enough for the super job he did in selling G, making up for my lack of experience in this realm and patiently searching for just the right buyer and a win-win for seller and buyer alike.

It was a wonderful experience selling A with Jeff Cole’s expert assistance. Thank you for simplifying a complicated process. Your patience and kindness are especially appreciated.
