    Default 1945 56' Nevins sloop on Maine CL

    Don't know anything about this boat but perhaps it's of interest to someone here.

    Too much overhang for my liking.

    I believe I went aboard this boat in Rockland, Maine about ten years ago when a company gathered together some old woodies to rebuild and offer for sale. I was looking at Mah Jong, a teak yawl for a friend. http://www.cheoyleeassociation.com/mahjong.htm He eventually got her but the business didn't take off.

    IIRC the cabin of the Nevins cutter has bunks for ten!

    Not for me! Guess that's why they make different styles, eh?

    Oh boy - just what I need - another over 50' project. Just take me out back & shoot me!

    Wow - 56' & 11.5 beam - toothpick!
