Sea Forth was designed by Naval architect Hugh Angelman, and intended for world cruising. Built by American Marine in Hong Kong, the same yard that had built many Grand Banks trawlers.

The extreme quality of her original construction and materials, including solid teak hull and planking, contributes to her longevity. Most wood boats were marine ply or other inferior woods. This one is solid teak.

Add meticulous care and maintenance by wood-boat enthusiasts, and you have a classic yacht specimen that attracts attention, interest and appreciation.
