Marguerita is a Classic Twin Screw Commuter Yacht designed for a New England Yachtsman who required a good seagoing craft of heavy construction with a good turn of speed and spacious accommodation. She was built regardless of cost by Britt Bros, West Lynn, Boston, Massachusetts in 1933, to the design of Henry J. Gielow. She offers luxurious accommodation for up to five guests in three cabins, and even has a bath!
Construction is Douglas Fir planks over white Oak frames, galvanised screw fastened. She has Teak laid decks over Oak beams. In 1997 she underwent an extensive rebuild and much of her planking and many of her frames were replaced. She is understood to have been owned at one time by the US Coastguard who re-engined her with a pair of superb 165 HP Detroit Diesel 6-71's. She was also owned at one time by the legendary actor, John Wayne. She has been very well maintained over the years.
