Golden Eye

design #414, 41'3" x 30' x 11' x 6' Aux yawl, 1936, built by Minneford

Golden-Eye has been in the family for 31 years.  My father bought her in 1972.  She was a sinker.  In 1977 he brought Golden-Eye up to our back yard of our house in  Glen Head N.Y and started to restore her.  She went through a 5 year restoration before she was re-launched in 1981.  All of the restoration was done by my father.  We still continue to sail her hard as well as race her hard.
