Singoalla The International Dragon was designed by Johan Anker in 1929 as a small cruising boat, complete with two births, to be sailed off the coast of Norway. The design quickly gained popularity and in 1948 it was selected as an Olympic Class boat, an honor it retained until the Munich Games of 1972. In 1973 the first fiberglass Dragon was certified and a cold molded version was soon added. There are over 1400 Dragons registered around the world, evidence that the Dragon is the only one design class that has maintained their popularity after leaving the Olympics. Today classic wooden Dragons can be seen racing competitively with the modern Dragons. Singoalla was built in 1947 in Grimstad Norway and with the sail number of D US2 is the second boat to be registered in the United States. She is planked with Douglas Fir over White Oak frames. Her keel is also White Oak. Her deck is Larch with Mahogany covering boards on Douglas Fir deck beams. She has come to East Passage Boatwrights for a structural restoration of the hull and deck with the ultimate goal of getting her recertified by the International Dragon Association. Upon completion she can be seen sailing off Long Island.

Waterlily Waterlily is a 22’ Tripp Angler built by F.L. Tripp & Sons in Westport Point, Massachusetts in 1983. F.L. Tripp & Sons has been in business for over 70 years producing world renowned boats, and being a family business they are in their third generation of operation. The owner acquired Waterlily 5 years ago but wanted to look at more than gel coat. He decided on some teak accents and we helped him out. In 2005 a teak transom was installed. In 2007 we added teak coamings. The overall effect is dramatic as can be seen in the photos.

Sonny 54' 1935 Sparkman and Stephens Auxiliary sloop Sonny. Restored by East Passage Boatwrights during the winter of 2007. Built by the Jacobs yard in City Island New York, Sonny came to EPB with broken frames forward of the main bulkhead. EPB replaced 20 frames and rebuilt the mast partner truss as well as refastening the hull. Sonny can be seen sailing out of her home port of Newport, RI.
