Historic Boats: Timeless Cool

While modern boats often steal the spotlight, there's a fascination with vessels of a bygone era that endures. Take, for instance, the "America", a 138-foot (42m) three-masted schooner designed by naval architect William Gardner in 1903.

Another historic boat that turns heads is the "Harmony II". Originally built in 1926, this 116-foot (35.3m) schooner was fully restored in 2017. Today, it's enjoyed for its classic design and comfort, making it a timeless addition to any cool boats list.
