She is not a Hatteras but that "Classic Old Design" brings a smile to my face

I don't know what it is about an older classic design that draws me in, maybe it's because my perception of "a yacht" was conceived during my formative years of having examples like this boat.
Whoever restored Her did a great job, and I thought other's might enjoy seeing an almost 50 year old wood boat shine. Folks who take care of their boat like this keeps me motivated to know that when the job is done right the results make it worthwhile.

I might also note that whoever took the photo's, did a good job prepping (cleaning) / documenting the boat.

additional note 6:45am: Just looked on Yachtworld at some other Matthew boats, where there are some that are in better shape than the one mentioned above. Still it's nice to see a boat well taken care of.

Handsome old boat, but will take a VERY devoted owner. There aren't many people out there who are willing to work this hard for their boating. I hope someone does.

It is a beautiful boat, brings back a lot of fond memories growing up summers on the St. Lawrence River. I would have one in a minute if I still lived up there, taking it to Florida would be crazy, and probably the end of her.
