BROKERS COMMENTS
Fred Lawleys role as designer and specifier was no sinecure but based on a formal education and sound
apprenticeship also as a builder. His yachts are noted for combining his thorough understanding of modern
practice with careful attention to the detail of materials and sound methods of construction. Although few of
his yachts achieved racing success, they were much admired for their beauty of line, excellence of finish, sea
going qualities and comfort.
CARINA, formerly OLD GLORY, is one such lovely wooden motor yacht with beautiful lines culminating in a
canoe transom with a graceful sweep. The interior is simple, largely original with elegant touches and fixtures.
It is evident that CARINA has had significant upgrading in recent years, raising the bar, both structurally and
cosmetically to her original glory.
HISTORY
Designed by Fred Lawley This yacht was built without the present wheelhouse in 1918 by the famous family
boat yard business founded by his grandfather George - by then in Dorchester, Massachussetts, for one LH
Spaulding.
In 1923 she was sold to G.B Kimball, under whose ownership Nevins designed and built the current
wheelhouse. She was sold on to Allan Hirsch 1925, Henry W Lloyd in 1926, and Robert N Bavier in 1930.
More happily after that flurry of ownerships, she was bought in 1939 by George P Bonell, one of the founders
of the Cruising Club of America. Under his ownership for 40 plus years she ventured to Nova Scotia, twice to
Greenland and south to Bermuda then to the Windward and Leeward Islands. When not on away trips, she
apparently spent most of her time between New York, Nantucket and Boston.
In 1980 she was sold to Edgar B Caffrey and was Chesapeake Bay based, then sold on to William R Skinner in
1991, who raised a family aboard in the Newport to Boston area.
From the 1920s she was reportedly called OLD GLORY. Her present owner changed it to CARINA on buying
her in 2006.
Some 75 % of her structure and planking is original and her interior has been substantially retained save for
making both heads bigger with some nice cabinetry / bulkhead rework very sympathetically and without
detriment to her character The main mast is now deck stepped and shorter than original, all deck hatches
and the windlass / hardware accord with the 1918 drawings.

REFITS
The exterior hull has had 40% of the hull sides reefed out and splined with fir. After the splining, the hull
sides were planed fair and then board sanded fair, primed and painted, sanded down spot primed and
completely repainted in a semi-gloss white finish.
New white oak floor timbers have been installed towards the aft end of the boat in the steering gear
compartment, stiffening an area quite stressed with propeller and rudder action.
Refit of the middle section of the vessel, from the owners cabin forward to the galley mid aft, in the form of
furniture and water tank removal, installation of new frames new floor timbers and all associated fasteners
was undertaken in the mid 90s.
In 2006, in the aft cabin / lazarette, a dozen port and starboard steamed and sawn oak frames were removed
and replaced from the horn timber / keel to waterline using 12 to 1 glued scarves and bronze wood screw
fastened.
The stem was recently stripped to bare wood checked out, reprimed and repainted. From the stem down the
bow to the flat of the keel is a 1 x ½ half round bronze striker bar, for good protection.
