OUR SAILBOAT
S/V Tammy Norie
Tammy Norie is a 40' wooden sloop, originally a ketch, designed by Kim Holman. Built to be both a comfortable family cruising boat and a blue-water voyager, she was constructed in 1968 at Whisstock's Boatyard in Woodbridge, England. She was one of seven sister ships knowns as the Whisstock Landfall 40's built by the yard between 1958 and 1972.
Tammy Norie has been in our family for the past 34 years, and in that time, completed four transatlantic voyages with various groupings of our family members and friends, and has received many upgrades to her hull, cockpit, cabin and rig. Currently, Tammy Norie is outfitted for coastwise sailing and chartering. She is a modern, beautiful, and stable boat for anyone wishing to explore the islands and waters of the Maine coast.
"This Holman classic design won a reputation as a fast and comfortable passage maker - she really is a superb cruising yacht; the boldly-sheered, short ended hull belies the fineness of the lines beneath - the cockpit is very deep and well protected and the volume below impressive, very comfortably sleeping 6 people."

"Tammy Norie is an amazing wooden boat. Anyone with the basic appreciation for sailing craft and the art of sailing, will find this vessel a true joy. Tammy's recognizable red sails lend to many friendly interactions with other sea goers, as the captain and crew are truly members of the Penobscot Bay community and know many who work and enjoy the sea."
