1906 Boat Replica |
|
After contacting four New England wood boat builders in 2013, the best estimate for the replica of the boat would be $250,000. This replica would be trucked to a studio in Massachusetts, or RI, to be used for interior shoots. It will then be masted, and launched in Narragansett Bay, on a railway, in the re-created 1906 scene. Original photos provided by the first owner’s son were acquired in 1979; the yawl, interiors and film shoot will be as accurate as possible. The sails will look like linen; all the rigging and lines will be as authentic as possible. The original “Independence” was gaff-rigged (see Home Page). If you can help fund this replica, or want more information, contact: adrianne@theyachtmovie.com or acbwriter@yahoo.com

The intention is NOT to keep the boat but, rather, after filming, sell to individual or organization that can sail it and maintain it. It was a Classic yawl design by one of Rhode Island’s best yacht designers !
