- Robert Beebe's original Passagemaker
Ahoy! We are Laura and Chris Remacle and we are in Trinidad working on a refit of our next floating home- We found Robert Beebe's original Passagemaker, a historical wooden boat - slowly sinking and all alone in Trinidad and we decided to save her!
Passagemaker was once the pride and joy of the world renowned designer Robert Beebe, author of Voyaging Under Power, and the culmination of his quest for an ocean-crossing cruising powerboat. With some TLC Passagemaker can sail again. Today her hull is still as solid as the day she was launched but her mahogany plywood decks are in sad need of repair, along with much of her rigging and engine. It would be such a shame to let this fine historical vessel disappear beneath the sea.
We have begun the task of bringing Passagemaker back to life but due to Covid and the lockdowns in Trinidad, work was stopped and the budget has drained away.
We have started a GoFundMe and Facebook page called
Passagemaker Refit
check us out!
We would love to hear any feedback, suggestions or comments.
Cheers!
