Classic Wood Trumpy Yacht
Johan Trumpy describes his grandfather, John Trumpy Sr., as an ambitious 23-year-old naval architect who arrived from Berlin, Germany, at the turn of the century. He began his U.S. career at the New York Shipyard in Camden, N.J. and eventually became a prolific designer at the Mathis Yacht Building Company. By the 1920s, the graceful Mathis-Trumpy line had an easily distinguishable styling with signature “T” scrollwork, plumb bow and counter stern, vertical Pullman windows and canvas awning.

Boat Lust, Riva Aquarama, classic wood boat
A solid block of boat and yacht art in wood.
It is Lust on the water in a wooden boat.
The Riva Aquarama and Super Aquarama is the boat of Brigitte Bardot. Or Ted Kennedy (and friend) photographed with his swim suit down around his ankles before he got past middle age. Peter Sellers owned one. Leslie Caron has been associated with the yacht. Prince Rainer of Monaco and his family owned several. The Shah of Iran had his Riva air freighted to his local waters from the factory in the Lake country of Northern Italy.. The Riva Aquarama and Riva Super Aquamara captured the LUST of boaters and landlubbers alike.

Matthews cruiser under power
Ask the doctor for a “boater’s scar” tomorrow.
Note, the photo is of a post World War II Matthews 38’ cruiser.
Matthews boats / yachts were built in Port Clinton, OH from 1890 to 1975.
Her sister ship is on the hard while her skipper chases some hospital staff from his bed to his chair and back again. Its called exercise.
Everything is reported to be well and comfortable, pre-op, except for the lack of salt in his food. And, oh ya, and no Hot Corn Beef Sandwiches from Attman’s, either.
Attman’s, by the way, has been in the downtown area within the water –front city of Baltimore since 1915. (410-563-2666 ) for the best Hot “Corn Beef, Mustard, Rye” south of New York Practice saying that before you go. It helps make you feel like a regular customer.

17 Outboard 1959 Lyman “Clinker-Built”
1959 Lyman outboard 17'
Offered only for two model years, 1959 and 1960, the 17’ which could take a 75 Hp Evinrude outboard was sandwiched between the 16 1/2’ Lyman model rated for up to a 60 Hp outboard and the Lyman 18’ often powered by twin 35-45 Hp Outboards.
It is a handy boat, lightweight, easy to trailer, and seating five with a large space to walk around in mid-cockpit, between the front and rear seats. A splash well was built-in with this model.
These boats were finished with a special color Lyman exclusive stain and varnished deck, seats, and windshield and a semi-gloss white paint on the lapstrake (clinker-built) hull sides.
Lyman Boats was at its production peak in 1955, with over 5,000 boats produced in sizes from 13’ to 20’ in length. As the founding family died and fiberglass took the lead as the matieral of choice for small boats, Lyman Boats made their last boat in 1973. Bernard Lyman built his first boat in 1873, and by 1875, boat building was his full time way to make a living, according to Tom Koroknay, now known as “Doc Lyman”, the Lyman expert. Note: While Bernard was the founder, his son, Bill, led the company to great heights during his time in mgt.
