ALTHEA
CLASSIC YAWL ALTHEA
Althea was designed by renowned designer and captain Fredrick “Ted” E. Hood and was built in Bresken, Netherlands by Frans Maas in 1963. She was owned and raced by Mr. Hood in the Newport to Bermuda, Marblehead to Halifax, and the SORC races in the early 60’s. In the Late 60’s early 70’s she was sold to a new home on the Great Lakes where she competed in the Mackinac races on Lake Huron. Since that time she has been retired to private ownership to the east coast of New York and New England until her delivery to Traverse City in 2021. She is a beautiful yacht well suited for a relaxed or lively excursion on the bay.
