COMMENTS: FAIR TIDE is a very handsome Downeast style hardtop Cruiser which was built in 1987 by Falmouth Marine Railway and designed by the renowned Royal Lowell. Her present owners purchased FAIR TIDE in 2014 and have cruised the Maine Coast extensively and thoroughly appreciate her reliable Cat and simplicity of systems. This office believes this vessel is perfect for large family picnics with dogs and grandchildren, but also is ideal for weekending. FAIR TIDE’S Caterpillar 3208T diesel was completely rebuilt at Kittery Point Yacht Yard in 2011, and has about 539 hours since. This is a low maintenance, “wash down” vessel with her S/S rails, rebuilt fiberglass decks, and simple Herreshoff-style interior for four. She has “classic” Downeast lines, and turns heads in every harbor she enters. Please call us for an inspection of this fine vessel.
Thank you for your interest.
