Classic Wooden Motor Yachts
PAM

Pam's current owners are not casual boaters. The couple own and operate Seascope Yacht Charters, a company that restores classic wooden yachts and offers them for charter. Bob began researching and restoring classics in 1975 when he acquired Gleam, a 67-foot 1937 12-meter America's Cup Class sloop. Since then, their collection has expanded to include the sailing yachts Northern Light (70 ft.), built in 1938; Mariner (54 ft.), built in 1950; and Pam, which Bob discovered in Florida, half sunk with both engines seized, the foredeck caved in, and much of the house and interior suffering from rot.

Today, the elegance and charm of this unique boat disguise the state of neglect in which she was found. The exterior brightwork, chromed hardware and deck fittings, and sheer of her hull rival any wooden classic afloat. Pam's aft deck, with a fully extendable canvas top and transparent roll-down side curtains, is the epitome of summer cruising comfort. The wicker furniture and leather-covered cushions can accommodate literally dozens of guests. Pam is unique in that, unlike most classic yachts designed to sleep as many people as possible, her interior space is more conducive to social events. The steering station, located amidships to port, is open. A center companionway leads below with a large pantry to port, opposite the galley-still entirely original. A narrow passageway, with the head to port, leads to an immense saloon area for dining, socializing, or sleeping. A hatch leads to the foredeck with a skylight overhead, and a crew cabin is located forward.
