76 Custom 1998 Boat for Sale

Wild Horses Yacht | 76' Custom 1998

Inspired By Herreshoff, Designed by Joel White, and built by Brooklin Boatyard; W-76 #1 represents the ultimate blend of performance, pedigree, and beauty.  

A spirited descendent of the most iconic yachts from the early 20th Century, the W-76 racing yachts were conceived to pay homage to the legendary New York 50s, the thundering J-Class boats, and the nimble 12-Meters. The W-76’s were the last of more than fifty distinctive designs from the drawing board of the late Joel White, the naval architect acclaimed for so beautifully reincarnating traditional wooden vessels using the most modern construction techniques.  These award-winning, record-setting Spirit of Tradition racing yachts are fast, race-proven sloops with a bundle of trophies from wins in New England, the Mediterranean, and the Caribbean.

W-76 #1 was handcrafted by Brooklin Boatyard in Maine and launched in 1998. With her cold-molded construction (fin keel and a spade rudder), carbon fiber spars with North 3Di sails, and state-of-the art systems/electronics, she is the epitome of “Spirit of Tradition” yachting.
