now that the flames are out, tiffany yachts will start the rebuilding process. a total of four boats were lost as well as two buildings. such a tragic interruption of tiffany's 70-year old-plus great american boat building tradition. above is 'miss nancy', renovated and rebuilt by tiffany's and owned by some friends on the great wicomico river, directly across from tiffany's boat yard. here is some video from the fires with the owners of tiffany yachts.
one of the finest boat builders on the chesapeake bay, tiffany yachts burned yesterday. most of the buildings and -i think- all of the boats were saved by the quick actions of droves of volunteer firefighters from all around the northern neck. the fire burned for over four hours reports the woody boater, and a cause for the blaze has not been determined as yet. a friend reports that debris from the explosion was found on his property about a half mile away, on the opposite side of the great wicomico! glad no one was hurt. photo above by tom ryals of reedsville.
the wife does not have a nickname, but if she did, it would definately be 'miss go-go': she is a huge fan of go-go music, wanted to be a go-go dancer at age five, and has multiple pairs of go-go boots...and she spied this gorgeous girl. the real miss go-go is significantly older than the wife, but no less beautiful. she is a 1953 chesapeake bay deadrise tied up at tiffany yachts yard on the great wicomico river, where she was completely renovated and glassed in 2004. super sweet, just like the wife.
took a paddle on the great wicomico today...such a beautiful body of water with unbelievable boathouses (although, completely polluted with pcb's: do not eat the fish out of this river!} stumbled upon an amazing farm with a great piece of land, gorgeous house with awesome boathouse and three unbelievable tiffany boats: two skiffs, and one deadrise. tiffany yachts was probably 4 miles down the river from this place: wish i had my iPhone out of the hatch to snap some photos! above is a 16' tiffany skiff for sale via yachtworld.com that really isnt any where near as nice as the two i saw, but sort of represents the design aesthetic of tiffany yachts. tiffany no longer offers the skiff anymore, but i am sure they would do it custom. this is american craftsmanship at its best!
