1940 Casey Boat Building 32' _{(9.75 m)} 37' Cutter

Hull Construction

BOLDWATER’s underwater configuration is best described as traditional with full fore-foot, full keel and keel hung rudder.

The original hull construction by Casey Boat Building Company (Fairhaven, MA) was traditional plank-on-frame construction with mahogany planking over white oak frames, backbone and other structural members.

As a part of a major restoration / refit at Zimmerman Marine (Cardinal, VA) in 1985 the entire hull was wooded and faired, (2) two layers of western red cedar veneers and a single (1) exterior layer of 8 oz. fiberglass cloth were applied (set in epoxy) to the hull exterior. This new cold-molded hull exterior was faired again (long-boarded), primed and a finish coat of Awlgrip paint was applied.

The result of this restoration / refit work is a hull that is dry, stronger than when originally built and with an exterior finish that is as good as (or better than) any other boat of any age or construction type. 

Deck, Cabin and Cockpit

Pine decks over white oak deck beams and cabin carlins.

Original decks, cabin tops, and cockpit sole and joinery overlaid with marine plywood and covered with two (2) layers of 10 oz. fibreglass cloth set in epoxy.

Decks, cabin and cockpit finished with Awlgrip paint.

Interior Layout and Accomodations

Comfortable cruising accommodations for two with option for two more when needed. The interior spaces of BOLDWATER are very nicely finished off in the Herreshoff style of white painted bulkheads, interior cabin sides and joinery fronts accented by varnished mahogany trim, drawer fronts and table along with varnished mahogany and pine overheads. The white paint of this style makes for a very bright interior and this brightness is enhanced by numerous sources of natural light and ventilation such as bronze opening ports along the cabin sides and the opening overhead hatches in the main saloon and forward sleeping cabin.

Interior spaces on BOLDWATER are accessed by way of the companionway ladder from deck on center line. Access to engine room behind companionway ladder and galley counters. Galley areas to port and starboard of companionway ladder

Starboard Galley Area: Stainless steel sink basin let into countertop with dry good storage under counter and well insulated / refrigerated (Norcold 12-volt refrigeration) ice box also under counter. Storage drawers located under counter and the is additional storage for plates, bowls and glassware outboard.

Port Galley Area:  Gimbaled two (2) burner propane stove and oven. Dry goods and pots& pans storage under counter and outboard of counter.

Next forward is main salon with settee seating / berthing port and starboard separated by a centerline drop leaf table with storage outboard in drawers and lockers. Additional storage in custom cabinet on starboard forward bulkhead.

Going forward from the main saloon there is the passageway to the forward sleeping cabin with a large hanging locker to port and head enclosure to starboard
