1985 Custom Thomas Colvin "Pipistrelle"

A 50-foot steel hermaphrodite schooner built in 1985 by Island Star Marine to Thomas Colvin's "Pipistrelle" design, this yacht offers classic lines and traditional rigging. She cruises at 8 knots under power from a 43-horsepower Alaskan Lugger diesel engine, with a 13.5-foot beam suited to blue-water sailing.

The accommodation plan includes one head and sleeping berths distributed throughout the interior. The schooner's design prioritizes seaworthiness and comfort for extended cruising, balancing classic aesthetics with practical living space.

The steel hull and rigging reflect quality construction typical of custom builds from this era. A 2023 survey has been completed and is available for review.
