Overview

Magnificient Ocean Racer, WINDIGO was built by Henry Hinkley on Sparkman & Stephens design in 1956, for Hal Haskell of Wilmington, Delaware. 
In 2004 she received a prestigious restoration by the Classic Yachts Management and  Cantiere Sangermani. It was a respectfull and philologic operation.
All the inside parts were carefully removed, checked thoroughly, restored and put back together allowing the passage of new idraulic - electric systems. A new teak deck was layed on best plywood. A new 200 Yanmar engine was installed. New masts, standing and running rigging. A new session of restoration at Cantieri dell'Argentario in 2013 where all the mahogany hull planking was completely changed with thorough check, restoration or new construction where needed of frames and floors. Total fastening in silicon bronze screws.

The yacht is PERFECTLY MAINTAINED.
