"WITCH IS A CLASSIC YACHT WITH MODERN AMENITIES!!

This Elco 50' "Witch" is a Golden Age of Yachting classic. Launched in 1929, "Witch" cruised the East Coast of the US and was kept primarily in New York City until undergoing an extensive refit in 2004 and a further refurbishment and upgrade in 2013 by Walt Schulz of Shannon Boat Company. Though the restoration was extensive the original design and classic features were not compromised. "Witch" was awarded Best Restoration to Original Design at the prestigious Mystic Seaport, Connecticut Classic Yacht Show.
