About
Introducing the remarkable "INVADER," a stunning Gaff Schooner crafted by G. LAWLEY & Son Corporation in 1905. This exquisite vessel boasts an impressive overall length of 49 meters, showcasing its majestic presence on the water. Constructed with a robust steel hull and featuring a full keel, the INVADER is designed for stability and durability. Powered by a powerful Caterpillar 3406E DI-TA inboard engine, delivering 700 horsepower, this yacht promises a thrilling experience on the open seas. The vessel is equipped with a hydraulic windlass, enhancing its functionality and ease of operation. Accommodating up to three cabins and three heads, the INVADER ensures comfort for all guests aboard. This antique beauty combines classic charm with modern engineering, making it a perfect choice for those seeking adventure and elegance on the water. Experience the allure of maritime history with the INVADER, a true gem in the world of classic yachts.
The story of the restoration of S/Y Invader is as remarkable as the yacht herself. Conceived by the nephew of the great Nathanael Greene Herreshoff, heir to the spirit and vision of the legendary “Wizard of Bristol”, Invader embodies the very essence of a golden age of yacht design. Her sweeping lines, crowned by an almost 87-foot main boom and a 40-foot bowsprit, give her a presence that is as commanding as it is graceful, matched only by her sublime performance in light airs.
Like all true icons, Invader’s past is woven from triumph and adversity, from the glitter of film stars and high society to quieter years of neglect and solitude. Now, following the passing of her most recent owner and a period of gentle repose, her heirs are ready to entrust this floating work of art to new hands, offering her at a level that invites both appreciation and stewardship.
For the sailor who dreams of owning one of the world’s great classic yachts — a vessel lightly used, rich in soul, and poised for a future of elegant racing and timeless cruising — Invader stands not merely as a choice, but as a calling.
