Yacht TARA
Tara a very special yacht listing comes available. Tara is just one of those rare occasions. She was built as a custom racer for John "Don" McNamara and designed by Bill Luders. Don McNamara was a bronze Olympian in 5.5 meters, co-captained the 12 meter "Nefertitti", and campaigned "Tara" in the SORC. He knew what he wanted in a racing boat. "Tara" is a beautiful example of the CCA rule of the sixties and still sailing and breaking hearts today. Comfortable on the race course, but also a comfortable cruising boat, An adaptive yawl rig makes her capable of easy handling with a shorthanded crew.

Sailing in Buzzard Bay
One of the most challenging and satisfying bodies of water to navigate on the East Coast. From Rhode Island Sound to Cape Cod, including the Elizabeth Island chain. From Rhode Island Sound to Cape Cod, and bounded by the Elizabeth Islands chain, Buzzards Bay offers lots of charming harbors and plenty of island hopping to keep you busy. Buzzards Bay is a great destination for weekend or weeklong cruising, and despite the name, you are not likely to see any buzzards along the way.
Buzzard Bay on a boat.
On a boat, we can enter any one of so many lovely anchorages and enjoy the tranquility of the surroundings, or the hustle and bustle of their population centers. Therein lies an advantage to enjoying these beautiful coastal regions from the water. Eleven coastal communities share the Bay. The city of New Bedford, Massachusetts is a historically significant port, known for its role as one of the world's most successful whaling ports in the early-to mid-1800s. The town of Marion is a port of another significance, being the jumping off point for several major racing events in the northeast. And Padanarum, if you can find it, is a charming village destination
