Schooner 1934

Set sail on an unforgettable journey through history aboard the 1934 85' Pankey Schooner Destiny. This stunning 85-foot staysail schooner is not just a boat; it's a magnificent blend of art and craftsmanship with a rich legacy tied to both Hollywood icons and naval lore. Once owned by luminaries such as Academy Award-winning writer-director Preston Sturges and the enigmatic mogul Howard Hughes, Destiny has gracefully navigated the waters alongside legends including Humphrey Bogart and John Wayne. After extensive refits from 2008 to 2011 and again with the current owners from mid 2020 to 2024, she remains a vessel of character and charm, upgraded to meet modern standards of comfort and safety. The meticulous renovations included hull planking, new masts, rigging, wiring, plumbing, solar panels, and all new Andersen self-tailing winches, ensuring no detail was overlooked. Every inch of Destiny reflects her storied past, from her elegant lines to the carvings left by US Navy sailors during her time as a scout boat in World War II. This classic schooner invites you to experience the thrill of performance sailing while immersing yourself in her captivating history. With a smooth and stable ride, she guarantees a comfortable journey, whether you're an experienced sailor or a newcomer eager to embrace the sea.
