34' Nielsen/Luke, Keel Yawl (1957) - ANNIE

ANNIE is the last of four K. Aage Nielsen coastal cruising yawls of the same design (251), all built by Paul Luke in the 1950s. Nielsen used his Pilot-class design for S&S as a starting point for these boats. ANNIE has been renovated over the last few years in Vineyard Haven, MA at Gannon & Benjamin with Myles Thurlow overhauling her rig. Originally SHAMROCK, she was previously homeported in Penobscot Bay as NAVIGATRIX.

At the 2023 WoodenBoat Show (Mystic Seaport) ANNIE was voted Best in Show for a professionally maintained sailboat.
