An absolutely exquisite Antique Commuter that doubles as an overnighter, this 1929 Elco "Thirty Eight", Two-Cabin Fast Cruiser, has been well cared-for and updated. "KaRaT" is a two-cabin fast cruiser built by the Electric Launch Company (Elco), the premier maker of launches and cruisers for prestigious customers, mostly based in New York City. Per the 1929 Elco brochure, the Thirty Eight is "Designed to meet the requirements of the Yachtsman who wishes to run his own boat, yet have the convenience and luxury of two separate cabains", "KaRaT" is a sister ship to the one used by Charles Lindbergh for his 1929 honeymoon with Anne Morrow. Formerly known as "Queenie", her previous owners toured her through New York, coastal New England, and through Ontario during their 40-year ownership. She has recently received a complete keel-up restoration to enhance her original look, gleaming mahogany and shiny brass hardware. In addition, her mechanical, plumbing and electrical systems have been modernized to allow for safe and comfortable long distance cruising in the 1000 Islands and beyond.
