Build History as explained by Seller:
"Designed by Tony Skidmore, MINA of Vancouver BC in about 1977; the design was commissioned by Harmon and Hey, then living in Southern California. Jerry Hey was an experienced single-handed sailor whose boat was partially rolled in a near collision with a merchant vessel off the California coast, and the deck house was torn off. He commissioned the Tumbleweed design as flush-deck boat because of that experience. Tony Skidmore was also an experienced single-handed sailor, having sailed from England to Vancouver BC.
I was attracted to the modernity of the cold-molded construction, and purchased the plans in early 1979. I built the boat in three locations - a barn in Merrimack, MA, a boat shed in Hampstead, NH, and our present boat shed in Lincolnville, ME. The first two years involved a full traditional lofting, with the keel laminated directly over the lofting and the frames lofted over a mylar transfer on a plywood platform.
Construction then moved to Hampstead, NH from 1980 until 1996. In that time I build the hull upside down, turned it over and did much of the interior, then finally built the deck. When we moved to Maine in 1996 the hull was complete, including keel and ballast, and the engine was installed.
Construction advanced to the point of launching the boat in August 2000 at Rockport Marine, at which time the rig was installed and sails built. That year the boat was sailable but with much work remaining below. Since then a long series of projects has seen the completion of the interior and many improvements, the latest being updated water tanks.
I balanced all this construction activity with regular sailing on chartered or friends' boats, mostly in Maine. This experience strongly influenced the details I build into CEOL MOR."
Sailing Qualities:
These comments reflect both our experience and our age - we have been able to sail and enjoy the boat into our late 70s, although it is now too powerful for us to manage safely and prudently.
Maximum speed is about 7 knots, occasionally approaching 8 knots in a reach. The boat tacks through about 110 degrees. The boat has a comfortable motion in a chop, and moves well in any sea state we have experienced locally. The few times we have been caught out in stronger winds than we would like (up to 35 knots+) the boat has continued to behave well.
The boat sails best on its feet - we have found that taking a reef (around 15 knots) has the boat moving more comfortably, faster, and pointing better than hanging on. Our most pleasant experiences have been on Penobscot Bay in 12-15 knots.
All our sailing has been coastal sailing, mostly from Penobscot Bay to Frenchman's Bay. Our typical sailing vacation has been 10 days to two weeks, living aboard during that time. The boat is most pleasant for two people to spend time at a good anchorage or mooring.
I am sure the boat would do well for younger or more robust sailors anywhere, including blue water. It was designed as a blue water boat, and I feel it clearly has the qualities which would enable highly capable ocean sailing."

Our company was founded by Jack Hargrave in 1957 in Palm Beach, Florida. In addition to being a Hall of Fame yacht designer best known for his work with builders like Amels, Burger, and Hatteras yachts, Jack Hargrave was also a highly successful yacht broker, as was his father before him. If you are not familiar with our company, Hargrave Yachts is one of the oldest and most respected yacht brokerage firms in the State of Florida. In addition to being a full-service yacht brokerage organization we maintain an in-house service department that our customers rate as 5-Star. When most yacht manufacturers put in their own in-house design and engineering departments we made the decision to begin building yachts in the 65’-200’ size range under the Hargrave brand name in 1997. As we tell all our brokerage clients, "If we can't find the perfect boat for you we'll build it!"
