DRIFT

Yawl DRIFT

Drift is an International 500 Yawl, designed by Naval Architect Robert G. Henry and built in Bremen, Germany by Dutch yacht builder Johanne Dedood and Sohns. The International 500s are universally held in high regard as sea kindly and safe sailboats, large enough for a couple or small family to cruise in comfortably yet small enough to be a fun day sailor or weekender.

Built in 1963, Drift has benefited from a succession of caring owners that have all maintained her in consistently exceptional condition. Drift differs from other I-500s in that she had a new, lower and arguably more attractive mahogany deck house installed back in 2002 along with new teak decks and other upgrades.

The quality of materials, construction and craftsman ship is evident throughout Drift and attests to the fact this she has been well loved and cared for by her owners, past and present.

Drift often shows her transom to larger and newer yachts, frequently getting friendly, appreciative waves as she leaves behind what should be faster boats. Drift always garners admiring looks and comments wherever she sails and anchors.
