Built primarily from wood, these yachts feature sleek profiles, white hulls and a classic, traditional aesthetic.During post-World War II years Trumpy yachts between 55 and 80 feet became exceedingly popular with many well-known, well to do Americans. Notable yachts and owners included the presidential yacht USS Sequoia which was the official presidential yacht from the 1930s to 1977. Other notable owners were E.F. Hutton, Howard Hughes, members of the Chrysler, DuPont and Drexel families.The Windrush was built in the finest of Trumpy traditions, with an oak keel and oak frames, mahogany hull, painted gleaming white (Awlgrip) with varnished mahogany and teak accents, sporting on the bow the traditional gold Trumpy scrolls.
