The Capt. Ben Pine is a 36 foot wooden trawler that was built in 1961 by Tim McDonnell in Old Lyme, Connecticut.

The boat was designed by renowned naval architect Ken Smith who made his name designing the Grand Banks line of trawlers.

The boat was designed to the specifications of the original owner who was retiring from sail and wanted a sea kindly power boat for long range cruising.

She was the featured boat in the August 1965 issue of Yachting Magazine.

Newman and Gray had the good fortune of purchasing this one of a kind vessel in the winter of 2006.

Overall, the boat was in excellent condition for her age a testament to her diligent maintenance and fine original construction.

However, the boat interior and exterior were in need of scraping and painting after she had sat in storage for the previous eight years.

Over several months the Newman and Gray crew refinished the boat to the highest standards and the electrical systems were all upgraded.

As is evident from the photos the boat is a magnificent example of a classic wooden trawler.
