This legendary 1937 Philip Rhodes designed 53 foot custom cutter rigged sailing yacht was commissioned at the
Stone Boatyard in Oakland, California. SENTA's original owner, K.K. Bechtel, Esq., commissioned Stone to build her
after seeing 1935 sistership Kirawan win the 1936 Newport to Bermuda race in her class. Warned that the build would
be costly, Mr. Bechtel gave Stone full reign to build, and even improve if possible. SENTA has been around the world
several times with a rich sailing and racing history. Her original build plans are in hand and her bulkheads and interior
are kept to the original design.
Gannon & Benjamin of Martha's Vineyard, a highly regarded yard for wooden sailing yachts, completed a major
rebuild in 1992. And in 2011, she was repowered with a 55hp Volvo Penta diesel engine along with new fuel tank and
fuel lines. SENTA has been maintained/serviced as needed by Snediker Yacht Restoration, Pawcatuck CT,
specializing in classic wooden boats. The most recent repair was to replace the stem and service all seacocks.
