Teal
Length: 28′
Beam: 7’2″
Donor: Richard J. Munro
Although Teal may seem indistinguishable from many of the antique and classic boats on display, she was built in 1988 by Gar Wood Custom Boats of Brandt Lake, NY.
Teal is a wonderful example of how modern craftsmen are able to marry traditional design and modern technology to build both beautiful and resilient wooden boats. The hull was lofted and reproduced from a 1937 triple-cockpit Gar Wood model. By book-matching the Honduras mahogany planks, just as it was done at the Gar Wood factory, the hull planking appears identical on each side. Gar Wood Custom Boats make faithful reproductions like Teal as well as classically-styled runabouts of their own design.
