Triton #93 History

Post by Jim Meyer »

I just purchased Triton hull #93 from Jim Bartlett in Redwood City. I understand it has been around awhile (nearly 50 years). I'm hoping to hear some stories about her if anyone knows the boat. I previously owned an Endurance 35. She was made from Corten steel and when I decided to get a boat again I was only interested in sturdy boats...which led me to my Triton Windswept. I think the smallness is growing on me. I really like her. This is a great forum; really well managed and you folks are very interesting.

Welcome!

I thought "Windswept" sounded familiar, so I went and poked around the National Triton Association website. They list a #92 as "Windswept" belonging to Jim Bartlett. I wonder if they have the number wrong? Or perhaps he owned two different "Windswepts." You never know with Tritons :)

Here is the photo of #92 from "Triton's Afloat" on the site; is this yours?

She looks good in red!
