Tom Voccola bought SeaFever, Mercer Boatwork's 4th 44, from dear friends Alex and Penny Haughwout in 1988. Tom learned to sail on SeaFever and Alex asked him to buy her when his sailing days were over -- Tom couldn't resist. He sailed her all over Long Island and the East Coast and bought a house and a dock in Milford, CT just to house her.
In 1993 he moved to California and he trucked SeaFever out in 1997. Sitting for four years in the water took its toll so Tom began to completely restore her 2 years ago doing all the work himself. So far he's replaced all the rigging, much of the deck, the dog house windows and hatches. He's currently is renewing the interior with new electrical, plumbing and is now installing a booth on the starboard side, replacing two of the bunks.
She currently resides at Ventura Isle Marina in Ventura California. As an aside, Sea Fever Gear in North Chatham, MA was started by Pixie & Penny as a tribute to their beloved family boat.
Here are some pictures of SeaFever:
