Built in 1924 in Massachusetts, berthed in Alameda.
Sterling Hayden, sailor, actor, and writer renamed the boat Brigadoon of Booth Bay and sailed her to the West Coast in the 1940s.
Brigadoon came to the Bay [of San Francisco] Area in 1960. She was sold to Dino Valenti of the Quicksilver Messenger Service in 1975.
Patti and Terry Klaus purchased the boat and rebuilt her over the years, and have been successfully racing and sailing her for the past 30 years.
Brigadoon has been the flagship of the St. Francis Yacht Club, the Master Mariners, and has been a consistent winner in MMBA, Jessica Cup Races, and has been a winner at the MMBA/Corinthian Wooden Boat Show held each June in Tiburon.
Brigadoon has been sailed by two generations of family and friends over the last 30 years, with the third generation starting to come aboard. The Klaus Family still owns Brigadoon. She is berthed at the family home in Alameda.
