Legend 1948 Shain Airflow Trimmership

Riva, Gar Wood, Chris Craft, Hacker Craft and Ditchburns have all created timeless wooden boats. Wooden boats are a classic piece of Lake Tahoe’s history. From the boat races of yesteryear between Henry J. Kaiser and Stanley Dollar Jr., to the exceptional craftsmanship of the historic Thunderbird yacht built in 1939, Lake Tahoe is synonymous with wooden boats. Each boat is iconic in its own right and Legend is no exception.

Legend, is a 1948, completely custom-built, vintage wooden boat, designed and built by Mike Shain of Shain Manufacturing based in Seattle, Washington. Her gorgeous construction consists mainly of mahogany, with some teak accents. Trimmerships were known for their eye-catching reverse “ducktail” transom, their art deco styling and teardrop inspired portholes. It has a striking windlass anchor that rests on the starboard side of the bow.

There is ample outdoor space for relaxing with friends or sunbathing on the roof or bow. There is a bimini over the outdoor seating. We can include the giant pink flamingo that can accommodate your entire party for lounging in the water. There is 1 restroom onboard and a built-in heater for cooler days and plenty of blankets to enjoy the breathtaking Lake Tahoe sunsets from outdoors.

The current owner of Legend, had her shipped from Port Orchard, Washington to her new home in South Lake Tahoe, California in 2019. Legend was kept in a boathouse for her entire life and meticulously maintained over the years. We are proud to bring yet another stunning piece of wooden boat history to Lake Tahoe.
