Georgia Girl

Paul Mann built the 81-footer Georgia Girl, the largest build ever from his North Carolina yard, to great acclaim. Georgia Girl has
a 23-foot beam, which allowed the designers to create an open, airy
interior, defined by hand-picked cherry veneer in the saloon and cabins.
The veneer saves precious weight but still adds an element of class.
The saloon includes a long island near the galley, with a granite
countertop and three seats for breakfast. The yacht’s inner curves and
stonework show the yard’s ability to craft a boat that is not only fast
(40-knot top end), but elegant. The profile, with the long forefoot and
tall helm area, also carries a Carolina classic look.

Vessel
is Captain Maintained by a knowledgeable owner who cares for her with
an open checkbook. If a maintenance item needed to get done, it gets
done. Georgia Girl has been a one owner boat since she was built and primarily used for light cruising to the Bahamas.

Award Winning Interior:

Georgia Girl won
the Cabinetry category and grand prize in the seventh annual Veneer
Tech Craftsman’s Challenge™, one of the most highly respected and
well-known craftsmanship competitions in woodworking. Besting over 60
entries, the 81-foot Paul Mann features hand selected plain-sliced
cherry veneer accented with figured cherry throughout the cabins and
saloon, pronounced to be an “elegant yet lightweight solution in a
marine project where weight is a significant consideration,” by Bill
Esler, associate publisher for Vance Publishing/Woodworking Network, and
publisher of Wood and Wood Products and Custom Woodworking Business, one of three judges for the 2011 competition.

How Does Georgia Girl Run?

This
boat rides smooth, goes fast and remains dry — hard characteristics to
combine in a boat this size. “You can make it light and it’ll ride
hard,” Mann says. “Or you can add weight to the boat and make it ride
better. But then the boat might throw water unless your running surface
is just right.” The water leaves the 81’s hull just about amidships,
keeping everyone dry. “This one reminds me of a 65 on steroids,” Mann
says.
