PINTAIL, Contract #407, is one of only two large 84’ hulls built by Trumpy and the only one constructed in the cruiser configuration. The yacht was commissioned by Col. David Flagstaff and was originally named PINTAIL. She was later named ARAS, then ACHASTES, and then WISHING STAR in 1984 by Mr. Michael Eagan (Alamo Rent-a-Car); in 2024, she was returned to her original name.
Between 1997 and 1999, she underwent an exhaustive $2.2 million rebuild that restored her to virtually new condition in every aspect. Throughout her history, she has benefited from long-term ownership by dedicated custodians who consistently upgraded and improved the vessel. Two years ago, she completed an extensive yard period under the care of the experts at Bristol Marine Samples Shipyard facility in Boothbay Harbor, Maine, and she has continued to receive annual service and maintenance since then. Those inspecting her will find her in excellent mechanical and cosmetic condition, with updated systems and ready for immediate cruising.

A white wicker table and chairs serve as the centerpiece of the forward salon, surrounded by forward- and side-facing windows and generous aft storage. The wheelhouse is located further aft, followed by the salon, which opens to the aft deck through French doors.
A companionway aft in the salon leads to two twin-berth guest cabins forward with a shared head, and a beautifully appointed queen-berth owner’s cabin aft with an en-suite head. A spacious aft cockpit provides an ideal area for fishing or gathering for watersports.
