I live in Gulfport Mississippi and there was a wonderful yacht named the Francis Fayard (she looked like a Trumpy build but not sure). Sadly she was not kept up and sat across from the GYC with a bilge pump going 24/7.
When Hurricane George struck in the late 90's she had been taken to the industrial seaway channel in back bay to ride out the hurricane and in the night the pumps failed and she sunk. From what I understand she was not insured and the owners did not want her. Someone else wanted to salvage and restore her but sadly when they where bringing her up (she sunk with her bow in the mud and her stern sticking up out of the water), someone not knowing what they were doing ripped her stern off and that was it...
I was wondering if anyone is familiar with this boat. She appeared to be a late 30's to 40's model but had a good length to her, at least over 50 feet from my memory.
It may be that she was not a Trumpy (but after looking at many pictures of other Trumpys the style is just remarkably close). It was often said at the Yacht Club that she was the sister ship to the Presidential yacht but they looked nothing alike.
If anyone here knows anything about the Francis Fayard (I think she was a one owner). Please let me know, and if she does turn out to be Trumpy I thought you might want to add her to the list of great ladies that have been sadly lost…
Thank you.
Pamela

I imagine that the presidential yacht added the top deck when it was restored for tour reasons.. it definitley was the sister ship.. you can look at the kennedy's yacht and besides the top level, it is identical

Yes it was indeed the twin to the presidential yacht as I saw them side by side in Biloxi Harbor in the early 70's. I cruised on the Francis Fayard in the gulf with guests such as Alan Thicke (off Growing Pains TV show). She was quite a yacht, but in unkept condition. She sank down from my parents house in the industrial canal and I was very saddened when crossing the Lorraine road bridge you could look to the west and see her lying there for quite awhile before they demanded that she be moved because the ownder would not do anything for her. Afterall Francis Fayard was up for sale for a long time sitting there as you described in the end slip by the rock pile in Gulfport Harbor. It was a sad way to go. But the Fayard moving and storage seemed to be doing just fine, just not fine enough to care.

I personally took the Francis fayard out several times and yes she was the sister ship of the Honey Fritz. I grew up on this boat , Mr fayard died before he could have her raised I have video and pictures of some parties we had it is a dang shame they destroyed her

I have recently come into possession of the Wheel of the Francis Fayard. I would love to talk with anyone with some history on this beautiful boat.

I have recently come into possession of the Wheel of the Francis Fayard. I would love to talk with anyone with some history on this beautiful boat. My name is Cindy Fayard and my father, Ed Fayard was the last captain of the Frances Fayard. I grew up on that yacht and can tell you anything you would like to know. He almost drowned trying to save her in hurricane George. |

The Frances Fayard was originally the Mariposa of 1923 built by Mathis at 80 feet LOA. Cindy Fayard, I sure would like to have a digital photo of her.
