KISMET

After a two-and-a-half-year refit that included frame repairs and layout alterations (including a 2′-longer cabin than the original), the Bill Garden-designed 27′ cruising troller KISMET was relaunched in early spring. In midsummer, she was on display at the 2025 WoodenBoat Show at Mystic Seaport, just upriver from Noank, Connecticut, her home port for the summer. This WoodenBoat Legends video, shot by Truman Forbes, showcases KISMET’s carefully conceived features and details.
