Honey Fitz, named after President John F. Kennedy's maternal grandfather, who was mayor of Boston, was the eighth Presidential Yacht. She was built in 1931 as Lenore by Defoe Shipbuilding in the Great Lakes for Sewell Avery, chairman of Montgomery Ward. At 92 feet, she has one cabin. Mr. Avery obviously used the boat exclusively for entertainment purposes. Moores Marine specializes in antique and classic wooden boat restorations and is documenting the project week by week.
