Overview

ABSOLUTE, Contract #440, is a rare and exceptional 62’ Trumpy—one of the final eight ever built. Originally commissioned by Bayard Sharp of the DuPont family and launched as GALPO, this storied yacht has had a distinguished ownership history and has been lovingly maintained through the years. Now under the care of her sixth owner, ABSOLUTE has undergone a comprehensive refit that brings her impressively close to her original launch condition.

She is in exceptional structural, mechanical, and cosmetic condition, having undergone extensive upgrades, including a brand-new bottom, updated machinery, and fully modernized systems throughout. ABSOLUTE is turnkey and ready to cruise, awaiting only her next custodian to continue her legacy.
