Dulcinea is an incredibly beautiful boat in excellent condition. Designed by L. Francis Herreshoff, she was built in 1983 by Hank Chamberlain on Lopez Island in Washington State of clear Honduran mahogany on oak frames. Built faithfully to Herreshoff’s design with the addition of a sliding cabin hatch cover and elimination of the forward deck hatch, she is simply finished with a beige deck, white topsides, varnished mast and coamings and oiled cockpit interior. Deck, topsides, bottom and masts were recently professionally refinished. There are no thru-hull fittings and no electronics other than an electric bilge pump. Because it is not very old, has simple finishes and a full mooring cover (including mast cover sleeves) it is surprisingly easy to maintain for a traditionally built wooden boat.
Remarkably good in both light and heavy air, the Rozinante has a superb cockpit that comfortably accommodates up to six, but is easily single handed. Delightful to sail, she is quiet, responsive and forgiving, yet has clocked 7.5 knots by GPS on a broad reach in 15 knots of wind. First described in the book “The Compleate Cruiser” the Rozinante likely best represents Herreshoff’s personal philosophy, and he was having one built at the time of his death.
The 4hp Johnson outboard mounts on a removable bracket; diesel installations upset the boat’s balance, add drag when sailing and intrude on the cockpit. The original Hasse & Petrick sails are in excellent condition and it has the Herreshoff specified 9 foot oar which will propel the boat at about 1.5 knots in calm water. The interior has two berths, a small galley cabinet, port-a potti, manual and electric bilge pumps.

December 11th, 2011 by commandermatthewHi, I am looking for a Schooner about 65′ to 75′ that is in need of a good boat builder. I live by Seattle WA. I want something that I can repair and work with. Not afraid to go to the east coast for the right schooner. When finished, I will be living aboard and traveling in deep waters. And of course, in this economy money is tight but, the future is favorable as are the winds. You can contact me by email: commandermatthew@yahoo.com or call: 1-360-683-8088

 $6,500
I am offering for sale my 1963 Herreshoff Ketch. She is a modified H28, also know as a Far East 29, I believe. She was built in Yokosuka, Japan in 1963. The Far East modifications are 8″ more freeboard and a doghouse, that together give 6’3″ headroom. They raised the mainmast 2’9″, added a bowsprit, and gave her a masthead rig.
I have decades of service records on hand that document her regular haul outs.
some features:
inboard Yanmar diesel engine, runs great
3 burner propane stove and oven
propane heater
spinnaker
mizzen staysail
scanmar self-steering windvane
full boat cover
tropical awning cover – an awning that can be rigged to hang from the masts, shading the cockpit
transferrable slip in an excellent small Sausalito marina, a hidden gem with low rates and great parking
She comes with a handbuilt wooden dingy, called a nutshell pram, built by the previous owner (see here for what a nutshell pram looks like: http://lapwingmarine.com/green_witch_chronicles/nutshell_pram/nutshell.htm)
For a flickr set, click here: http://www.flickr.com/photos/bryanjwelch/sets/72157625006082027/
With the intention of a swift sale, I will be showing her by appointment all this week and weekend. Please drop me a line to arrange for a viewing, or call/text 415 627 7966 (no voicemail). Ask for Bryan.

$10,000 firm
One of a kind, the Spaulding 33, has proven to be exceptionally seaworthy and easy to sail, and—not surprisingly for a Myron Spaulding design—competitive on the racing scene, as well. This particular example of a Spaulding 33, Pegasus, was built by Michael Schnapp in San Francisco in 1962.
Pegasus has a hard chine hull planked with medium density overlay plywood with sawn frames and plywood gussets at the chine joints.
The engine is a yanmar, practically new.
Pegasus is an extremely well crafted vessel that has seen high standards of care and continues to be structurally sound vessel. It has been protected by a full cover and has benefited from the cool, moist climate typical of the San Francisco Marina.
For detailed information call and visit her at the Spaulding Wooden Boat Center dock in Sausalito.

October 29th, 2011 by japleyBULLFROG is a rare item-the personal design and sailing vessel of one of the world’s great naval architects.
This is the namesake/first boat of design #114, built in 1947 alongside his then-favorite GLEAM. BULLFROG is 30 feet on deck, 36 feet overall, gaff rigged cutter double-ender and is fully outfitted. Built in Seattle by Lester & Franck Boat Company in 1947 as a very personal project (early and possibly first collaboration with the famous Vic Franck, a boatbuilding team to last a half-century), and sold and delivered to a new owner shortly thereafter in Los Angeles, it is well documented as one of his favorite vessels of his career (only three boats are noted by name in his biography at Mystic Seaport Museum). Articles featuring BULLFROG appeared in Yachting (1947 Aug p.79), Yacht Designs (p. 90 and 1977 revision p. 60).
Constructed of solid oak frames, yellow cedar planked, and iron fastened with a fir deck. Refastened in 1986, and a new Perkins diesel installed that year. Hauled and bottom work just six months ago, and currently in the water on the San Francisco Bay.
Could use additional intermediate level woodwork, paint and standing rigging to complete the beautiful restoration. Asking $14,000 but can afford to be somewhat flexible in order to move her into the best care–call and let’s discuss. Please contact John at (510) 599-0252

This is a 14′ lapstrake planked skiff hand crafted to the design of Richard Kollin. Strakes are of Western Red Cedar, the hull is planked in Port Orford, frames of white oak, seats, risers and other accoutrements in Doug Fir and yellow cedar. Complete with sprit sail rig, dagger board, and rudder, she is a great day sailer and an excellent pulling boat. Would be a great tender for those appreciative of traditional craft, and a great stand alone boat for day sailing, picnics, and short bay-cruising journeys.
Sails best with a crew of 1-3, rows up to 4.
Comes with trailer.
Registered.
I built her a year ago and am only selling to make room for my next project.

Built to the design of Robert Morris, these Canadian style skin-on-frame canoes are hand crafted of Alaskan Yellow Cedar, Western Red Cedar, and Douglas Fir. They are as light, beautiful, easily portaged by one person, and they float on the water like a leaf! And the translucent skin is an eye-catcher! I need to sell them to make room in my shop for building more.

She sails well but I cannot give her enough time on the water and would rather see this beautiful vessel sailed as it should. Her max speed would be about 7 knots, I have sailed her faster than that and it was an awesome ride. She is a modified H28 with a raised doghouse giving lots of headroom.
H-28 is a well-rounded, sensible cruising ketch whose main virtues are old-fashioned simplicity, a balance of characteristics avoiding extreme forms, and solid seamanship. She was designed by L. Francis Herreshoff (LFH), son of the more famous Nathaniel Herreshoff. This vessel was built by Bay City Boatworks in Michigan which had built wooden boats from the 1890s including for the Kennedy’s.
LFH published the design for H-28 in The Rudder magazine in 1942. Original H-28s
were built by amateurs and boatyards all over the world. A lot of GIs kept dog-eared copies of the magazine in their pack with dreams of building one after the war. It said that 10,000 were built worldwide, and that more H-28s have circumnavigated the world than any other single design.

September 13th, 2011 by kleemanFor sale a 1939 Edson B. Schock 40ft LOA, Cutter rigged sloop — Dark Star,
Asking $15k (or $22k with a permanent slip at pier 39)
We sadly need to part with our beloved boat Dark Star, a classic 1939 cutter rigged sloop currently docked at Pier 39. Dark Star was built in 1939 by Edson B Schock (who also built Bright Star and Cherrio II), she has spent a great deal of time in the Bay Area and has been, and currently is, entered in the Master Mariners Benevolent Association.
Dark star is ready to sail, with no major projects required. We recently finished an extensive refit which included adding sisters to 8 frames, refastening several planks, and re caulking. Of course like all wooden boats there are several small projects that would add to her value considerably. Some example projects include; fixing a damaged section of the bullwarks and a damaged sampson post, fresh varnish in sections of cockpit, and improving the battery charging system.
Why are we selling her? Four of us bought the boat and have sailed/worked on her over the past two years. Two of the owners are leaving the bay area (one for a girl, one to go cruising) and in turn we’ve decided to pass her on to the next owner.
A recent survey (2010) valued the boat at $35k (available upon request), we’re asking significantly less that this ($15k) in hopes of a quick sell, and know there is a bit of cosmetic work required to get her in pristine shape.

Trying to find a new home for my 1953 40′ racing sloop. Designed by Eric Cox and built by Robert C. Mahan in Wellington, New Zealand. 40′ LOA, 8′ beam, 6’9″ draft, low freeboard, nice lines, great upwind boat. Purchased her in NZ in 2007 where she had been left sitting for a few years after owners lost interest in racing her. Gave her a minor refit (new standing rigging/ chainplates/deck paint, etc.) before sailing her with a friend to Tonga, and then single-handed from Tonga-American Samoa-Hawaii-San Francisco. Amazing boat for cruising the bay, still take her out often and get plenty of compliments, but way behind on maintenance and not enough disposable income. Interior is bare-bones and not roomy, built as a bay racer so lots of wasted space. Bukh 20hp diesel that runs and gets her in/out of the slip. Would love to see her keep sailing, and would be a great boat for the right person, so I’m willing to giver her away FREE to the right person. NOT an ocean cruiser, NOT a liveaboard, just a great classic wooden racer.
