Sailor's Downeast Cruiser

Now here's a "salty" downeast style express cruiser in excellent condition that a gentleman yachtsman "retiring" from sail could move into for more comfort in their later years and still retain their dignity with their mates that are still under sail. No more runny noses or wet cockpits!

 This 1999 Sabreline 36 MK I diesel express cruiser is an excellent example of downeast Maine craftsmanship blended with modern construction resulting in a vessel of timeless style and class that should make any gentleman yachtsman a proud owner. She has the optional 315 Hp Yanmar engines, an inverter, generator, and air conditioning. She is in excellent condition and her hull has just been repainted with Flag Blue Awlgrip 1/11 and shines like new.

She is for sale. Call Craig at (813) 340-0227. See more details at Yachtworld.com YW# 77008-2368999.

 

Michael Jones Boat Builder

Back in April I had the pleasure of meeting Michael Jones a carpenter and boat builder who was showing his modified Windmill at the Cortez Classic Small Craft Festival. Mike worked with Clearwater Marine Ways for many years. Here are a few shots of his creations.

Elegant Sakonnet 23

I have seen this Sakonnet 23 around Tampa Bay several times in the last year or so and I was fortunate enough to catch the owners putting her on her trailer and meet them. The Sakonnet 23s were built by Edey & Duff out of Mass.. They also built the Stone Horse, the Dovekie, The Shearwater, and the "Fatty Knees" dinghy in fiberglass among others until they closed their doors last August. The molds were sold to Marshall the builders of the Sandpiper, Sanderling, and the Marshall 22 cat boats and they are producing the Sakonnets now.

This Sakonnet has an electric motor and is in yacht condition. I hope to post more about her soon in the Yacht Collection section of the main Salty Yacht Project website.
