A Hand-Built Piece Of HEART & SOUL — PENOBSCOT 14
Some boats are purchased. Some boats are built. This one was loved into existence. ❤️
We are offering a beautifully handcrafted Arch Davis Penobscot 14 wooden boat, built entirely by hand by my dad. My dad poured countless hours of patience, craftsmanship, pride, and love into building this boat. Every piece was carefully thought out and built to specification. From the graceful wooden hull to the mast, rudder, tiller, and custom components, this boat reflects the hands and heart of the man who built it. He has since passed away, and letting go of something he poured so much of himself into isn't easy. But we would love for this boat to find a new home with someone who can truly appreciate what it is—not just a boat, but a beautiful example of traditional wooden boat craftsmanship. ⛵
Details Include:
- 14' Arch Davis Penobscot 14
- Hand-built glued-lapstrake wooden construction
- Brand-new trailer
- Quality sails with sailcloth made to the boat's specifications
- Maine-made wooden oars crafted from marine-grade wood
- Leather-grip oars
- Quality oar locks
- Hand-built mast, rudder & tiller, all made to specifications
- Built for rowing and sailing
This is the kind of boat that makes people stop and look. The craftsmanship, the woodwork, the details—and the story behind it—make it truly special. We're hoping to pass it along to someone who will take it out on the water, care for it, and create their own memories with it while carrying forward a little piece of my dad's legacy.
