Gaff rigged wooden sailboat with trailer

Morgaine is a 17 ½’ overall centerboard sloop constructed by a professional cabinetmaker. It was designed by S.S. Rabl and it appeared in “Boatbuilding in Your Own Backyard” (Cornell Maritime Press). Its design was altered by a naval architect to be gaff rigged with a bowsprit and carry both a working jib and a Genoa. It has a sizeable cabin. Frames are of white oak as is the small flat bottom portion of the hull. Transom is solid mahogany. The hull is strip-built of quarter-sawn Catskill Mountain white pine. The edges were run through convex and concave shapers to accommodate hull curvature without gaps. The deck is also pine strip. Margin, coaming and king planking are mahogany. All assembly was done with marine epoxy or resorcinol resin. The hull is entirely covered with fiberglass and has acrylic marine paint above the waterline and antifouling coverage below. The interior is covered with multiple coats of clear marine epoxy. Rigging was done by Brooklin Boat Yard. Tanbark sails include a large Genoa and were crafted by a sailmaker also in Brooklin. It has a dismountable outboard motor rigging. It is well-ballasted with lead cast to fit below the floorboards in removable wooden boxes. It sails and motors well.
Price: $8,000. Trailer is included.
