A SENSATIONAL Small Cruiser! A 1981 Sam Crocker 29' STUNNER. $17.5k | [[SOLD 10/17/25]]
This. Is. Boomerang. A sensational 29-foot Sam Crocker-designed cruiser (Design #286) built in 1981—and she’s a total stunner. At $17,500, this wooden beauty is one of the coolest boats I’ve stepped aboard in 2025. Small, but loaded for bear. She's ideal for a solo sailor, or a couple, and ideal for cruising the coast of Maine - and beyond!
Boomerang was built down in Salisbury, MA, and is based on Sam Crocker's design #286. She's constructed of pine on oak frames, copper riveted, and has Dynel sheathed decks and black locust trim. She’s been lovingly maintained, indoor-stored every winter for the past 15 years, and upgraded with a Westerbeke diesel (just over 500 hours) in 2010, Furlex roller furling, Doyle sails, solar panels, a Tiny Tot wood stove, refrigeration and more.
Canadian Ken couldn’t make it for this one, so it’s just me drooling over this Crocker 29 down in South Brisol, Maine.
