ULTRA-RARE CLASSIC DAYSAILER FOR SALE – The Muscongus Bay 18 "Tracie"
Sailboat lovers, this is no ordinary daysailer. Meet the Muscongus Bay 18, a stunning fusion of classic lines and modern performance, inspired by the legendary Buzzards Bay 14 but built for speed and agility. Designed for lake sailing yet fully capable of handling coastal waters, this beauty stands among legends like the Herreshoff 12.5, Haven 12.5, and Dark Harbor 17.5.
DESIGN EXCELLENCE – POLISHED BY INDUSTRY LEGENDS
This isn’t just any one-off custom sailboat. The Muscongus Bay 18 was refined by some of the best in the business:
* Ed Joy Design – Known for world-class yacht designs and craftsmanship
* Bruce King (Ericson Yachts) – A legend in creating elegant, high-performance sailing yachts
* A ONE-OF-A-KIND BUILD
Only two of these masterpieces were ever built. The boat for sale, "Tracie" (2011 Muscongus Bay 18), is an ultra-lightweight carbon fiber daysailer, paired with a carbon fiber mast for optimal performance. Her sister ship, "Raven," was built in fiberglass, with both designed to launch a one-design fleet.
BUILT WITH EXPERT CRAFTSMANSHIP
The construction of "Tracie" was entrusted to some of the finest boatbuilders in the industry, including:
* Marine Professionals
* Englishman Marine
* French & Webb (famous for their exquisite wooden boatbuilding expertise)
* ELECTRIC POWER & MODERN TECH
"Tracie" is equipped with a silent, eco-friendly electric motor, making her perfect for smooth harbor cruising when the wind dies down.
ORIGIN & CAPABILITIES
Despite sharing its name with the Muscongus Bay between Penobscot Bay and Johns Bay, this boat's true roots lie in Damariscotta Lake, Maine, in an area called, you guessed it, Muscongus Bay —where its designer sailed throughout his life. But make no mistake—this is no pond boat. The Muscongus Bay 18 is fully capable of handling lakes and coastal waters, thanks to its modern underbody and seaworthy construction.
This exclusive 2011 Muscongus Bay 18 "Tracie" is now up for sale at $65,000 firm. And if you want to continue the dream of launching a one-design fleet, the original boat mold is also available!
