This ICONIC Sailboat Is For Sale!

PRICE DROP 07/11/2024: Now $12,500.

Check out this incredible find! We stumbled upon an iconic Friendship Sloop tucked away in a barn, and it's up for grabs at just $15,000. If you're a wooden boat enthusiast or have ever admired the elegance of a Friendship Sloop under sail, you won't want to miss this.

Friendship Sloops hold a special place in maritime history, originating as lobster boats and workboats in the late 1800s before transitioning into beloved coastal cruisers for recreational use. With their distinctive clipper bows and classic gaff rigs, they're a true sight to behold along the Maine coast and beyond.

This particular sloop, designed by Eldredge-McInnis and built in 1978 by J Phillips Ham in Connecticut, boasts a fascinating backstory. Once owned by former Senator Chris Dodd, who enjoyed sailing her with his friend Ted Kennedy, she later found herself in Boothbay Harbor, ME, serving as a tourist day-tripper. And in a weird Six Degrees of Canadian Ken, we discovered that he is related to one of the previous owners...

Now, after 15 years in the care of her current owner, she's seeking a new home. While she's been resting in the barn for the past 5 years, everything, including the 25hp Westerbeke engine, was in perfect working order the last time she sailed. The $15,000 price tag reflects the need for some TLC, but here's the good news: the owner is willing to let her stay in the barn until this summer or until his house sells, giving you ample time to get her shipshape.

For inquiries, contact Les Taylor at [email protected]. And remember, BoatFools Sailing has no financial interest in this boat— we're just thrilled to share this incredible opportunity with you.

Thanks for watching!
