For sale for a limited time only this beautiful daysailor designed by John Brooks, based on Herreshoff's design, the Somes Sound 12 1/2 is described as "the biggest little boat" and "the finest family boat ever developed". Handling well on both river and in open water.
The Somes Sound 12-1/2 has a centerboard with a shoal, she has been expertly crafted by the owner who has built many boats including schooners and is known as a perfectionist. Wishing to pass her on to a new owner who will appreciate the skill (and huge number of hours) that went into her creation. The construction being wooden and epoxy makes this a low maintenance boat that handles easily and well in open water and interesting conditions. You will find the Somes Sound 12-1/2 is a great teacher: willingly accepting beginners but rewarding capable sailors as well. The loads on the lines are small enough that young children can have a blast learning to sail their first real boat.
She moves right along, going where you want her to, making sailing her very satisfying she is worth far more than the very generous asking price that includes a trailer.
