BELLE photos from the Chesapeake

BELLE's new owner sent a couple of photos from her new home down in the Chesapeake...many thanks to him!

At her new dock.

That's the Chesapeake Bay Bridge way off in the distance.

BELLE has been sold

This will probably be the last post on this blog, since I just sold BELLE to a gentleman who will sail her in the Chesapeake.  I'm hoping he emails me a snap or two, it would be fun to see her sailing in unfamiliar waters (I've been to DC but never sailed in that area).  Fair winds and tides to him...and to BELLE in her future adventures!

BELLE is For Sale

UPDATE:  BELLE has been sold to someone who will sail her in the Chesapeake!  Many thanks.

Well life has been pretty crazy lately and I've decided to put BELLE up for sale.  You can find out more here:

She is located in Brooklin, Maine.  Local pickup only (or delivery within say 50 miles).

By far the best photo of BELLE was taken by Benjamin Mendlowitz for the 2015 Calendar of Wooden Boats: click to see a copy at his Facebook page.

I've really enjoyed sailing BELLE the last few years, and it will certainly be with a heavy heart that I will see her go.  But basically I need to "clear the decks" at this point.  I've got some nice sketches of a 20ft version with a small cabin, I'm hoping to build that at some point in the future.
