My 19' sailboat is for sale
 

You can contact me for details. It's a Blackwatch 19' Cutter (19' on deck, 22' overall length with bow-sprit). Very traditional design, VERY well built. Sleeps two, porta potty, alcohol stove, sink. Powered by a 9HP Merc outboard serviced this year. All sails included. The boat is in very good condition. A terrific weekender. It is on a mooring at Pleasant Street Wharf in Wickford and I think the boat could remain there if sold this year. It is listed with a local broker. The price is VERY negotiable as my sailing days are over.http://www.striped-bass.com/Stripert...1&d=1189870688

Here's another photo. Draws 24" so she can be run right up to the beach. She'll handle rough weather and high winds. Three small sails all totally controlled from the cockpit. This is a very easy boat to sail single-handed. It is very rugged and extremely seaworthy. I'm just not using it. I've owned it for 5 years and before that I had a 29' sloop. Almost always single-handed both boats. Just gotten a bit too old nad am not using her so I'm hoping to send this great little boat to a good owner who will use her. http://www.striped-bass.com/Stripert...1&d=1189873126

Pretty boat, almost looks like a Catboat, except for the mast placement etc, what do you call that style of boat, not much of a sailor, but my father-in-law has a 22' Marshall Cat.

Good luck on the sale!

It's a design based on a Bristol Channel cutter / packet. It has a long squared off keel which allows it to sit upright in the mud/sand on a tide drop. The hull shape with the plum stem (bow) is very much like the Marshall cat hull except for the keel design. It is also beamy like a cat. the rig is a cutter rig instead of a gaff rig like a cat. The advantage is that there are two small fore sails, the roller furling jib and the smaller stay sail. Both can be completely controlled from the cockpit. The main is also not huge. I would have bought a cat boat, but I sailed single-handed and the huge sail on a cat requires a lot of work when the wind speed goes up. On this rig, the main has two reef points (jiffy reefing) and the two small sails up front, so the amount of sail that you have out is infinitely adjustable from the cockpit and it makes for a great single-hander. The way it's built, the hull construction, the bronze fittings and ports and the mahogany hatches and rails are very similar to the Marshall. It's just easier to sail in a blow when you're alone. I have talked with the builder and designer and an owner from the North West and these boats can handle serious weather.... 40 to 50 knots and not be overwhelmed. Not comfortable, but safe... if you stay aboard.
