Cape Cod Boat Brokerage Service and Listings

Building dreams that last a lifetime

Pleasant Bay Boat and Spar offers a brokerage service, listing your boat on our web site, and with other resources if available. We work with the seller to match the most suitable buyer and price to the boat. We pride ourselves on the concept of matchmaking and not merely selling boats. As builders of the Classic Cat and Baybird and because of our network of customers and friends, we are particularly well suited to broker these boats.

Marshall Sanderling

1976 Marshall Sanderling for sale: This boat is in fair condition, but will need some refinishing and a new mast. The hull, deck and cockpit sole are in sound condition. Wood trim is fair but can be easily obtained directly from Marshall Marine for replacement if necessary. The trailer is homemade and unregistered. There is an outboard but it might be suspect and therefore not a consideration.

Asking $7,500.00 less the cost of a replacement mast.

A new mast collar was made and installed also. The cockpit has new trim of teak with seats with riser tabs. All hardware including cabin lights, port, starboard and running lights were replaced. The Yanmar diesel engine was re built and re wired with a new glass fuel tank. The deck and hull was finished with Awlgrip paint.

Cold Molded Baybird

Starling is hull # 1, a cold molded Baybird built by Pleasant Bay Boat and Spar Company in 2009. The lines were taken off one of the last of the original wooden Baybirds and redrawn, capturing the essence of the original Starling Burgess design. Featured in Wooden Boat Publications 2010 Small Boat Magazine, she also won Best Professionally Built Sailboat at the 2010 Wooden Boat Show in Mystic, CT.

Starling is built to our highest standards, cold molded with cedar strips overlaid with two layers of 1/8" Spanish cedar cross diagonally set in West System epoxy, then sheathed inside and out with Dynel fabric. This building process results in a strong but easily maintained hull with almost all the attributes of a wooden boat.

The seats are our standard slatted cedar, unfinished. The trim is mahogany finished in Cetol, with unfinished teak rails.

The rig is our standard hollow fir mast and gaff with a solid fir boom. Standing rigging is made up of Amsteel synthetic line and Colligo fittings, replacing the traditional stainless steel wire and turnbuckle arrangement with a more modern technology.

Read more about the Baybird on our web site under Production Boats or visit our Baybird Facebook Page. This boat comes with a Quantum Thurston mainsail and jib, cut in 2010.

Asking $27,000.00

SOLD!

Rhodes 19

Hull # 1645 keel Rhodes 19 is being offered for sale. Hull was finished with Awlgrip in 2004. At that time the bottom was stripped and the keel faired. Sailed and raced successfully in Provincetown since 2005, this boat has been yard maintained and updated by professional riggers.

This boat is in very good condition; having had floor frames replaces, keel sand blasted and rigging thoroughly inspected. The hull has some scratches which are in keeping with Awlgrip and continued use.

The boat comes equipped with spinnakers, spinnaker pole, all running rigging; Mark Lindsey designed rudder made in 2010, plus miscellaneous gear. No mainsail or jib available.

Comes with trailer

Asking price: $5,000.00

Lightning

This Lightning was built by Skaneateles Boats Company in Skaneateles, NY, allegedly in 1939, which would put this hull in among the first boats built. In researching the history of this particular boat, we learned that is was moored on or near Strong Island in 1939, and was soon wrecked by a storm, and lived in a barn for the next 50 or so years.

How Seth got it is another story. In 2006, we reluctantly agreed to work on what looked like a filthy, broken down old boat. The inside was caked with mud and leaves, and chock-a – block full of parts from two different boats. We had to do some serious CSI work in order to establish which parts went with this boat. Part of the story included a second hull that was used to repair the first. What we discovered was a marvel of boat building ingenuity: beautiful wide white cedar planks and well fitted swan frames juxtaposed with pattern-cut trim screwed to the hull. The rig was all Monel and bronze fittings, all well thought out and well crafted, as one would expect from Sparkman and Stephens.

In 2010 we built a new hollow box section mast, and boom. This boat has been yard maintained since re-launching in 2006. The deck had been seriously damaged and the current repair could be improved considerably. Beyond that, this boat is in pristine condition and currently up for sale. Included are a sail, full cockpit cover, rudder, tiller, and a very old but serviceable trailer.

Asking Price: $7,500.00

Thompson Skiff

This is a 21'4" center console that we built at our old shop under the old name of Marine Restoration in 2004-05, after the infamous Tolman Skiff which we took the liberty to modify and improve the construction while keeping true to the original designs.

The construction is glued plywood over a traditional stem/keelson/transom backbone. The structure is vertical grain Douglas fir. The plywood is BS 1088 Meranti, sheathed inside and out with 10oz cloth and biaxial on seams. The side decks are framed and sheathed in plywood and epoxied cloth, trimmed out with laminated mahogany coaming.

Power is a Yamaha 2004 115HP. The leaning post and center console are stock items.

This is a very sea worthy but simple skiff, easily trailered, with a modified Vee hull shape drawing only 12" making it the perfect all weather boat. Hull displacement is 1600lbs.

Asking Price: $35,000.00 complete
