“Powder Monkey” so named as she was built for the DuPont family who has supplied the US with gunpowder since the Revolutionary War “Powder Monkey “ was commissioned by the DuPont family whose renowned chemical company has supplied gunpowder to the United States armed forces since the eighteen hundreds. She is so named for the brave young sailor who would dare to carry a keg of gunpowder from the protected depth of the ship to the gun deck in spite of incoming cannon fire. Such gallantry would frequently be rewarded with early promotion. To this day an officer on modern US ships in charge of ordinance is frequently respectfully known as the “powder monkey”. This Herreshoff Haven is well built, cold molded and easy to maintain and sail. The seating is comfortable and all aboard are kept dry in spite of strong winds thanks to Herreshoffs classic signature, varnished mahogany combing.

Lana is a Biscayne Bay 14 designed by Nathanael Green Herreshoff in 1925. She is a Suicide class sailboat designed for shoal waters. N.G. Herreshoff was a naval architect, mechanical engineer and yacht designer who produced undefeated America's Cup defenders between 1893 and 1920. His designs are graceful, scientifically engineered and speedy. Those of the 2,000-plus designs by Herreshoff that survive, such as Lana’s, are sought by connoisseurs of classic yachts. Lana lives up to the Herreshoff reputation. She is a delight to sail, well behaved, suprisingly quick and yar, and beautiful! She is great here on the Cheaspeake Bay and tributaries, slipping gracefully between the barrier islands, looking for a secluded beach for a picnic. In 2017, Lana was built in Williamsburg by a master carpenter, the head of marine activity at Jamestown Colony and was number two in command of Pride of Baltimore. After we acquired her 2023, we gave her a new coat of paint and had her name done in gold leaf. Latell Sailmakers in Deltaville washed and went over the sails. We keep her inside in the off season and on a boat lift the rest of the time. Although she has a full cover on the lift, out of prudence we added garboard drains. Being that the only ones available that could be operated from inboard are huge, we hand-crafted them. The stem-head fitting for the forestay was suffering from metal fatigue, so we made a new one of naval brass, 464. It seems she had not been sailed very much, so there were adjustments needed to make sailing more comfortable. We adapted the tiller to hinge up, which is much easier on old folk, and made a custom tiller extension. The jib club was not included when we bought the boat, so we downloaded the original Herreshoff plans from MIT and made one from a nice piece of fir. With a new sheet and Davey & Co lignum vitae bullseye fairleads with bronze eye straps, the self-tacking jib is working beautifully. The main sheet was difficult to handle, especially from the port gunnel due to a bad lead. We added a fairlead block to ease the sheet properly into the cam cleat. That, another block for additional purchase, and a new lighter mainsheet has made the main much more manageable. We try to maintain her elegant provenance but have resorted to the occasional 316 stainless steel and polyester line here and there. Lana was designed to be sculled but the holes for the rowlocks had been cut, abandoned and filled, so we cleaned out the fill and installed new bronze rowlocks on the transom and bought a nice long oar. The tiller extension holds the rudder straight while you scull. She is ready for you to come aboard and enjoy making a lot of carefully built weight move beautifully!

Ninety year old guide boat built in 1934 by Wallace F. Emerson (1874-1953) in Long Lake, NY.

It was professionally restored by Mason Smith and is in excellent condition with all equipment included (oars, yoke and seat backs). Natural finish inside and out.

J. H. Rushton’s “Saranac Laker” or “Adirondack or Saranac Lake Boat”, as seen in Rushton’s Rowboats and Canoes, The 1903 Catalog in Perspective, published by the Adirondack Museum and International Marine Publishing, is one of the most-desired of guideboats, both by amateurs and by connoisseurs. Rushton’s shop in Canton, New York, built guideboats from 1888 to 1916, and his design went through three phases. This boat derives from the second period, 1891-92, when he hired a second Saranac Lake builder, Alric Moody, to oversee guideboat construction, a method very different from what Rushton’s craftsmen were used to. Few of Rushton’s earliest guideboats are known today. They had plank seats and square gunwales. They also had typical guideboat decks, let into the gunwales, with pie-slice covering boards, as does this boat. This boat’s caned bow and stern seats, and presumed caned seat-backs, mark it as being of the second period. The far more common boats of the third period, 1893 and later, have strip decks like those of Rushton’s Pleasure rowboats and rounded, or D-shaped, outwales.* So this is a very rare Rushton guideboat. It came down in a family that owned an extremely rustic camp, reached by water only, on South Pond, a particularly beautiful pond near the southern end of Long Lake. It was restored 20 years ago by Long Lake boatbuilder Mason Smith, father of Reuben Smith of Tumblehome Boatshop. Now it is for sale by the original owner’s family. Rushton’s boats in general are highly valued as antiques and as working boats. This boat is missing its original caned seat-backs, single-blade paddle, and yoke. (These accessories can be reproduced.) The price of $13,800 takes that into account as well as some non-original wood in its fabric. At 118 years of age it still calls for vigorous use and is decorative beyond words.

This boat is in beautiful condition and has always been kept covered Ina garage. There is not a ton of information available, but after consulting with a Thompson boat expert, we determined it could possibly be a family Row Boat, pre World War 2. The only markings on the boat are the metal Thompson Bros plate at the front of the boat.

This Crosby Sloop beauty was originally built by the late C Gorden Tucker . The sloop was slightly shortened to fit in his workshop barn the story goes . My son was given the boat from the late previous owner because she believed the soul of this sloop needed luv again . My son and I took on this restoration during the beginning days of Covid to not only help save the boat but also to keep us busy during those challenging Covid days . Thousands and thousands of hours went into this restoration over the course of four years . After many tears, frustration,determination and perseverance she is now complete. She has been saved . A we’ll known boat builder / sailor/ mayflower consultant said that “ you two boys turned her into a Show Piece “ !! We are now off to our next father/Son adventure project . We will only release this Precious Gem to someone we feel has the resources and passion to care for this rare sloop . I have documented ,and noted the restoration with hundreds of photos available from this project journey upon request .

Vintage cedar strip canoe! Own a piece of history! Beautiful, fully restored, 16-foot vintage canoe from the Chestnut Canoe Company, N.B. Likely the Prospector model with v-shaped transom stern. So smooth on the water. As you can see from the pictures, it’s in great shape. There is -- full-disclosure -- a damaged spot on the ribs near the bow, about the size of a lady's fist. It doesn’t affect the vessel's seaworthiness at all as it is near the rail and it isn’t big enough to affect the sturdiness of the structure.

This classic 18’ sailboat has been owned and operated on Lake George, NY for most of its life. The current owner purchased the boat in 1996 from avid sailors of the Lake George Club. The boat was used in many regattas, earning it the #2 Club Sail. The boat underwent a 2-year professional restoration immediately after purchase in 1996: including the replacement and refastening of all needed planks and frames. A new canvas deck and mahogany trim were installed, and a full repaint was done to bring the boat back to its original, classic glory.  This boat is the perfect addition to a summer on a lake. Includes a custom-made trailer.

In the Thousand Islands region of New York State, fishing guides in the late 1800s developed their own unique style of guide boat for the open waters of the St. Lawrence and Thousand Islands region. They featured double-ended lapstrake construction. The type is famous for its ease of rowing, tracking, and stability. This is a perfect boat for someone who wants to row in more open waters. This particular boat is a replica of a St. Lawrence River Skiff built around 1900 and now in the collection of Mystic Seaport Museum. She measures 14’ 10” long. The skiff is planked in Atlantic white cedar, with steam-bent white oak frames, white oak sheer strakes, rub rails, decks, and coamings. The planking is fastened with copper rivets. She has two rowing stations so the rower can balance rowing alone or with one or even two passengers. The skiff comes with one pair of oars. Douglas is willing to consider delivery to New England and northeastern New York.

Saved from the wood pile in 1989. Properly stored in barn until 2008. It has been professionally restored in 2012 by a retired boat builder, Kenneth Swick from Van Dam boat works in Michigan. It is approx. 85% original. Won 1st place in Finger Lakes Boat Show 2015, best preserved non-power category. Will be viewable at the 2023 Clayton, NY Boat Show.

The Whitehall Rowing Skiff combines the look and performance of a classic design. She’s fast, stable, and can carry up to three adults. Stunning craftsmanship! Prior to outboards, Whitehalls were the boat of choice for working harbors. Whisper is gorgeous and in excellent condition. Her riveted lapstrake construction is accented with cedar planks and well-maintained mahogany brightwork, seats, transom, and trim. Whisper is sold with her cradle, oars, and four oarlocks. She rows like a dream! Shew & Burnham Inc. (1968-2018) of South Bristol ME is known for their artisanship used in constructing more than 200 small traditional wooden boats. Whisper is located in Mid-Coast Maine.

"Glory" is a Fancy Boston Whitehall and a replica of The Bailey Boat that is on display in the Mystic Seaport Museum. The design dates back to the 1870's. This boat was referred to as a Fancy Whitehall as her scantlings are reduced to an absolute minimum and her hull lines are drawn extra lean and fine. Whitehalls were known for their breathtaking speed as well as being very seaworthy. This one has three rowing positions for 3 oarsmen or can be rowed using the single sliding seat rig mounted in the middle of the boat. A few years back she was used in the movie "Cannibals" which aired on the History Channel. In that movie, they jury rigged a makeshift sail and had 4 actors in the boat. Some of the photos are taken in calm waters in Oyster Bay L.I. The ones with the jury rig sail are taken off Lloyds Neck on the Long Island Sound with a nice breeze. The boat is built with West system epoxy, 2 layers of fiberglass cloth on the outside 1 layer of 6 oz. cloth on the inside. She has some very special details outlined in a separate list. The hull is all solid red cedar with fluted ash rails and spruce cove strip. Transom & bow seats are spruce to save weight in the ends, the center seats are ash frames with cane centers to save more weight. ( See list for other details ) I worked on this boat for a little over one year as I wanted every detail to be perfect. This is the st boat I've built and it's not easy to part with her. If you're looking for something very speciat, that turns heads, can hold 4 people or just go real fast in any weather this is the boat

This museum-quality Antique Guideboat was built in the 1880’s by William Martin, Saranac Lake, Franklin County, New York; a well known builder of these fine small watercraft. It is an excellent survivor in original condition. William Martin's boats were commonly referred to as ‘Eggshells’, due to his fine craftsmanship resulting in a 16’ boat weighing in at approximately 60 lbs which allowed a single Adirondack Guide to carry the boat over the many ‘carries’ connecting lakes and streams throughout the Adirondacks. It has been in the same family since the mid – 1960s always kept in an enclosed ‘dry’ Adirondack boathouse when not in use. It is reluctantly offered for sale and includes a set of 8’ oars and all the expected seating as well as a carrying yoke.

This beautiful canoe was made by the Kawartha Métis & N.S. Indian Association (Burleigh Falls, Ontario, Canada) in the 1970's.  Many aspects are very similar to boats built by Peterborough including the ribs, decking, and coamings. It is a fine example of Canadian craftsmanship and is in outstanding original condition. Enjoy a luxurious ride on your favorite lake or use this as a magnificent show piece for your home, B&B or business. This canoe has always been stored indoors, in temperature control and away from direct sunlight. Meticulously cared for over the years and maintained. It was last in the water in 2019 and is watertight and sea worthy. We're selling this beauty because although we love this boat we don't use it with our young kids and we're renovating and need the space. We hope it finds a new home that enjoys it as much as we have. 2 vintage wooden paddles are also included. Although not restored (one has a crack in the blade) they look good and are perfect for a simple DIY restoration project).

Cedar double ended rowing skiff with spoon oars with leathers. Boat came from Muskoka area. Had been owned by the Hand family then another party in Ontario. I got it about 20 years ago and subsequently had some strips, 1/2 keel and a stem replaced by the instructors at Urban Boatbuilders in St Paul. the outer hull was stripped and I varnished with Deks Olje. Our use at the cottage was great but our use is inconvenient by the repeated in and out with soaking when we would return after a few weeks away. Deck batten boards need repair or replacement. All original hardware including the rare foot brace. Interior and gunwales could/should be refinished. Has been in dry storage for 5 years. No trailer, can car top or fit inside a van. Wonderful rowing. Can assist with delivery.

This 26ft Crown Point Sailing Dory was built by expert craftsman Emerson Willard of Wilmington, North Carolina. The Crown Point design is a modern take on the Classic Dory.

Currently powered with a Mercury 210 c.c. outboard. She is in need of some cosmetic restoration at this time but believed to be all complete.

Murray Wright Rampage day sailor, 41, solid clinch-nailed mahogany and cedar boat. Elongated version of the popular K-Boat. Wright built only 6 of these boats, for friends and family, two were lost in a barn fire, and the three others are held by the Finger Lakes Boating Museum. Restored completely, ready to sail.

New custom made sail by Jon Greiner, also 41, restored trailer, 6 hp long shank Evenrude motor, recently serviced. All bronze hardware (that was TOUGH to find)! Many other items of sailing equipment included--a complete captain's bag. Ready to launch. Must see in person! Considering best offers. I bought this boat when I was going through some tough times. Working on the boat with my pop was one of my few pleasures. We remade the interior out of cherry, stripped it all down, recaulked it, refinished it, and I think we did a really good job on it. Epifanes on the deck & hull, Tonkinois on the interior. Rubberized calk. Unfortunately, now that it's more or less complete, I no longer have the time to sail it!

This canoe is very similar to a 1910s-1920s Old Town but was built by the B. N. Morris Canoe Company in Veazie, Maine in 1914. Morris produced wood and canvas canoes from 1891 until fire destroyed the factory late in 1919. The 17-foot Heavy Water canoe was apparently shipped to Maryland in 1915. It later found its way to the hands of a Warren Proctor, who owned a camp in northern Pittsburg, New Hampshire where it spent most of its life being paddled on the first Connecticut River lake. Upon his death, she was acquired by the current owner. It has been stored inside since. The factory green was repainted with a blue tone which is now cracked and in need of a refresh. The hull is in great shape, no cracked rips or internal damage. The keel is in good shape. The brass bow-strip has fallen off but is still with the boat. Original seats are intact. The hull serial number is 11755.

At one time the skiff may have had a sail. It has been restored on the inside and fiberglassed on the outside.

Steel manufacturing was quite an industry in the early 1900's, and manufacturers such as Mullins and F.H. Darrow took advantage of the growing market for watercraft and began to build marketable boats. F.H. Darrow Steel Boat Manufacturing Co. built this portable rowboat around 1915 when trailers were uncommon and the automobile was quickly gaining in popularity. They developed an ingenious design where a 16' rowboat could be broken down into 3 independent segments, nested one inside the other, and mounted on the running board of a car! Not only is the boat easily portable; each section can float independently. This design is very unique and represents an era when the concept of travel by road took off! She has been nicely restored and is complete with oars. Full documentation available.

We have the build sheet history and great memories of the canoe but are simply not using it any longer.

One of the real classic Canoes in the history of Ontario. This 16 ft Cedar strip Lakefield canoe was made in Lakefield, Ontario in the early 1900's.

Note the unusual architecture of the front and rear decks. Thought to be the "Torpedo" model . Excellent condition as an heirloom and as a fully functional and usable canoe.

Only 8 canoe's of this type in existence. Dan Harold built canoes from about 1869-1889. The reason his boats were so unique is that the outside bottom of the boat only consists of 6 cedar boards.
