SEEKING SAILING FRIENDS

I sail 4 or 5 times a week.  If it is a nice day and the wind is up I’m going sailing. While my boat is easy to handle and I can and do single hand it, I would rather have company when I sail. If you enjoy sailing and would like to experience sailing on a really great  boat contact Tom Doyle at 860 912 3050.

Bagatelle is for sale


L. Francis designed a number of boats he called Maine day boats. Aramenta and Quite Tune were a couple. Big day sailors with enough accommodations to be comfortable. If a day sail was just too good to turn back you could keep on going, drop the hook overnight and return the next day or next week. I like that concept.
Bagatelle was designed with this in mind. An easy to handle day sailor, a not too serious racer, and an occasional cruiser.
Cold molded hull, foam cored plywood deck, foam cored fiberglass cockpit and deck house, fractional carbon B&R rig, self tacking jib, stainless steel keel fin with lead bulb. The keel has a trim tab and dagger board. J

ib is roller furled and the main is roller furled on the boom. Get underway in 10 minutes and put away in 10 minutes.
