The owner of Ginger has constructed a new boat and is clearly motivated to sell.

You can see her on display at the Maine Boatbuilders Show this weekend, March 16-18, in Portland, Maine. Coinciding with the show is the recent aggressive price reduction, plus new upgrades that include new Awlgrip paintjob (black topsides), new bottom paint (green), new mainsail by Doyle and new batteries. The price is for the boat rigged and ready to sail FOB Brooklin, Maine.

Built for High-Performance
Ginger is a high-performance beauty from the boards of Stephens, Waring, and White that, according to Sparkman & Stephens, "was built to the highest standards by Brooklin Boat Yard. In the tradition of the sleek and elegant square meter classes, Ginger sails effortlessly in all conditions while providing an exhilarating sailing experience for all aboard.

"Her cold-molded hull is built of Port Orford and Western Red Cedar," the S&S description continues. "The teak decks are overlayed on Okume Marine Plywood. The rig, rigging and sails are all built of state of the art materials. Ginger is an eye-catching future classic that will perform well on the race course or day sail in comfort."

Beautiful wood details.

Custom constructed by one of Maine's foremost wooden boat builders, she has been meticulously maintained by the builder's yard in as-good-(if not better)-as-new condition.

"Rose" is a beauty to behold and a joy to sail. She turns heads wherever she voyages and will grace any harbor. This classic is for sale due to the owner's age.

This cozy stove should seal the deal.
