Electric Yacht at the Annapolis Boat Show

The QuietTorque 3.6 (https://electricyachtsocal.com/product/quiettorque-5-0-copy/) is a direct drive 36v system that allow for a minimal footprint and is an ideal propulsion system for a boat less then 3600 lbs. The “plug-n-play” Electric Yacht QuietTorque system includes throttle, monitor, fuse, switches, relays, thrust bearing and coupler.

Marshall 22

Here is the perfect boat to expand your cruising grounds. The Marshall 22 is a rugged, sea-kindly boat with classic looks that will turn heads in any harbor. Her two-foot draft will let you access anchorages and coves that are off limits to most cruising sailboats. The M-22 is roomy enough for a family of four and simple enough for a couple to enjoy a relaxing weekend away from home.

An elegant daysailer, the M-22 is also a capable long distance cruiser. Many of her owners have sailed their boats from New England to Florida and even as far north as Greenland. Accommodations below compare to those found in most 30-footers.

For those preferring greater sail area and more sail handling, the traditional look of the sloop rigged version of the M-22 has proven popular.

Cruiser or daysailer, cat or sloop rigged, let us work with you to customize a boat that will satisfy your sailing needs.

Marshall Sandering Daysailor/Weekender

The Sanderling is a common sense daysailer/weekender offering a spacious cockpit and roomy cabin unrivaled by any boat of similar length. Easy to single hand, sail with kids, or sail across the bay with four or five friends. Her size, stability, and self-bailing cockpit allow her to withstand some of the most challenging conditions you may encounter. She is a quick, responsive, one-design which is being raced in ever growing fleets in the Chesapeake, New Jersey, and New England.

The newly redesigned molded cockpit offers a cleaner look with reduced maintenance and increased comfort.

Looking for an even larger cockpit? She is also available as an open cockpit daysailer. The same hull and rig as the traditional Sanderling, and ideal for those who prefer only to daysail. She has the capability to fit up to eight adults comfortably and is perfect for afternoon cocktails and hors d’oeuvres.

The Sanderling is one of the oldest continuously produced fiberglass boats on the market and we are proud to have built over 830 of them since 1962.

Hull, with integral centerboard trunk, and deck are one piece molded fiberglass. Deck and transom are reinforced with closed cell foam. White hull and cabin sides are standard, with deck and cockpit color choice of buff, bone, white or gray. The bottom is painted with two coats anti-fouling paint.

The Bridges Point 24 has been described as knowing the difference between large and small waves. This sloop-rigged sailboat is quick, easy to sail, safe, and spirited. The daysailer can be comfortably sailed single-handedly or is ideal for a family or small crew. Whether putting it through its paces at the annual BP24 regatta or taking a peaceful cruise along the coast, the BP24 is strong, elegant, and ready to respond.

Designed in 1984 by Joel White of Brooklin, Maine, the Bridges Point 24 was built by Wade Dow, also of Brooklin. The original molds have been purchased by Bill Wright, and the BP24 is again in production, now at the Bridges Point Boat Company on Mount Desert Island. Wade Dow will assist in the construction of the first model. The classic look and feel Wade achieved is retained with a new emphasis on modern methods and equipment. Leading this is the option of the Electric Yacht QuietTorque 5.0 system (https://electricyachtsocal.com/product/quiettorque-5-0-2/). Based on modern PMAC (permanent magnet AC) and advanced electronic controls the Bridge Point 24 is pushed quietly and with good authority.

Built to the exacting standards of the original BP24 with the technology and efficiency available today, the BP24 excels in a breeze and will keep you dry up to 15 knots.

Both the daysailer and the weekender combine wholesome, traditional looks with reliable, joyful performance.
