Hull #1332
2005 Heritage, fast boat, good race results: 6th in 2010 World Championships, 7th in 2010 US National Championships, 1st in 2010 Irish East Coast Championships and 4th in 2007 World Championships. This boat was lightly used in 2008, 2009 and 2010. Includes ringframe, Tactic compass and Brolga turnbuckles. The boat comes with two masts--the original Smidmore mast and a 2010 Selden (Proctor) used for four regattas. Most of the running rigging was replaced in 2010. The standing rigging on the Selden was new for 2010. The boat has a small console. It comes with a full inventory of 2009 and 2010 Doyle sails, which have been lightly used--2 regattas for the 2009 sails and 3 regattas for the 2010 sails. It has a double-axle trailer with huge sailboxes and two boxes on the trailer tongue. There is a rig-up cover, a cockpit cover and mast covers, ginpole, plus spare halyards, etc. This boat is a turnkey solution; the only thing you need to provide to go sailing is foulweather gear and lunch.  It is in Newport, RI, in indoor storage. I will consider chartering for Jag series and San Diego series/Worlds.

Hull #74
She sat in storage before my owning it since the early 80s The boat is currently in Marquette, MI, in a B-52 hanger on KI Sawyer, and has been there in dry storage with the trailer on blocks (new tires) for 3-4 years now. It is all white with a blue stripe and the waterline, and sits on a single axle trailer, with an aluminum mast/boom. I believe I have 9 sails for it, 2 mains, 2 spinnakers, but are obviously older sails due to the timing of ownership (3-4 of which have never been used). All original teak floor and tiller is in great shape, and all cables for the rigging are there. She has the traditional rigging with 2 winches on the deck and no center console. There are no lines at all. Could have it delivered in the midwest possibly (esp in IL, WI, & MI). From the fleet info: "The bit of information shows that the number was issued in July 1979. The original owners were: R.W. Leith, Jr & R. Doyle and subsequent owner was Frank Hart." If you are interested in donating old lines that are still in decent (safe) condition, it could lead me to actually being able to sail the boat in the future rather than selling, so please contact me as well.

Hull #55
Brief history of 55: She spent many years in Newport, CA, racing with the fleet down there. In the late 1990s she was bought by a gentleman from Gibbons, BC, and moved there. He never put her in the water. My brother-in-law and I bought her in 2004 and moved her to Seattle. We extensively rebuilt and upgraded her. In 2005 we moved her to San Francisco where she now sits. Boat was measured for the SF Worlds a few years ago; she weighed in about 20 lbs over min. weight. Upgrades: New dual-axle trailer (2004) with sail box and storage box; two masts, Australian and old Proctor; three sets of main and jib sails; one spinnaker; New North sails used less than 10 times. Practice sails by North in good shape. New running rigging and controls; work mostly done in SF, has all desired gross and fine tune lines; tapered main, jib and spin sheets; spin bag, sheet bags, cockpit cover. Movable mast butt.

Used Sails and Parts for Sale

Doyle Sails
DC+ Main '09 $1,100; Doyle DC+ Main '05 $300 obo. If you have a Proctor or Kenyan mast, the DC+ will work well on your boat. At the end of the 2010 season we broke our proctor mast and are now looking to sell both of our DC+ main sails. The '09 main has only been used in a few championship regattas (mostly light air), has excellent shape and very few wrinkles. The '05 main was well used each Saturday through two summers, but still has good shape and was winning races in Marblehead when the mast broke. Both sails are currently at the Doyle loft in Salem, MA.
