2008 Custom Motorsailor

Step aboard and you’ll feel the difference of a true, one-off wooden build. The warm joinery, traditional gaff ketch rig, and thoughtful deck layout create a boat that invites you to actually sail, not just motor from anchorage to anchorage. Her wheelhouse keeps you dry when the weather turns, while the generous cockpit and easy-to-grab rigging make short-handed sailing realistic. Below, the arrangement is practical and seamanlike, with ample stowage for long stretches off the dock and cozy spaces that feel more like a cabin in the woods than a production yacht. This is a boat you’ll be proud to tinker on, refine, and truly make your own.

A custom motorsailor of this size and style is perfectly suited to local waters where conditions can shift from flat calm to blustery in a single day. The dependable diesel lets you thread tight channels and time your passages through narrows, while the gaff ketch rig gives you a versatile sail plan for variable breeze and frequent wind shifts. Shoal-friendly draft and protected underbody are ideal for exploring tucked-away coves, logging miles along rugged shorelines, or lingering in quiet anchorages. With generous tankage and liveaboard-friendly accommodations, this design makes extended seasonal cruising in this region not just possible, but genuinely comfortable.
