Sprit-rigged 15′ Delaware Ducker. Modernized version of a late 19th to early 20th Century traditional waterman’s fishing & hunting boat from Delaware Bay. Thomas Eakins featured the Ducker in two of his paintings. Sails very well and handles bumpy water. Been out in 12-15 knot breezes (Little Pleasant Bay- Chatham). Good secondary stability. Rows well also, but not a speed queen. Handles two persons well, can fit in three. Hull is 100-110 lbs. (I think). Great all around seaworthy small boat for inshore sailing. Might try heading out a bit to blue water with a good sag boat along. If you don’t believe me, just ask Ben Fuller.

Looks like a fun boat! Perfect camp cruiser, I suspect. I just saw that you ‘re in Sterling, my “home port”. I have a boat in South Portland (gaff cutter Lydia) and 30ft S&S sloop that we keep in Brooklin (Loon) in the show. I have a 16ft Zip sloop, 1945, in my shop in Sterling now. Needs work, but should be in the water this summer.,
