LakeSailer Version of the Goodboat
This custom Goodboat is one-of-a kind, the most
special Goodboat I’ve ever built and the most successful. It was
conceived to meet two goals, to be a more dedicated sailing version,
and to be ideal for tandem rowing. It was made of some of the most
beautiful west coast red cedar veneer we’ve ever had, book-matched
inside and out. To make it a better sailboat we gave it a
two-position daggerboard and decking all around, with hidden
diagonals of Kevlar strand to make the boat rigid. It’s comfortable
to sit on the wide side-decks to make the best of your human
ballast. The side decks and low coamings allow sailing with more
security, and there are flotation bags fore and aft under the decks.
The coamings and spray rails knock down some of the spray from
waves. A removable panel in the stern deck permits using a small
outboard—and an antique Johnson 4hp in perfect running order can be
purchased with the boat. A small motor can be brought inboard and
laid on chocks son the bottom aft to go a-sailing.
There is also a fitted cover and a Trailex trailer.
All in all, a sailor’s and rower’s boat. Now at a reduced price,
$5800.
