FLYING FISH FOR SALE!

2010 Laurent Giles Vertue Class Sloop, FLYING FISH, is one of the most capable and well-loved small cruising yachts ever designed, and thus requires no further introduction. However, stepping aboard FLYING FISH will shatter any pre-conceived notion you may have of what such a craft might look or feel like.

Builder Jack Basset, one of Hodgdon Yachts’ finest craftsmen, quietly and diligently building a Vertue Class sloop in his home workshop during evenings and weekends over the course of eight years – utilizing the very same wood/epoxy composite construction, finest imaginable materials, and impeccable craftsmanship employed during his day job. The result: A tiny oceangoing classic yacht called FLYING FISH, launched in East Boothbay, Maine in 2010.

Remarkably, the boat looks as perfect (or possibly even better) today as she did when launched in 2010. Her varnish is impeccable inside and out, the Yanmar 2YM15 diesel was brand new in 2020, and all of her electronics, safety equipment and other systems are fully up to date.

The original Buzzards Bay 15s were designed by Nathanael Herreshoff in 1898, and known as the E-Class. These boats are thrilling sailors. They are fast, stiff, and responsive. The hull is slippery, and even at speed such little turbulence is created that the boat leaves virtually no wake.
